Sway allows for configuration of devices within the sway configuration file.
To obtain a list of available device identifiers, run *swaymsg -t get_inputs*.
+Settings can also be applied to all input devices by using the wildcard, _\*_,

+Tip: If the configuration settings do not appear to be taking effect, you could

+using a different identifier from *swaymsg -t get_inputs* until you find the
+correct input device.
