feedbacks device_name] [set-mode device_name ABSOLUTE|RELATIVE] [set-
ptr-feedback device_name threshold num denom] [set-integer-feedback

DESCRIPTIONxinput version
test if the XInput extension is available and return the ver‐
sion number of the program.
xinput list [device_name]
If no argument is given list all the input devices showing all
their features. If an argument is given, show all the feature
of device_name. Uses XListInputDevices(3).
xinput get-feedbacks device_name
Display the feedbacks of device_name. Uses XGetFeedbackCon‐
trol(3).
xinput set-pointer device_name
Switch device_name in core pointer. Uses XChangePointerDe‐
vice(3).
xinput set-mode device_name ABSOLUTE|RELATIVE
Change the mode of device_name. Uses XSetDeviceMode(3).
xinput set-ptr-feedback device_name threshold num denom
Change the acceleration of device_name. Uses XChangeFeedback‐
Control(3).
xinput set-integer-feedback device_name index value
Change the value of an integer feedback of device_name. Uses
XChangeFeedbackControl(3).
xinput set-button-map device_name map button 1 [map button 2 [...]]
Change the button mapping of device_name. Uses XSetDeviceBut‐
tonMapping(3).
xinput query-state device_name
Query the device state. Uses XQueryDeviceState(3).
xinput list-props device_name [device_name...]
Lists properties that can be set for the given device(s).
xinput set-int-prop device_name property format value
Sets an integer property for the device. Appropriate values
for format are 8, 16, or 32, depending on the property.
xinput watch-props device_name
Prints to standard out when property changes occur.
xinput delete-prop device_name property
Delete the property from the device.
xinput test [-proximity] device_name
Register all extended events from device_name and enter an end‐
less loop displaying events received. If the -proximity is
given, ProximityIn and ProximityOut are registered.
device_name can be the device name as a string or the XID of the
device.
property can be the property as a string or the Atom value.
