Very slow mouse scrolling speeds after Sierra

Hello, I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing strange slow scrolling speeds when using a non-mac mouse? I own both a wired Razer Naga Epic gaming mouse and a Logitech standard wired mouse and both are experiencing very slow scroll speeds when using Pages, MS Word, Onenote, and even is Safari. I currently have the scroll settings at max and am still having issues. It often takes 20 scrolls to get to the bottom of a page. Safari works a bit better than other programs but at the max setting it should be much faster.


Anyone else having this problem?

MacBook Air, iOS 10.1

Here's what I've observed. I have a Logitech USB mouse. After a certain number of times connecting / disconnecting the mouse (connected to my Macbook Pro through a USB hub attached to a USB-A to USB-C adapter), the scroll wheel switches to one-line scrolling (very slow) instead of three-line scrolling (normal).


If I take the USB mouse and move it to a different USB port on my USB hub, macOS detects the mouse as a new device and the problem is temporarily fixed, but inevitably recurs again. Now, I've run out of new ports on my USB hub.


In a Windows environment, I would just remove and reinstall the device, which would likely resolve the issue. I'll post back here if I make any progress on solving this.

I have a very similar problem since the Sierra update. My mouse scroll wheel doesn't work at very slow speeds, so doing fine control in apps like Photoshop (zooming in and out for example) is very difficult.


This is happening with different brand mice on two separate computers, in all applications, so I'm pretty sure it's the Sierra update.


Has anyone figured out the solution?
