How to Adjust Pointer Speed on Google Pixel 7

This post will walk you through changing the default pointer speed when using the built-in keyboard (Gboard) and other text-input applications on the newest Google Pixel smartphone. Here’s a quick guide to adjust the pointer speed on the Google Pixel 7 keyboard.

What exactly is pointer speed in Android?

The sensitivity of the screen to your fingers is referred to as the pointer speed. It’s like the trackball for a mouse on computers. 

Adjusting the pointer speed is usually needed when playing mobile video games on your Pixel 7 as well as when you’re doing something other than the usual mobile use.

As mentioned earlier, dragging the slider to the left reduces the pointer speed while pulling it to the right increases the speed. Ideally, setting the pointer speed to 50%  or 60% is recommended for most regular smartphone users. 

A faster pointer speed is usually required for those who are using their phones for playing first-person shooter games. These games usually require a faster pointer speed to match the game environment.

There is no need to worry about messing up the languages and input settings because you can always put things back to their original settings with the inbuilt command to reset.

And that’s all about adjusting the pointer speed on the new Google Pixel 7 smartphone.
