[SOLVED] Adjust Mouse Sensitivity (DPI)

Hey there

I want to adjust the sensitivity of my mouse.
As far as I read, it could be done with xinput, but I don't feel any changes if I change the parameters.

$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Mouse Trust Gaming Mouse                  id=11   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad                id=14   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                         id=3    [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard               id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                              id=6    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                                 id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                              id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Sleep Button                              id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Mouse Trust Gaming Mouse                  id=10   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Chicony USB 2.0 Camera: Chicony           id=12   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard              id=13   [slave  keyboard (3)]

$ xinput list-props 11
Device 'Mouse Trust Gaming Mouse':
        Device Enabled (163):   1

        libinput Left Handed Enabled Default (313):     0
        libinput Send Events Modes Available (283):     1, 0
        libinput Send Events Mode Enabled (284):        0, 0
        libinput Send Events Mode Enabled Default (285):        0, 0
        Device Node (286):      "/dev/input/event6"
        Device Product ID (287):        5215, 627
        libinput Drag Lock Buttons (314):       <no items>
        libinput Horizontal Scroll Enabled (315):       1

I read that "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" should be changed, but as you can see I don't have this settings.
I changed "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" but it took no effect.

Any ideas?

Thanks Giuseppe

Re: [SOLVED] Adjust Mouse Sensitivity (DPI)

Which WM/DE are you using?
Which display server (X or Wayland)?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

But it wasn't what I searched for, the mousepointer is moving at the same speed.

Re: [SOLVED] Adjust Mouse Sensitivity (DPI)

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mouse_acceleration

You have to change by libinput:

xinput --set-prop <device id> 'libinput Accel Speed' <acceleration factor>

in range -1, 1 (default 0) and check by 'xinput list-props 11'.

        libinput Drag Lock Buttons (314):       <no items>
        libinput Horizontal Scroll Enabled (315):       1

That was it.
I read the article, but I assumed that "Accel" would only affect the acceleration, meaning the speed of the mouse affects the mouse logarithmic and not linear.

Thank you!
Giuseppe
