How To Change Touchpad Scroll Speed in Windows 11

Want to change how fast you can scroll using the touchpad? Here’s how you can change the touchpad scroll speed in Windows 11.

As most of you know already, you can easily change the mouse scroll speed. However, did you know that you can also change the touchpad scroll speed? If you are using a laptop with a precision touchpad, you can now change its scroll speed in the Settings app. For example, by default, the scrolling speed is set to medium speed (level 5). This is generally fine. However, it will take multiple scroll gestures to get to the bottom of a long page. In those cases, you can increase the touchpad scrolling speed. On the other hand, if you think the current scrolling speed is too high, you can just as easily reduce it.

In this quick and easy guide, I will show you how to change the touchpad scrolling speed in simple steps. Let’s get started.
