Smoother than a Mac?
You decide.

How it works

Every click of your mouse wheel tells Windows to jump the page down three lines and stop. That is the whole reason scrolling on a PC feels choppy. It is a run of small jumps rather than actual movement, and once you notice it you cannot stop noticing it.

Smoothie Scroll catches each of those clicks before the app underneath ever sees it, and turns it into motion instead. One slow click nudges the page along. Spin the wheel quickly and the clicks pile onto each other into a long glide that keeps coasting after you let go, the way a trackpad behaves on a Mac and Windows never has on its own. The slowdown at the end is timed rather than counted out in frames, so it feels the same on a basic office monitor and on a 240Hz gaming panel.

It also scrolls whatever your mouse is hovering over, not whatever you clicked on last. Park the pointer on a window sitting behind the one you are working in, spin the wheel, and that window scrolls. You never have to click into it first.

Nothing about this touches the programs you use. Smoothie Scroll installs no driver and changes nothing deep in Windows. It is one small app sitting in your tray, and closing it puts scrolling back exactly the way it was.
