How to move mouse faster?

I installed Ubuntu 18.04 to the Dell xps 13(9370) with a mouse Logicool M590.

The mouse can be connected successfully, but pointer speed is not fast enough for me.

I tried Mouse & Touchpad section of system config application and xinput --set-float-prop pointer:M585/M590 "libinput Accel Speed" 1 command, but I got same result from both setting.

Are there any other way to change mouse speed?

Thanks,

This page expalins how to use xinput command, but I need other method to make mouse pointer moves faster.

xset command mentioned in the page doesn't work. I guess xset command doesn't work with libinput.

For me it made the sensitivity and acceleration just like it was in 16.04 (16.04 to 18.04 update slowed the mouse way too much).

put

xinput --set-prop 'ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse' 'Device Accel Profile' 2

into

~/.xsessionrc

To get the name of the mouse:

xinput --list --short

Derived from in this answer:

but changed instead just the acceleration profile from 0 to 2:

1. Run in terminal xinput --list --short and find your mouse id (for me id=12)

2. Run in terminal xinput --list-props 12 (change 12 for the right id)

3. Find the id for the property Device Accel Profile (for me 267)

4. Run in terminal xinput --set-prop 12 267 2 (change 12 and 267 for the correct id)
