Then, either click open with App Center (or Ubuntu Software) and install, or press Ctrl+Alt+T to open terminal and run command to install:<\/p>\n
sudo apt install ~\/Downloads\/wayland-scroll-factor*.deb<\/pre>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ubuntuhandbook.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/install-wsfdeb-700x414.webp\")
<\/p>\n
After installed the application, launch it from either by searching in GNOME overview or app grid.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Then, it’s highly recommended to enable GNOME preload<\/b> option, and log out and back in<\/b>. After that, the touchpad scroll speed will change immediately after you made a change!<\/p>\nPer App Basis Touchpad Scroll Speed Control<\/h3>\n
The two-finger scrolling is uncontrollably fast in Firefox and Chrome, but slow down the global scroll speed causing GTK4 apps (such as Nautilus and Ptyxis terminal) scroll too slowly. In the case, you may use an extension to adjust scroll speed on per app basis<\/b>.<\/p>\n
1. First, you need to have Wayland Scroll Factor<\/strong> installed. Then, enable it (if not) via wsf enable<\/code>.<\/p>\n2. Then, search and install “Extension Manager” in App Center (filter via Debian Package) or Ubuntu Software.<\/p>\n
3. Launch “Extension Manager”, navigate to Browse<\/i> tab, search & install “Touchpad Speed Control” extension.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
NOTE: The extension so far supports GNOME 46 ~ 50, meaning you need at least Ubuntu 24.04<\/b>.<\/p>\n
4. After installed the extension, switch back to “Installed” tab in “Extension Manager”, and click on the gear icon for that extension to open the preferences dialog.<\/p>\n
Finally, navigate to Vertical or Horizontal tab, browse or search for the target application, then adjust its touch scroll speed individually.<\/p>\n
