OnePlus: Set Dwell Timing for Mouse Clicks

If you connect a USB or Bluetooth mouse to your OnePlus phone, an automatic click can trigger as soon as the pointer stops moving. Depending on the delay you have set, this click may fire too quickly or take far too long, making menus feel unresponsive or overly sensitive. Dwell timing controls exactly how long the cursor has to stay still before that click happens.

Set Dwell Timing for Mouse Click auf OnePlus

Dwell timing is part of the accessibility tools built for pointer devices such as a USB or Bluetooth mouse. When you plug one into your OnePlus phone, the system can replace the usual tap with an automatic click, triggered once the cursor stays still for a set amount of time.

If that click fires too fast, you might select items by accident while just moving the pointer across the screen. If it fires too slowly, every action feels sluggish, especially in menus or lists.

The delay lives inside the accessibility settings, separate from the general pointer or touch settings. To adjust it: Open the SettingsTap on SystemTap on AccessibilityTap on Dwell timingEnable or disable Dwell timingSwipe left or right to set the delay before click.

Turning the feature off removes the automatic click entirely, useful if you prefer to click manually with a mouse button. Keep in mind this setting only affects external pointer devices - it has no effect on normal touchscreen taps.

Frequently asked questions
