multiple mice

I have a synaptic track-pad and a orochi razer mouse. I want different settings for each device and for the razer I want to disable acceleration.
This may seem pretty basic, but all arch wiki articles assume one device. I do not know how to specifically multiple devices and settings for each device when one of them is removeable.

Re: multiple mice

I don't know what documentation you're reading, but ServerLayout and InputDevice sections are outdated.

Read up on InputClass sections, particularly about MatchIsPointer and other match settings.

Re: multiple mice

I don't know what documentation you're reading, but ServerLayout and InputDevice sections are outdated.

edit: So i Understand InputClasses now, but how do you know what to specify. for instance I just want one for my orochi mouse. what do input classes use to pick up on the devices.
also what is ServerLayout replaced with
my mouse is also showing up as two devices. one with accel and one without.
