Hmm, in that case there's nothing from which Emacs can identify it as a
mouse.  I suggest configuring pixel-scroll-precision-large-scroll-height
to a suitable value, as we recommend users do in similar situations.

As for the reason this is not set by default, there is no
one-size-fits-all value for the variable that is guaranteed not to
classify events produced by touchpads as mouse events and lead to
Emacs's interpolating them erroneously, which would upset most users,
who enable pixel-scroll-precision-mode for touchpads only.
