Common questions
Why does Silk Scroll need two permissions?
macOS separates permission to receive global input from permission to post replacement events. Silk Scroll needs both to transform a wheel step without reading files or contacting a server.
Does it change my trackpad?
No. Trackpad and Magic Mouse gestures include native phases and pass through unchanged.
My mouse wheel feels too fast.
Turn off smooth scrolling in any other mouse utility so only one app transforms each wheel event. This includes the Smooth Scrolling option in Logi Options+.
The menu bar icon shows a warning.
Open Privacy Settings from the Silk Scroll menu. Enable the missing permission, return to Silk Scroll, and switch Smooth Scrolling off and on once.
