Change the Pointer Speed in Android

For Android devices that have a trackball or that allow you to use a mouse, pointer speed is important. You can fix the pointer speed to be what you want with internal controls.

Steps

  1. Press the "menu" button on your phone. Then, select "Settings".
  2. Select the "Language & Keyboard" option towards the bottom of the screen.
  3. Scroll down the Input screen to reach more options towards the bottom.
  4. Select "Pointer speed" under the "Mouse/trackpad" heading.
  5. Click on the blue knob.
  6. Slide the knob to the right to increase mouse speed. Slide to the left to decrease it. Click "OK" to keep the new setting.



Tips

  • Make the pointer speed higher once you feel more skilled in a certain Android game in order to have increased control in that game.

Warnings

  • Pointer speed won't affect anything in Android besides track devices or a mouse connected to Android.
