This data is processed by our driver and translated into mouse scroll events to emulate real scroll wheel(s). That was internet modem speed back in the 90's. There are about 20 touch reports per second for a maximum of 6 fingers, which is about 1.8 kByte or 14 kBit per second.

Adjust that swipe trigger distance with the Sense slider to make swiping easier or to avoid accidental scrolling.It may happen that you like to scroll but start to fast and trigger a swipe instead. Actually you need to flick your finger(s). A swipe is triggered only if the distance between touch reports was far enough. Now touch the surface and move your finger(s) fast and lift them again. Adjust that threshold distance with the Sense slider to avoid accidental scrolling.If this happens to you, lift all fingers to turn scrolling off. It may happen that you rest your fingers on the mouse surface and move them unintentionally.If it's more than the threshold distance the driver turns on scroll mode. Now scroll as fast as you like, scroll-mode stays active as long as you lift all fingers. If you touch the Magic Mouse surface with one or two fingers and move your finger(s) slowly an accumulated threshold distance over time, our driver switches to scroll-mode. Long story short: To scroll start slow, to swipe act fast.
