Wired Mouse Tracking Speed with Ventura

I can't believe this hasn't been an issue for anyone but I can't find anything about it here or elsewhere.

I have a wired mouse connected to my M1 MBP (I don't have a wireless one, got sick of batteries) and want to change the tracking speed. For some insane reason Apple decided to only allow you to do this with wireless mice; see below. Why??? Is there some work-around for wired mice? CLI defaults?

Change Mouse settings on Mac

Use Mouse settings to change how your mouse interacts with your Mac. For example, use gestures to scroll long lists and web pages, and use screen zoom to make onscreen images larger.

Note: A wireless mouse must be connected with your Mac to display the settings listed below.

If you don't have a wireless mouse attached, you don't see that. (That's what Apple's documentation states, and that's what my experience is.) That's the whole point of my question. I have a dozen wired mice lying around here, and I'm not interested in buying another. Thus, again, if you don't have a wired mouse connected, how do you change the tracking speed?
