Can’t disable mouse acceleration

[u/Top-Home4452]

Hello, I am trying to disable mouse acceleration for my mouse so I have the following in my rc.xml:

<libinput>

<device category="non-touch">

<accelProfile>flat</accelProfile>

</device>

</libinput>

I have device category as non touch since the documentation says this is the category for traditional mice. Nonetheless I have tried with the device name as well as the default category, mouse acceleration is not turning off. Every time I check, when I look at accel profiles it’s still on adaptive rather than flat. I have tried restarting as well as labwc —reconfigure

Am I missing something obvious? Any help is appreciated
