Pls make Anki recognize the mouse's keys

It’s tiring for my eyes to study looking at text on a phone’s small screen for longs periods of time despite the high convenience of the device( even more with the answers buttons taking some of the space and forcing me to make the font smaller so everything fits) and that’s why, at first, i started using the up and down volume buttons for answering while hiding the buttons and bars. It’s very convenient, but i know that pressing both buttons thousands of times a day while studying wouldn’t take long to brake them, so i thought about using a mouse i had together with the phone so i could still have space for text while not risking damaging the buttons on the device. It would be perfect, if not by the app not recognizing the mouse’s keys for answers.

Could you make them recognizable for answers pls?

I don’t know what your mouse is or how you’re connecting, but have you tried setting up your mouse like you would a controller/remote – Settings > Controls?

Or else – have you tried using gestures? That seems like a clear fit for wanting to hide the buttons, and needing another way to interact with the app. AnkiDroid User Manual
