'AccelSpeed' is not an equivalent for 'VelocityScale'. man 4 libinput Option "AccelSpeed" "float" Sets the pointer acceleration speed within the range [-1, 1] libinput Accel Speed 1 32-bit float value, defines the pointer speed.

Gonna link to this here first: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libinput/feature_requests/ Can you explain what you are trying to achive? Maybe there's a better way around it.
I'm not trying to achieve, I'm using it for years actually. ;) Without the VelocityScale Maximus, I'm struggling with the bunny as Herrigel struggled with the bow. This, now specific "brakeless" mouse pointer movement has been, until the certain point of time in the Xorg input shabang, actually common. And then someone decided to change the whole picture. Surprise, surprise!
none of that answers my question though, so I'm still left with a feature request without knowing what you're actually trying to achieve.
It seems that you only looking for an excuse not to implement 'VelocityScale' equivalent. ;) Surprise, surprise!
closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA, please re-open when the data I requested in comment #1 was provided.
