I found a solution A little more googling lead me to this https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/faq.html then this https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/motion_normalization.html then https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-hwdb.html then https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/hwdb.html# Then installed libevdev-tools and ran mouse-dpi-tool /dev/input/event10 /dev/input/even10 i got from doing xinput --list then xinput --list-props 11(my current mouse's id) then put the output of mouse-dpi-tool into /etc/udev/hwdb.d/01-ian.hwdb then sudo systemd-hwdb update sudo systemct restart systemd-udev-trigger then restart X
