How to Change Scrolling Speed on a Mac
Method 1 of 2:
Changing Mouse Wheel Scrolling
- Click the Apple menu. This is in the upper-left corner of the screen.
- Click "System Preferences." If the main System Preferences menu doesn't appear, click the "Show All" button at the top of the window. This button looks like a grid of 12 dots.
- Click the "Mouse" option.
- Click and drag the "Scrolling speed" slider. This will adjust the scrolling speed for your mouse wheel.
- If your mouse doesn't have a wheel, you won't see this option.[1]
Method 2 of 2:
Changing Trackpad Scrolling
- Click the Apple menu. You'll find this in the upper-left corner of the screen.
- Click "System Preferences." If a window other than the main System Preferences window appears, click the "Show All" button at the top. The icon has 12 dots arranged in a grid.
- Click the "Accessibility" option.
- Click "Mouse & Trackpad." You may have to scroll down on the left frame to find it.
- Click the "Trackpad Options" button. This will display your trackpad scrolling options in a new window.
- Click and drag the "Scrolling speed" slider. A slower scrolling speed will require you to drag farther on the pad to scroll.
- Click the "with inertia" menu to change acceleration. This allows you to set whether the scrolling speeds up as you accelerate your fingers, or if it scrolls at a constant rate.[2]
