    So yea as the title says how to make the scrolling better on the touch pad?

    The multitouch button thing is somewhat annoying but I can remind myself not to mess up, but the scrolling is killing me, it always like stuck or didnt detect im scrolling. Most time when im not using a mouse im reading something so scrolling is the most function i use and it is getting more and more annoying. I have to make sure my two finger land on the touch pad exactly the same time to make scrolling work.

    I too have been tweaking this since getting my envy. Love the machine, still getting used to the touchpad. I use scrolling a lot as well. So far for me I have turned off all two finger scrolling and only use one finger scrolling. Turning on ChiralMotion scrolling helped even though I use the vertical scrolling region.
    other settings
    Increased scrolling speed
    Pinch zoom off
    rotating off
    Tap and drag off
    Application gestures off

    Just found advanced filters under the palm check so I will test those setting now.

    Can you guys try the arrow keys to scroll in any decision? But anyway, I understand your point, it should just work.

    Btw I tried setting the click pad device thing and it worked!

    I disabled the 2 finger scrolling and used 1 finger scrolling with circle motion. And widened the scrolling area and now it works like a charm!

    now everything about this computer is perfect except some minimal issues.
