Is there a way to get/read the DPI that my mouse is set to?

After the recent move to libinput, my mouse speed is way to fast. I could downgrade to evdev again, but I figure I may as well solve this problem now, rather than later down the line. I have the feeling that libinput has set my mouse speed to the wrong DPI. So far I haven't been able to figure out how to display the currently set DPI. Does anyone know if it's possible?

All I can tell you is that my trackball is back to its default speed after ditching xf86-input-evdev. I had changed it by setting ConstantDeceleration, but libinput doesn't recognize that setting. It does offer settings for acceleration speed and profiles, but I haven't gotten around to learning what they mean, exactly. (The higher speed doesn't bother me that much and I use the keyboard a lot.)

Maybe you need to look in the same direction.
