+====== Mouse Sensitivity ======
+List all input devices:
+  xinput
+or
+  xinput list
+List properties of a selected input device:
+  xinput list-props <device-id>
+Example:
+  xinput list-props 268
+Set property:
+  xinput set-prop <device-id> <property> <value>
+  xinput set-prop 12 268 5.0
+===== Set Speed =====
+This example assumes that you have a notebook with a touchpad.

+   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
+   ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad              	id=12	[slave  pointer  (2)]
+</sxh>
+The touchpad has the id 12.
+Listing the properties of the touchpad shows that the property 268 is used for speed.

+Device 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad':
+	Device Enabled (141):	1
+	Coordinate Transformation Matrix (143):	1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000
+	Device Accel Profile (267):	1
+	Device Accel Constant Deceleration (268):	2.500000
+</sxh>
+The touchpad has a current speed value of 2.5. If we want to make the mouse move more sluggish we need to set a high value like 10.0. If we want a very fast mouse we need to set the value to something like 1.0. Feel free.
