When I change my laptop's brightness using the brightness keys, it changes them in 5% increments. I would like to reduce this.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Have you looked at the global hotkeys? At least for volume it shows separate ones to use 1% increments.

It does show those for brightness for me, too:

Thanks, I was looking for a solution for that, too. ๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks a ton. This picture really makes it clear.

I don't know off hand, but you did remind me of this post about how hard the problem of setting brightness can be.
