How to change my mouse speed? (NOT acceleration)

Topic says it all,
I fail to change the speed/velocity of my mouse. (I want to make it faster)
I tried using xinput changing the "constant deceleration" and various other values, but no value had _any_ effect at all, only the "enable" property actually worked (and disabled my mouse).

"xset m " is also not useful as it only sets the acceleration.

I also tried adding the following things to my 10-evdev.conf:

                Option    "Sensitivity"    "100.0"
                Option    "ConstantDeceleration"    "-100.0"
                Option "Resolution" "2.000"
                Option "AccelFactor" "100.0"
                Option "MinSpeed" "10.75"

None of which had any effect.

Anyone got ideas?

Thanks for searching, but the very first one already says in the link that it'? about mouse acceleration (and I also looked at that before), the second one is also about acceleration (and I also checked that one before) and the last one says he used Sensitivity which I already listed in my config tries above.

I am not sure I quite understand what you are looking for.  The prankster in me wants me to suggest that you apply more force to the mouse

I think you want a constant ratio of cursor distance traveled to mouse distance traveled, but you want that ratio to be higher than it is now.  Can you verify?

Use xinput, to change it on-the-fly, which is more convenient than an xorg configuration file.

Previous thread. What I currently use:

xinput set-prop "Razer  Razer Abyssus" "Device Accel Profile" -1
xinput set-prop "Razer  Razer Abyssus" "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" 3.6
xinput set-prop "Razer  Razer Abyssus" "Device Accel Velocity Scaling" 1.0
