Possible to slow down Input.GetAxis("Vertical")

Is it possible to slow down Input.GetAxis(“Vertical”) rate of increase
i want to control the speed witch it task the Axis gets from -1 to 0 to 1

example
_verticalAxis = 0
i press

after 2 seconds
_verticalAxis = 0.25
after 2 seconds
_verticalAxis = 0.5
after 2 seconds
_verticalAxis = 0.75
after 2 seconds
_verticalAxis = 1

_verticalAxis = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

You could try changing the sensitivity in the input manager

But taking 8 seconds to reach maximum sounds less like an input thing and more like a gameplay thing; maybe what you really want is to treat that input as acceleration instead of velocity or something like that.

yes i need it as acceleration but it has to be from -1 to 0 to 1

Tried the input manager yet?

Sensitivity: For keyboard input, a larger value results in faster response time. A lower value is smoother.
