I recently starting having a problem in browsers when I use the scroll wheel on my mouse. It’s a new mouse, but I can’t remember if the problem started exactly when I got this mouse. In a browser (Chrome, Firefox, IE), when I scroll using the wheel, the scrolling is delayed, kind of like when you do a swipe on an iPad to scroll. When I stop rolling the wheel the screen continues to scroll and gradually slows down, it takes about 1.5 seconds to stop. (It’s worst in Chrome.) When I am in Google Maps, and use the scroll wheel to zoom, it zooms much too fast. If I zoom out, one click will zoom out from showing my commute home to showing all of North America. The mouse is a Logitech M510. It configured to scroll 3 lines with one click of the scroll wheel. I am not having this issue in any other applications, just browsers. Chrome is the only one where it is so noticeable as to be annoying. I have “Smooth Scrolling” disabled in Chrome. ---

Never mind. I just found a Logitech utility that has smooth scrolling at the device level. When I turned it off, it solved the problem. This is not part of the Settings \> Devices \> Mouse settings, it’s a standalone app to manage the mouse. ---

Logitech is particularly famous for this crap. 99% of the time, if you don’t install Logitech’s software, the device still works just fine, and is completely (and decisively) configured by the normal OS configuration software. Other than extra-function gaming hardware, the Logitech stuff is zero added value, and bonus free aggravation as well, with the extra non-added-value poorly documented configuration stuff that seems to override the normal system ones. Thanks, Logitech. ---

Second only to HP in their desire to have their minor peripheral rule your entire PC.
