How to make scrolling/zooming with mouse on Windows 11 behave like touchpad?

Scrolling and ctrl + trackpad up down (horizontal) zooming in in Live with the touchpad works super smoothly. However, if I want to use mouse + keyboard it's very choppy.... It uses the increments set by the mouse settings. If I set an increment of 1 in the settings, the zoom is better as it doesn't zoom too much, but then the scrolling is slow and vice-versa. This is a super annoying oversight for Windows users. Is there any way I could make the mouse scroll act more like the touchpad in any way?

Managed to reduce the ctrl + wheel speed. I had to reduce scroll speed in windows to 1 and use AutoHotkey to boost it globally, except when ctrl is pressed in Ableton Live. This is beyond annoying and honestly I don't know why it has to be so choppy for Windows users. I'm sure a more elegant solution is somewhere out there but this works for me for now.
