Oh wow, that’s quite a bit different. Which model of iPad? Could it be a software glitch? I hope it gets fixed for you. 🙂👍🏻

It is on a 13" M5 iPad Pro. Same thing happens on my 11" M4 iPad Pro.
On a 27" 4K monitor with M5 13", I see a bounce but amount is highly dependent on the speed of the scroll - a very fast scroll produces a larger bounce. I don't see a pause of any significance.
Interesting. Maybe it’s the mouse? Or is it consistent with any mouse you use with it? I’m using an Insignia brand (think that’s Best Buy’s brand) Bluetooth mouse.
Yeah, same here. It bounces like a quarter or a half inch at the bottom of the page on my 27” desktop monitor, and that’s the most I’ve been able to get it to do, and it’s very fast, I don’t have a 2 second pause. 👍🏻
With a very fast scroll with the wheel (Logi MX Master 3) I can easily generate at least a 6-7" bounce. Hit it really fast and it bounce half the screen height.
Maybe my cheap mouse can’t scroll as fast. I actually am wondering if that may be the reason for the difference. 👍🏻. Or I reduced scrolling speed in Settings, which I believe I do recall tweaking with that a long time ago. 👍🏻
It definitely seems to depend on how fast you are scrolling. A very slow scroll gives little bounce. A fast scroll really exaggerates it.
I have the same mouse and it does scroll fast - which I love on my Mac since it doesn't have the bounce experience. As mentioned above, it would be nice if Logitech would come out with a utility for the iPad.
The Magic Keyboard for the 13” is supposed to be $350 new from Apple. And cheaper used. But yeah, the Logitech is cheaper, and I’ve heard very positive feedback about it. Unfortunately, I can’t comment on it directly, as I’ve never used it. But I believe there are some in this thread who use it and have had favorable experiences with it. 👍🏻.
I know that’s of limited use for you since you’re probably wanting answers from people with direct experience with it, but figured it may help. I don’t have personal experience, but have heard great things about it from many who do if that makes any sense. 🙂👍🏻
I tried the Logitech keyboard case and it doesn't work well on a lap if that is important. Works great on a desk but I do use mine a fair amount on my lap so I returned it and got the Apple MKB.
I've had one but switched to the MKB. I like the smaller footprint of the MKB, that the iPad is slightly raised and brought forward, and the USB-C charging is great to have, freeing up the iPad's port.
Oh yeah, that makes a lot of sense to me. The kickstand setup works okay for some people on the lap, but I’ve seen many who don’t like it for “lapability”. 👍🏻. Also, for me, the extra charging port is well worth it, as I have used it to charge my iPad while I use a USB-C thumb drive or microSD card adapter in the iPad’s native port. 👍🏻. And with the new Magic Keyboard Case, you get the laptop-class aluminum palm rest and glass trackpad. 👍🏻
I have 11" and MKB is bit small for track pad and KB, will give the Logitech a try anyway, hard to justify 3 x the price for my minimal use with keyboard, the case and stand looks handy will use with it 90% of the time at home, mainly for when away I want a keyboard.
The Logitech is only $40 more than the apple folio case ATM.

Will have it in 2 hours so will see, for the price will just keep it anyway for when I go away, no laptop anymore.
I have the apple folio case too which is good at home but not much protection, was a freebie from apple.
