Improved Magic Mouse 1 & 2 scrolling support merged into 5.15 #12

Just wanted to note this recent addition to Kernel 5.15. The magic mice should scroll more smoothly and at higher resolution. The change also adds a movement threshold.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hid/hid.git/patch/?id=56e7b4940ba678b498a6156086f7823d86bf74ad

Perhaps this, and the fact general support is in 5.13 (#8) should be mentioned in the readme? Most users are probably fine with 5.13+ or 5.15.

Hey, thank you for the report. I will pull these improvements into this drive so that everyone can make use of high-resolution scrolling without needing 5.15.

Yet, I believe the way the mouse driver is implemented should be different and I am taking some time to study libinput and how we can have a better mouse experience. (possibly including 2 finger gestures for example).

Also, High-Resolution Scrolling is still unavailable for any device without the new works under Wayland.

It might be helpful to contact the author of the patches, as they seem to also be the one who created Touchégg.

Also it looks like José is working on merging high resolution scrolling support into libinput!

Thank you for the info.

It looks like the basic scrolling for Magicmouse is going in the right direction. Let's hope it'll be in the next releases of Ubuntu! 🤞🤞🤞
