    Hi!
    I wonder if anybody has the same issues, i describe below. (xps15 9550 in my case)
    I am using the standard windows 10 driver, i haven't tried yet to exchange it because of the perfect scrolling in edge. What are your experiences, which drivers do you use and what settings are you using?

    Windows Explorer:
    Perfect scrolling/zooming with the touchpad in the explorer except of the left side with bookmarks and so on, there it is laggy?! Everything fine with the mouse

    Edge:
    Absolutely perfect and phenomenal touchpad scrolling and zooming expierence like on a macbook, with the mouse it bounces a bit too much.

    Chrome:
    Very ugly scrolling and zooming performance with the touchpad, perfect experience with the mouse

    Adobe Lightroom in gallery view or lupe mode:
    Ugly scrolling, only working when doing a mouseover to the sidebar, zooming very laggy.
    Everything perfect with the mouse.

    Device Manager:
    Slow scrolling with the touchpad.

    I find everything ok, you get used to it. Chrome has smooth scrolling as an option, type chrome://flags into the address bar and search for smooth scrolling.
