Windows 10: Adjust Synaptics Two-Fingers Scroll Speed in Windows 11

Hi, how do we perform the subject action?

Synaptics touchpad V1.2 - no option for one-finger scrolling?


Hello,

I recently bought a Lenovo Y700 running W10. I am trying to get it set up the way I like and cannot find an option to use one-finger scrolling with my touchpad (two-finger scrolling is an option and works just fine).

I am updated to driver 19.0.19.1, but for some reason when I go to Mouse Properties it lists the driver version as 19.0.17.26. I'm not sure if this is related. Here are some screen caps of the driver discrepancy as well as the UI for the mouse, which has no option for one-finger scrolling. How do I enable this?











Thanks for any advice you can give me!

 

Two finger mouse pad scroll speed increase.

When you use two fingers, the system basically interprets it the same as if you had used a mouse with a scroll wheel.

So in this case, you can open your Mouse Properties and adjust the scrolling speed for that scroll wheel, and it will affect your speed when using two fingers also.

One quick way to reach those options is to do this:

1) Right-click Start button and choose Run

2) Type main.cpl and click OK

3) Go to the Wheel tab at the top and adjust the speed.

If the company that built your laptop included more touchpad software than just the basics, you might also be able to adjust those options in the touchpad-specific options. Those are sometimes integrated into the same mouse properties you open with the 3
steps above, but it can also be in a totally separate app provided by the manufacturer.

You can also adjust your scrolling speed from the Settings app:

1) Open Settings app, click Devices

2) Choose Mouse

3) Adjust the scrolling speed.
