Scrolling issue

When on the host computer and scroll on the target, the scroll seems to be multiplied. E.g. when i scroll down 1 click of the ouse wheel, it seems to scroll down multiple times. Any ideas how to stop this?

Thanks

I’m guessing it’s a key repeat issue where it isn’t being throttled so it amplifies

Is there anything that can be done to prevent this happeneing? Its a little frustrating not being able to use scroll as it jumps down multiple pages.

Thanks

I’d say use PgUp/PgDn but those keys are rare anymore, search for an issue on GitHub in the client you are using otherwise report a new one

I am using the Openterface Mini-KVM client and it effect all applications funning on the KVM

yeah, because instead of a USB keyboard and mouse it is relaying keystrokes via serial through a limited bandwidth link and it tries to send them all in order so if you scroll a bunch it gets backed up, PiKVM has a slow link mode that greatly reduces the typing rate to try and avoid repeated key presses getting stuck

The problem is the hid chip multiple the scrolling, actually we did something to make it scroll smoothly, maybe the logic broken after some refactoring, @shwan pls fix it

hello,@Evoss
We’re excited to announce that a new version will soon be available, and updates will be shared via Discord. For now, we’re aiming to keep the app fully offline, without requiring an internet connection.

I’ve been working on resolving the serial port issues over the past week, and I’m happy to report that we’re now in the final stages of this process. After three days of rigorous testing, the serial ports for the keyboard and mouse are now more stable than ever. Additionally, I’ve improved the functionality for restoring HID devices to their factory settings. A new version addressing these improvements will be released later this week.

We’re aware of the scroll wheel issue, and while we’re already investigating it, the best way to ensure it’s properly tracked and resolved is to create an issue on our GitHub page: Issues · TechxArtisanStudio/Openterface_MacOS · GitHub . This helps us manage and prioritize problems more effectively (and ensures nothing gets overlooked). Our plan is to address several issues next week, including the scroll wheel problem, and release another update shortly after.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Your experience matters to us, and we’re committed to continuously improving the app. If you encounter any other issues or have suggestions, please don’t hesitate to let us know—we’re always here to listen and help!
