Disable mouse acceleration IPad Logitech i345 (and scroll inconsistency)

I just got an iPad with a Logitech keyboard and mouse. I have used the mouse and there is horrible acceleration that I want to get rid of. I see to go into accessibility and disable “trackpad inertia” but that is not an available option for me. The scrolling also seems to have some sort of acceleration. When I scroll a little bit its really slow, but if I keep scrolling, even if I don’t increase the speed, it starts jumping down the page super quickly. I want to disable both. How would I go about doing so? Thanks!

There is no option for inertia in those settings that you described. Why is it not there?

Greetings, HoneyBajjar!


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! That's a great question you have about disabling mouse acceleration and trackpad inertia. You may find that the option to disable Trackpad Inertia will accomplish what you're looking for. This option can be found under Settings > Accessibility > Pointer Control.


We also suggest checking out the options available in this article to Use a Bluetooth mouse or trackpad with your iPad:


"Adjust trackpad settings

To change how your Bluetooth trackpad works, go to Settings > General > Trackpad. On the screen that appears, you can adjust these settings:

  • To adjust how quickly the pointer moves when you use the trackpad, drag the Tracking Speed slider.
  • To make content track the movement of your fingers when you scroll, turn on Natural Scrolling.
  • To make a tap on the trackpad register as a click, turn on Tap to Click.
  • To have a two-finger click or tap behave as a secondary click, turn on Two Finger Secondary Click. 

In iPadOS, a secondary trackpad click acts like a long press on the iPad touchscreen, or a Control-click (or right-click) on a Mac. For example, when you use a secondary trackpad click on an iPad app icon, its contextual menu appears.

You can also perform a secondary click on iPad with any pointing device by holding the Control key as you click.


Adjust mouse settings

To change how your Bluetooth mouse works, go to Settings > General > Trackpad & Mouse. On the screen that appears, you can adjust these settings:

  • To adjust how quickly the pointer moves when you use the mouse, drag the Tracking Speed slider.
  • To make content track the movement of your fingers when you scroll, turn on Natural Scrolling.

With a mouse, you can also choose a behavior for a secondary click. In iPadOS, a secondary click acts like a long press on the iPad touchscreen, or a Control-click (or right-click) on a Mac. For example, when you use a secondary mouse click on an iPad app icon, its contextual menu appears.

Select Secondary Click, then choose whether you want a secondary click to happen when you click on the left or right side of your mouse, or not at all. You can also perform a secondary click on iPad with any pointing device by holding the Control key as you click."


Have a super day!
