Can't disable mouse acceleration

I'm trying to set up an i3-gaps install on a lenovo yoga 2 pro,  and by default there is mouse acceleration.
Following the advice on the wiki, I have created:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mouse-acceleration.conf

and have written in it:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "TouchPad"
    Driver "libinput"
    MatchIsPointer "yes"
    Option "AccelProfile" "flat"
EndSection

but this doesn't seem to do anything.

Re: Can't disable mouse acceleration

There're two layers of acceleration:
1. in the driver, notice the manual

Not all devices support this option or all profiles.

2. in the server

xset -q | grep -A1 "Pointer Control"
