2020 M1 MACBOOK PRO TRACKPAD SCROLLING ISSUE (LAGS) 13" M1 MacBook Pro Trackpad does not scroll smoothly or as fast as my older MacBook Pros. Trackpad scrolling extremely LAGS in all windows, including Safari and Logic Pro Tried using older Apple USB Mouse NO PROBLEM, scrolling works just fine, as anticipated. The same Trackpad Scrolling Issue has persisted since Big Sur and now in Monterey macOS. Using an Apple External Trackpad does not fix the Trackpad Scrolling issue, still lags. Turned Off all Trackpad features and restarted M! MacBook Pro, Trackpad issue persists after restart and resetting my Trackpad Preferences. . Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. srfella

2022 and the choppy scroll on MBP M1 chip is still here ! I have MBP M1 2020. I have this issue by the time, choppy scrolling. and after the latest update 12.1 the Mac freezes from time to time even while using a very basic workspace like just WhatsApp and safari with 3 tabs open for example, the mouse frees in colored circle for 6 to 10 seconds. The scrolling thing becomes a real nightmare with 12.1 for example when you scroll in safari to the end of the page, gotta wait for seconds to scroll back to the top...
