If you’re an avid Mac user and find inertia scrolling frustrating, you’ll be pleased to know that you can turn it off. Inertia scrolling is the feature that continues the scrolling momentum after you’ve stopped swiping on your trackpad or mouse. Some users prefer a more traditional scrolling experience without this added momentum. Here’s how you can disable inertia scrolling on your Mac:
- Go to System Preferences: Click on the Apple logo on the top-left corner of your screen and select “System Preferences.”
- Access Accessibility: In the System Preferences window, look for the “Accessibility” option and click on it.
- Choose Mouse & Trackpad: In the Accessibility menu, select “Mouse & Trackpad” from the sidebar.
- Disable Inertia Scrolling: Look for the “Scrolling” options and uncheck the box next to “Scrolling – Inertia.”
- Adjust Scrolling Settings: You can further customize your scrolling experience by adjusting the scroll speed and direction according to your preference.
- Close System Preferences: Once you’ve disabled inertia scrolling or made any other scrolling adjustments, you can close the System Preferences window.
By following these simple steps, you can easily turn off inertia scrolling on your Mac and tailor the scrolling behavior to suit your needs. Whether you prefer a more controlled scrolling experience or want to experiment with different settings, customizing your scrolling preferences can enhance your overall user experience on a Mac.
