Hello, I would like to know if it's possible to simulate the scroll wheel of a mouse with a touchpad.

Thanks in advance ;)

    Hello,

    Yes, with two fingers on the touchpad, you can do the same thing as the scroll wheel, scrolling up or down.

    You just need to make sure that the touchpad drivers are properly installed, but Windows usually handles it quite well.

        Have you tried before? It doesn't work?

        If not, what is the exact model of your laptop?

      No, I haven't tried because I don't know how to do it, my PC is a Dell Vostro :)

        No, I mean try to simulate the scroll wheel with two fingers on the touchpad and then slide your fingers up or down to scroll up/down, like the left image below:

      Ah yes, of course, I tried and the mouse doesn't move when there are two fingers on the touchpad.
