Android 15 QPR2 is preparing cool new tweaks for keyboards and mice

[phillynews215]

• We spotted new accessibility and customization options for physical keyboards and mice in Android 15 QPR2 Beta 1.
• These features aren’t live yet, but they include customization of the bounce keys threshold, a repeat keys feature, a mouse reverse scrolling feature, and a feature to swap the left and right mouse buttons.
• Google has been working on improving Android’s support for physical keyboards and mice for a few years now.

Although you can hook up a keyboard and mouse to most Android tablets, you won’t get the same experience you’ll get on PCs running Windows or macOS. That’s because Android lacks a lot of keyboard and mouse options you’ll find on desktop operating systems. Google’s been working to change that, though. The initial release of Android 15, for example, added a handful of nifty new keyboard and touchpad features, and the next quarterly release will add even more options.

In the second quarterly release of Android 15 (Android 15 QPR2), Google may introduce four new accessibility and customization options for physical keyboards and mice. These include the ability to customize the bounce keys threshold, a repeat keys feature, a mouse reverse scrolling feature, and a feature that lets you swap the left and right mouse buttons. None of these features are actually available yet, but we managed to uncover them by digging through the Android 15 QPR2 Beta 1 release that Google rolled out earlier this week.
