## Pick a style

There are 8 scroll styles: Fine tick, Ratchet, Wheel detent, Soft tap, Bubble, Zipper, Rotary and Silent (clicks only). Match click sound uses each click sound’s own tick. Open More options in Settings → Sounds, rest on a style to hear it, then pick one.

## Set the feel

Choose a density (every notch, every 2nd or every 3rd), the Trackpad amount for trackpads and Magic Mouse, and Speed pitch if you want ticks to rise a little as you scroll faster.

## Questions

Does it work with a trackpad?

Yes. The Trackpad setting sets how much scrolling plays one tick on a trackpad or Magic Mouse.

Can I keep click sounds and turn ticks off?

Yes. Scroll Ticks has its own switch, and the Scroll chip in the Clacky menu turns it on and off.

Can I try them first?

Yes, the sounds page on this site plays them in your browser.
