I am using this command here xset m 1/2 8 but something I noticed is that I have to do it every time I log in. Is there a more permanent way of changing my mouse sensitivity?

Also what do the 1/2 and 8 pertain to for the mouse speed?

I'll answer the numbers part: The first number is for acceleration and the second is for the threshold. From man xset:

By default the pointer (the on-screen representation  of  the  pointing
device)  will  go  `acceleration' times as fast when the device travels
more than `threshold' mickeys (i.e. would-be pixels) in 10 ms,  includ‐
ing a small transition range ...
