Hi Ondrej,

Yes, I took a look at libinput sources and it seems it has yet to have anything 
related to mouse devices as only touchpads are supported right now.

My question is: are we going to wait for libinput mouse support and after that 
port current gnome-control-center to libinput or are you willing to accept 
patches to fix this right now (and port to libinput when it's ready)?

Thanks.
