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.

See archwiki

Notes:

• Sensitivity can be adjusted with the dpi property
• Archwiki says to run logid -v to get the name of device. sudo is required to get this to work.
