As I age, this x1000. Even simple slack app on my windows laptop - clicking in the overview scroll bar is NOT "move down a page". It seems to be "the longer you click, the further it moves" or something equally disgusting. Usually, I dock my laptop and use an external mouse with wheel, and it's easy to do what I want. With a touchpad? Forget it.. I'm clicking 20x to get it to move to the top - IF I can hit the 5-pixel-wide scrollbar. There's no easy way to increase scrollbar size anymore either..
It's like dark patterns are the ONLY pattern these days.. WTF did we go wrong?
- BobbyTables2 1y agoIndeed. Win95 was peak UI design. I don’t understand modern trends.
- fragmede 1y agoWith a touchpad? Use two fingers to scroll (also works horizontally). Who's managing to hit a tiny scrollbar that disappears with a touchpad‽
- mjevans 1y agoThey just aren't as good at detecting real physical contact as a nice physical mouse is at responding to movement and pressure.
- fragmede 1y agoI mean, maybe but the question wasn't what is the superior general pointing device (trackball ftw if you ask me) though, but how to scroll using a trackpad without tearing your hair out.
