    Hi peeps,
    Searched on this but no luck:
    On the Trackpoint, I'd like to have it scroll down/up faster when I hold the middle button and push the nub back. The default scroll speed is too slow imho. However, when I change the scroll speed under mouse settings to increase the number of lines per "mouse wheel click" from 3 to say 6, nothing changes.

    Is there a setting to increase the scroll speed for trackpoint scrolling?

    TIA!

    Have you install the UltraNav Driver and Utility? If not, install it and there will options for the Trackpoint.

    I do have the Ultranav driver and utilities installed, but I can't find any settings that pertain to scroll speed.

    The only relevant option I see under Trackpoint is Touchpoint sensitivity (firm or light touch), but that doesn't seem to affect scrolling speed :(

    I don't think you would enjoy scrolling more than one line at a time, it's pretty erratic when I try to do it my simulated trackpad scroll. Just put more pressure on the trackpoint to make it go faster. But if you really need this a work around could be this.

    Scrolling this way will actually be dependent on the setting you mentioned in your original post (which I have set to 1 because 3 was ridiculous).
