NAME
xinput - utility to configure and test XInput devices

SYNOPSIS
xinput [version] [list [device_name]] [set-pointer device_name] [get-feedbacks device_name] [set-mode device_name ABSOLUTE|RELATIVE] [set-ptr-feedback device_name threshold num denom] [set-integer-feedback device_name index value] [set-button-map device_name map button 1 [map button 2 [...]]] [query-state device_name] [test [-proximity] device_name]

DESCRIPTION

xinput version
    test if the XInput extension is available and return the version 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 XGetFeedbackControl(3).

xinput set-pointer device_name
    Switch device_name in core pointer. Uses XChangePointerDevice(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 XChangeFeedbackControl(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 XSetDeviceButtonMapping(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 set-float-prop device_name property value
    Sets a float property for the device.

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 endless 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.
