Hi guys
I have a Microsoft Trackball Explorer and i am trying to increase its speed. On windows i used to drag the slider of mouse speed ti max but to my limited knowledge this is not easy to be done on linux and acceleration is prefered. I am using openbox
I tried to set the accelrration to 4/1 and threshold 0 using xset like in the wiki
To get the current values, use:
$ xset q | grep -A 1 Pointer
To set new values, type:
$ xset m acceleration threshold
It confirms that the change has been made
But nothing changes in terms of speed or acceletation. any ideas how to do this?

a) ensure it's not a wayland session ("loginctl session-status")
b) try another threshold, "0" gets special treatment and I've no idea whether that might cause funky effects w/ trackballs.

I have already tried other thresholds but they didnt work. I will check if it is a wayland session once i get back home

It seems i was using wayland session.
Using
$ xinput --set-prop <device id> 'libinput Accel Speed' <acceleration factor>
works like a charm. ANd also it is per device! So i can have different acceleration for different devices.
