Poor trackpad scrolling

[mitsuyager9]

Just got my pro3 yesterday and it's a badass machine, really liking it so far! But my one annoyance is that the type cover 3's track pad scrolling is awful. It feels like it not doing "enough" scrolling, I have to run my finger over it like 3 times more than normal to get anywhere on a webpage. I have a 2520 and the keyboard cover for that actually scrolls better than the surface. Anyone having this problem also? Know of a fix?

It is poor, I gave up and use touch screen to scroll.

Probably will just return the keyboard seems over priced

Can't you edit the scroll settings in the mouse area of control panel?

No the only options that it gives you is for a mouse wheel, which is obviously of no help. And scrolling direction.

My complaint too...there are no trackpad settings. I really want 2 or 3 finger swipe or tap to go back a web page but there's no setting for that either. Every modern laptop has trackpad settings - cannot figure out why none for the Surface 3.

Came on here to post about this as well. Does anyone know of a registry edit that can be made to adjust the speed of the touchpad when scrolling? None of the options I change anywhere on the device seem to affect the touchpad, just external mice.

There is an store app for trackpad settings, nothing advanced though

The trackpad scrolling is definitely poor. However, I have come to realize that I am using it wrong! (ok ok... cheap jab at fruit co.) I am getting used to flicking on screen and now I try to just scroll using the touch screen.

Interesting, sounding like the same issues I was having with my surface2 kb. I ended up getting a mouse for it. I'm surprised this hadn't been properly addressed with this upgrade.
