Hi Martin, thanks for replying. But you invalidated my bug report before
understanding it. I specifically said this was NOT ABOUT MOUSE ACCELERATION. 
Its a bit insulting when one takes the time to write a one of these up, and
have it invalidated without someone bothering to understand the issue. 

First, there isn't a "mouse settings" in system settings. So I'll assume you
mean "Input Devices" since that seems to be where mice are dealt with. In that
area I find "Pointer acceleration" -- the very same thing I said I was not
looking for, and "Pointer threshold" which is related. If you look at the x11
config file that, which has the functionality I am attempting to replicate, it
clearly says "flat" acceleration profile -- ie, none. I made it very clear that
I was not talking about mouse acceleration. 

This is NOT INVALID. In the future please don't be so ready to invalidate these
things if you don't want community interaction to be discouraged.

[kwin] [Bug 386811] New: No way to change cursor speed in Wayland

[Salsa Doom]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=386811

Bug ID: 386811
   Summary: No way to change cursor speed in Wayland
   Product: kwin
   Version: unspecified
  Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: NOR
 Component: wayland-generic
  Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
  Reporter: salsad...@protonmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

There isn't a way to change the pointer speed in Wayland. This is important for
people who have hi dpi mice, like say, a Roccat Kone XTD. :) 

On X11, one might create a .conf file like

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Mouse0" 
MatchIsPointer "yes"
Option "AccelProfile" "flat"
Option "AccelSpeed" "-0.85"
EndSection

Note the flat acceleration profile, this isn't about mouse acceleration but the
actual pointer speed. This functionality is currently impossible (AFAIK) to
replicate in kwin on Wayland. This is especially noteworthy an issue for gamers
who frequently purchase high end mice with very hi dpi (they go up to 12k now).
