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 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.
