All iPads Mouse wheel scrolling behaviour on IPadOS 13.4

Also, Apple could make a new version of the Magic Mouse that supports switching between iCloud devices, like AirPods.

At least have every Bluetooth accessory be capable of handling pairing with multiple devices. My Logitech keyboards do that for what, a decade now?

For the price they charge, heck yeah!

I had read on another forum that there is a fix coming for our janky scrolling in the next update, and what do you figure...longest interval between updates since they introduced ipados13!

Well, this is sure incentive for people to buy up as much stock of MT2 and MM2 and MK, and then and only then will they drop the next update.

Given up on third-party mice as they’re all pants in the scrolling department. Sticking with Magic Mouse 2 which is smoother than butter in a silk dress.

13.5 is GM now...wait is almost over and then we can see if 3rd party scrolling is finally fixed. Shouldn’t be this hard, its like pulling teeth with Apple sometimes

So I have been complaining that the scrolling with my Bluetooth Logitech G603 mouse is really slow on my iPad Pro. Well just today I realized that there are settings for this in Accessibility/Pointer control. Apparently my setting was done to kind of being slow. I now changed it to the fastest available and it is far better for sure.

I am on iPadOS 13.4.1 btw. I have not upgraded to 13.5 version but I also do not see in the release notes for this version anything about fixing mouse scrolling bugs.

Same here! I am trying the MX Master 3 on 13.5 and while it does seem better, it’s still not as good as the Magic Mouse 2. The MX is certainly more comfortable but I am going to be taking it back to Best Buy and get my $100 back. My MM2‘s battery is starting to fade a bit, I guess I will grab another one of those if need be.

I loaded 13.5 and don't see a difference with my Logitech MX Master 3. I had set scrolling to fastest already and while not as fluid as the Trackpad 2, I wouldn't call it bad.

Yeah, exactly. I was like Duh. Total WTF on my part and WTH with myself. Mouse scrolling is still a bit weird to me because if I understood correctly Microsoft and Apple follow different logic. Like on Windows you scroll down to see the page moving down and vice versa. It is the opposite on Macs and apparently on the iPads. So this is weird to me but the speed now is actually quite good. A bit worse comparing to how the same mouse behaves on my laptop through USB dongle but it is not that noticeable. It is like milliseconds.

It's not on you, it's on Apple for their implementation that has settings scattered everywhere. And it's not just the mouse, why is Auto Brightness under Accessibility and not Display and Brightness? I'm retired now but I architected Command & Control systems and Human Factors (and the customer) would go bonkers over stuff like this.

On the scrolling issue - turn off Natural Scrolling under General-> Trackpad and Mouse.

I hate iOS Settings in general. I am former BE Developer (now too busy leading 20 Developers and 6 QAs) but man if there is a thing I notice right a way is User Interface, User Experience and how usable is something. I did not do the UI development in our web app but I have always cared about the UX on all of the tasks I used to work on as DEV.

The scattered Settings on the iPad and iOS are the first thing I noticed as iOS newbie. I always forget where the Adaptive Brightness setting is. Thanks to this forum I know now where the settings for the pro motion are because why would you put those settings under Accessibility. And why do we need separate Setting tab for Wallpapers and then for Display and Brightness as it is the same - Display.

Catch my added note about scrolling? I edited my post.

Actually nope. I had missed it. Thanks for pointing this out! I had no idea about those settings either! Now it is so much better!
