For me, replacing synaptics with libinput (as in #32) did the trick.
Then I also had to write a little bash script to reduce the speed:

I confirm the pointer speed is very high, but a "xinput -set-prop 11 281

I find that I cannot slow down the mouse speed through both the system menu and

simultaneously, so this is a win win
