Lowering mouse debounce time

i'm trying to lower my debounce time down to 4ms and i've been trying using xinput so i did

xinput --list|grep -i mouse

and i got as output

 ↳ CUST0001:00 04F3:30AA Mouse id=14 [slave pointer (2)]

then i tried

xinput --set-prop 14 "Evdev Debounce Delay" 4

but got

property 'Evdev Debounce Delay' doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format

i also tried with single quotes but same output please help``

xinput --list-props 14

It is possible, but this may not apply for all mice. Type:

sudo -i

Enter your password then type:

libinput list-devices | grep Device

Then cd to the this directory by using this command:

cd /usr/share/libinput

Take note of your mouses name. Like for my wireless mouse it is MOSART Semi. 2.4G Wireless Mouse

Then type touch local-overrides.quirks

Now, to edit the file where you change the debounce time type:

nano local-overrides.quirks

Then edit the file according to your needs. Like this is an example:

[Mouse Name]

MatchName=Mouse Name

ModelBouncingKeys=1

Like for my mouse it will be:

[MOSART Semi. 2.4G Wireless Mouse]

MatchName=MOSART Semi. 2.4G Wireless Mouse

ModelBouncingKeys=4
