This is my current config setup. As you can see I make multiple changes. I remap the buttons, set the pointer acceleration, set mousewheel emulation, etc.
mouse_id="Kensington Kensington Slimblade Trackball"
if xinput --query-state "$mouse_id" > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
# We need to map names to prop numbers for the settings below
props=`xinput --list-props "$mouse_id"`
getid () {
echo "$props" | grep -i "$1" | grep -o "([0-9]\+)" | grep -o "[0-9]\+"
}
# below numbers come from 'xinput --list-props [mouse_id]'
# these property ids seem to be persistent between reboots
xinput --set-prop "$mouse_id" "$(getid profile)" 2
# NOTE need to look up these properties by name to get ids for settings
## mouse speed (change 'constant decel' first to change speed)
# fast movement acceleration velocity scaling
xinput --set-prop "$mouse_id" "$(getid accel\ velocity)" 1024
# slow movement decelleration scaling
xinput --set-prop "$mouse_id" "$(getid constant\ decel)" 6
xinput --set-prop "$mouse_id" "$(getid adaptive\ decel)" 10 # no effect?
## remap buttons (swap 2 and 8)
xinput --set-button-map "$mouse_id" 1 8 3 4 5 6 7 2
# orig: 2 8 new: 8 2
# 1 3 1 3
## mouse wheel emulation
xinput --set-prop "$mouse_id" $(getid emulation\ axes) 6 7 4 5
xinput --set-prop "$mouse_id" \
$(getid wheel\ emulation\ button) 8 # pre-remapping
xinput --set-prop "$mouse_id" $(getid "wheel emulation (") 1
xinput --set-prop "$mouse_id" $(getid emulation\ inertia) 15 #lower=faster
