I have the same problem on XPS 15 9550, the problem occurred after
upgrading from 16.10 to 17.04.
Tried the Terminal way and xset, different mouses, wired and wireless
but nothing helped.

Title:
Mouse speed/acceleration ignored in 17.04
Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After upgrading to 17.04 my mouse (a plain Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical
Mouse) is much slower and nothing I do changes its speed.
Tried through the settings GUI, using xset and using xinput. Nothing
seems to do anything. The only thing that offers some feedback is
xinput, that complaints about a value out of range:
$ xinput --set-prop 8 289 2
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for
operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 131 (XInputExtension)
Minor opcode of failed request: 57 ()
Value in failed request: 0x121
Serial number of failed request: 19
Current serial number in output stream: 20
where 8 is the device id, 289 is the "libinput Accel Speed", and 2 is the
desired multiplier:
$ xinput --list --short
⎡ Virtual core pointerid=2[master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4[slave pointer
(2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse id=8[slave pointer
(2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3[master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5[slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Buttonid=6[slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Buttonid=7[slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver (185b:3020) id=9
[slave keyboard (3)]
↳ LITEON Technology USB Multimedia Keyboard id=10 [slave
keyboard (3)]
↳ Nuvoton w836x7hg Infrared Remote Transceiverid=11 [slave
keyboard (3)]
Basically I can set that value in the range 0..1, with no effect
(although it is reported correctly by xinput --list-props), or outside
and getting the error. Likewise, changing values with xset shows them
as changed, but the mouse is oblivious to it.
Finally, I tried in a live USB and at least via the settings GUI there's no
noticeable difference between either extreme setting of the slider.
