# Mouse Sensitivity on Arch
The following assumes that you are using Xorg as the windowing protocol.
# Using xinput
Get a list of devices with:
xinput list
In this list you will find the identifier and names of your devices. In this example, we will assume "Logitech MX Vertical" as our device indentifier.
+++
Get a list of all properties of your device:
xinput list-props "pointer:Logitech MX Vertical"
Here you will see a list of properties that can be configured. In this case, the property we want to configure is "libinput Accel Speed"
+++
Next we set the acceleration to desired value:
xinput set-prop "pointer:Logitech MX Vertical" "libinput Accel Speed" 1
And that's it! The acceleration value is updated. However, this configuration will be reset when we reboot the system. To make it permanent, we can include the set-prop command in ~/.xprofile. .xprofile is executed at the beginning of each X user session.
# ~/.xprofile
xinput set-prop "pointer:Logitech MX Vertical" "libinput Accel Speed" 1
# Customizing Logitech MX Mouse
The max sensitivity of the config above was not enough for me. There is further customization we can do with Logitech MX mouse.
