Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/hardware/libinput.nix
services.libinput.mouse.accelProfile
Sets the pointer acceleration profile to the given profile.

(device-specific) factor, depending on the current speed.
adaptive: Pointer acceleration depends on the input speed.
This is the default profile for most devices.
Type: one of "flat", "adaptive"
Default
"adaptive"
Example
"flat"
Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/hardware/libinput.nix

Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/hardware/libinput.nix
services.libinput.mouse.buttonMapping
Sets the logical button mapping for this device, see XSetPointerMapping(3). The string must be a space-separated list of button mappings in the order of the logical buttons on the device, starting with button 1. The default mapping is "1 2 3 ... 32". A mapping of 0 deac‐ tivates the button. Multiple buttons can have the same mapping. Invalid mapping strings are discarded and the default mapping is used for all buttons. Buttons not specified in the user's mapping use the default mapping. See section BUTTON MAPPING for more details.
Type: null or string
Default
null

"1 6 3 4 5 0 7"
Declared by: https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/services/hardware/libinput.nix
