I always found touchpads on Linux to be quite okay, mice on the other hand… For example, I find scrolling with mice in most browsers on Linux unbearably slow compared to other systems, and there’s no option to speed it up, and overall a lack of customization options when it comes to mice. I’m starting to wonder whether Linux developers don’t use mice, or if there’s something wrong with me or my setup, because I rarely hear about it. And as stupid as it sounds, being able to scroll properly is probably the #1 thing keeping me off Linux desktop right now.
- proxycon 5y agopersonally i've got a logitech mx master mouse, it has the logitech hyperscroll technology. Quite wonderfull to use on linux.
- aetherspawn 5y agoA lot of apps don't interact well with Hyperscroll at all, and when it sends the "1 pixel" scroll event continuously every 10ms, they'll either keep scrolling for days after the wheel stops spinning or scroll like 1000 lines when you only moved it half a rotation.
- depressedpanda 5y agoI've never thought about this, but you're actually correct - normal scrolling really is quite slow. There are two reasons this has never bothered me though: 1. I always install Vimium in order to avoid using the mouse when browsing the web. (So in that regard your statement above is correct :-) ) 2. For fast scrolling with the mouse, you could try enabling autoscroll in Firefox; once enabled middle click will activate it, then the page will scroll based on the direction and distance you move the mouse from the scroll anchor.
