Is This Correct To Disable Mouse Acceleration In Slack?

Hi,

I'm running 15.0 using Openbox as my DE, I don't use, have any other desktops installed in Slack.

I have Razer mice and I use openrazer, but I've always noticed the DPI speeds are 2-3x faster in Slack compared to Windows, and I started to wonder if the Mouse Acceleration being enabled in Slack is the issue.

I've attached devices.txt for the output from libinput list-devices

grep accel from the terminal shows this;

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep accel
[ 2077.028] (**) NVIDIA(0): Enabling 2D acceleration
[ 2078.134] (**) Razer Razer Basilisk Essential: (accel) keeping acceleration scheme 1
[ 2078.134] (**) Razer Razer Basilisk Essential: (accel) acceleration profile 0

[ 2078.138] (**) Razer Razer Huntsman V2 Tenkeyless: (accel) acceleration factor: 2.000
[ 2078.138] (**) Razer Razer Huntsman V2 Tenkeyless: (accel) acceleration threshold: 4
[ 2078.190] (**) Razer Razer Huntsman V2 Tenkeyless: (accel) keeping acceleration scheme 1
[ 2078.190] (**) Razer Razer Huntsman V2 Tenkeyless: (accel) acceleration profile 0

[ 2078.190] (**) Razer Razer Huntsman V2 Tenkeyless: (accel) acceleration threshold: 4

If I add 50-mouse-acceleration.conf to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d with this, I noticed the speed of the mouse is twice as slow, I'm assuming because the mouse acceleration is disabled.
Code:Section "InputClass"
Identifier "My Mouse"
MatchIsPointer "yes"
Option "AccelerationProfile" "-1"
Option "AccelerationScheme" "none"
Option "AccelSpeed" "-1"
EndSectionIs this the correct way to disable acceleration in Slack?

After I added in 50-mouse-acceleration.conf I logged out and restarted X then I ran libinput list-devices and cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep accel but it looked like the same output, nothing showing acceleration disabled. Is there a way I can tell if it's off/disabled?

I've noticed one problem, I use polychromatic to adjust the mouse settings, and when I place the Poll Rate on 1000 Hz and logout and back into X it changes to 500 Hz, so I'm assuming something in the 50-mouse-acceleration.conf, and how can I change it, so it doesn't change the Poll Rate?

THANKS
