Add the Option "NaturalScrolling" "True" like this:

For your mouse:

# Match on all types of devices but joysticks
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput pointer catchall"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
        Option "NaturalScrolling" "True"
EndSection

For your touchpad:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
        Option "NaturalScrolling" "True"

Disable middle click

First get a list of the input devices

xinput list

Then output the button map for the device. You can use the name or ID number.

xinput get-button-map 'PIXA3854:00 093A:0274 Touchpad'

or

xinput get-button-map 10

It likely looks like this

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Middle click is typically 2 change that 1

xinput set-button-map 10 1 1 3 4 5 6 7

Ensure this change is permanent.

echo "xinput set-button-map 10 1 1 3 4 5 6 7" >> ~/.xinitrc

source

Set acceleration speed for track pad

xinput set-prop "device name" "ID" 0.45

PIXA3854:00 093A:0274 Touchpad

xinput list-props "PIXA3854:00 093A:0274 Touchpad" | grep "Accel Speed"

    libinput Accel Speed (328):     0.000000
    libinput Accel Speed Default (329):     0.000000
