xinput list

Get name of device, get properties

xinput list-props "Logitech Unifying Device. Wireless PID:101a"

Get name of accel profile property, set it

xinput set-prop "Logitech Unifying Device. Wireless PID:101a" "Device Accel Profile" -1

Add to .bashrc or whatever

Alternatively, if the mouse is annoying and has duplicate names for some reason (G502):

xinput list | grep "Logitech Gaming Mouse G502" | grep -P '\d+(?=\s+\[)' -o | xargs -n1 -I id xinput set-prop id 277 -1

Can also turn it off via xorg conf:

$ cat 50-mouse-acceleration.conf 
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Mouse0"
    MatchIsPointer "yes"
    Option "AccelerationProfile" "-1"	
EndSection
