I have the latest MacBook Pro running the latest version of OS X and I am using the corded mouse.   The horizontal scroll speed using the mouse wheel is dead slow. The vertical scroll speed is OK for scrolling regular websites, etc., but when I try to scroll something like a Trello board, the horizontal scroll speed is unbearable and I have to tilt the mouse wheel multiple times to get from one card to the other.  Is there a way to increase the horizontal scroll speed, or am I stuck with a single speed for both axes?  Hacking system files or config files is OK with me if that's what it takes!
I have recently bought a Logitech M510 as my main mouse switching over from a magic mouse. I didn't realize missing horizontal scrolling would be such an issue, but apparently it is.   Now a mac does support horizontal scrolling by holding shift + scrolling, this is however amazingly slow.   I have the Logitech Control Center installed, which offers a few extra options, but nothing regarding the horizontal scroll speed. The scrolling speed options offered there only affect vertical scrolling.    Can the vertical speed be one setting and the horizontal speed another?
It is a general concept that horizontal forces can only influence physical quantities along horizontal direction; similarly vertical force can produce acceleration etc. only along vertical direction. This is the same concept that helps us study projectile motion as a combination of two independent motions. If this relation is universally true, how come, then friction depend on a force which normal to it?
