Annoyingly slow scroll speed on trackpad

[emilyyyylime]

Describe the bug On Kitty, swiping my fingers along my entire trackpad scrolls around 10 lines, while on other software I can scroll a full page using only about one third of the trackpad's height.

Sway input config

input "type:touchpad" {
    # General configuration
    accel_profile adaptive
    click_method clickfinger
    tap enabled
    drag enabled
    # Scroll speed factor, for some reason is very high by default
    scroll_factor 0.3
}

The small scroll factor feels natural on my setup for all applications except Kitty.
