Xiaomi: Enlarge the Mouse Pointer for Better Visibility

When you plug a USB mouse or similar pointing accessory into a Xiaomi phone, the on-screen pointer often stays tiny and hard to track. Large mouse pointer is a dedicated Accessibility option built for exactly this situation, especially useful for anyone with limited vision. Without enabling it, you end up guessing where the cursor sits on a crowded screen.

Enlarge the Mouse Pointer auf Xiaomi

Connecting a USB mouse or a similar pointing device to a Xiaomi phone works fine for most people, but the default pointer size is calibrated for large monitors, not compact phone screens. On a small display, that same pointer can shrink to a barely visible dot, which becomes a real problem for anyone with reduced vision or for fast navigation between tiny icons.

MIUI addresses this with a Physical accessibility option called Large mouse pointer. It scales up the cursor rendered on screen whenever an external pointing accessory is active, without changing font size, display zoom, or any other layout setting.

To turn it on or off: Tap on SettingsTap on Additional settingsTap on AccessibilityTap on PhysicalEnable or disable Large mouse pointer.

This setting only affects the cursor rendered for connected pointing devices. It has no effect on touch input, and it does not resize on-screen text or app icons. If icons themselves feel too small to tap, a display scaling option is the better fix, not this accessibility toggle.

Frequently asked questions

No. It only affects the cursor shown for a connected USB or Bluetooth pointing device. Touch gestures and tap targets stay exactly the same.
