The and features a new glass-finished trackpad that is easily the best feeling one to date for a Windows PC. However, there is one issue that many users notice when using Firefox or Chrome for web browsing: lag. Specifically, when you drag your finger, there is a half second delay before the web page moves. It is a rather frustrating and seemingly random experience and while doing browser tricks helps it does not solve the problem. Tonight, there looks to be a way to get smooth scrolling throughout the OS, and it is a simple fix.
Press the hyphen key -- also known as the minus key (-) -- while holding down the other key(s) to zoom out. Hold the Control key on a Mac and scroll up or down using the mouse wheel to zoom in and out, if you prefer. On Mac OS X 10.9 (and possibly 10.7 and 10.8), I find it easiest to search for the word “zoom” inside of the System Preferences dialog, then go to the Accessibilities option that lets you click the checkbox that needs to be clicked.

The two-finger pinch to zoom from the precision touchpad. The fix was suggested by giftedmd in our forums.
They speculate that the OS is taking a half second to see if you are trying to pinch to zoom or scroll and that creates the lag. I have tried this fix on both the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book and saw an immediate change in scrolling behavior across the OS but specifically in Chrome and Firefox. Needless to say, it is a breath of fresh air especially for those who are experiencing this behavior.
Here is how to fix it. Disable two-finger pinch to zoom 1. Search Type in Mouse & Touchpad into the Cortana search bar (Also, for Pro 4 users, make sure your Type cover is attached first).
