xinput (find you mouse)
xinput list-props ID
and then use xinput set-prop to set relevant ones

xinput --set-prop ID 'libinput Accel Profile Enabled' 0, 1
will set unaccelerated profile which you probably want on high dpi mouse
and if it still too fast, play with 'libinput Accel Speed'. f.e -0.5 will
set it to half, etc

P.S. It is possible that you mouse DPI is not detected properly by driver
use 
 ls -l /dev/input/by-id/
to find you mouse, then
 udevadm info /dev/input/eventX | grep MOUSE_DPI
if its not set, use mouse-dpi-tool to find actual dpi and
create /etc/udev/hwdb.d/71-mouse.hwdb with values from it
