Can you be more precise please, what exactly doesn't work?

Default speed is tooo looow.

"xset" doesn't work, and the "speed widget" of
gnome-control-center->Mouse&Touchpad is useless.
Comment 3 Peter Hutterer 2015-05-05 23:53:08 UTC 
what version of libinput and xorg-x11-drv-libinput. What's the output of xinput list-props "Logitech M570"?

ok, checking the specs this device has 540 DPI. save this file:
$> cat /etc/udev/hwdb.d/99-m570.hwdb
# Logitech M570 trackball
mouse:usb:v046dp1028:name:Logitech M570:
 MOUSE_DPI=540@167

$> udevadm hwdb --update

make sure the property shows up with
  udevadm hwdb --test="mouse:usb:v046dp1028:name:Logitech M570:"
if not, it didn't get loaded correctly. if it did, restart X. That should give it the normalized speed.

As for the slider not doing anything: does   
  gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.mouse speed
change as you move the slider? if so but the speed doesn't change, try updating mutter, a bug got fixed with 3.16.1 that was likely the cause of this.
Comment 9 Peter Hutterer 2015-05-19 01:00:28 UTC 
what fixed the issue? so I know what to push upstream and what was some local issue.
Comment 10 Account closed by the user 2015-05-19 07:42:32 UTC 
filling this file /etc/udev/hwdb.d/99-m570.hwdb was enough
Comment 11 Peter Hutterer 2015-05-19 23:00:02 UTC 
Applied upstream, should be part of the next systemd update:
