[SOLVED] Lowering Mouse Sensitivity

I would like to change my mouse sensitivity much lower. I am using i3 as my DE & wayland.

I have pasted this code into this file in /etc/99-libinput-custom-config.conf:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "MyMouseSettings"
        MatchDriver "libinput"
        MatchProduct "Glorious Glorious Model I"
        Option "AccelSpeed" "0.01"
        Option "AccelProfile" "flat"
EndSection

however it still does not change my mouse sensitivity and slight movement brings my pointer from 1 end of the monitor to the other end

[EDIT]

I have solved this by reinstalling arch linux and installing wayland correctly since it seems I have messed up something in the process of installing wayland.

Re: [SOLVED] Lowering Mouse Sensitivity

The thing seems to have a bunch of HW DPI buttons, do they allow you to alter the mouse DPI?
There's https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gloriousctl but idk whether it supports your mouse.

xinput list
xset q | grep accel

Re: [SOLVED] Lowering Mouse Sensitivity

I am using i3 as my DE & wayland.

Are you saying you're using i3 alongside a wayland compositor? If you're only running i3, you're not "using" wayland...

You might want to take a peek at:
