Description

I was searching for changing the touchpad sensitivity on the wiki, but i didn't found settings for directly changing the touchpad sensitivity, and putting "sensitivity" in

    touchpad {
        natural_scroll = true
    }

is forbidden. Can someone help ?

How to reproduce

modifying the .config/hyprland/hyprland.conf file

What you want is per-device sensitivity. Look in the device section.

[manu0600]

I think the per-device sensitivity is set outside of the input{}, like this:

device:synps/2-synaptics-touchpad {
    sensitivity = +0.0
}
device:tpps/2-elan-trackpoint {
    sensitivity = +0.0
}

And you can find the device name using hyprctl devices

I put in hyprland.conf :

device:asue140d:00-04f3:31bc-mouse {
    sensitivity = 0.5
}

device:asue140d:00-04f3:31bc-touchpad {
    natural_scroll = true
    sensitivity = 0.5
} 

BUT both doesn't affect sensitivity :/

@Rqbln Did you find any solution yet?

[Edit] Per-device configuration worked. Apparently I had force_no_accel enabled, that was overriding all other configs. Disabling it fixed the issue.

[Rqbln]

Thank you I'll try :)

[manu0600]

There was "recently" an update that changes the way the per-device parameters are written. To write a per-device sensitivity, you should put this in your config (outside of any other group like "input" or whatever):

device {
    name = synps/2-synaptics-touchpad
    sensitivity = +0.0
}

The sensitivity ranges from -1.0 to +1.0 (0.0 is the default). You can find the name of your device using hyprctl devices, in my case i gives me the following:

mice:
  Mouse at xxxxxxxxxxxx:
    synps/2-synaptics-touchpad
      default speed: 0.00000
...

Did not work :(

I am on a laptop and when i run:

hyprctl devices 

My output looked like this:

mice:
    Mouse at 57297c89fa80:
        syna2ba6:00-06cb:ce78-touchpad
            default speed: 0.00000
...

In my hyprland.conf file, I can set sensitivity to any value (within the acceptable range or not) and it does not affect my touch pad sensitivity

When I set device specific settings like this

device {
  name = syna2ba6:00-06cb:ce78-touchpad
  sensitivity = +0.5
}

It also does Not work no mater that the sensitivity value is. I am not sure what is the problem.

Important_ Note : I do have Force_no_accel enabled and when it is enabled then the sensitivity settings works. Although I really do not like having acceleration enabled

I understand that I can change the acceleration profile and I am wondering if I need to do that to fix my issue. Any help would be apreciated
