    I’m not sure of the proper way to do it in KDE Wayland, but I’ve resorted to a hack to make it work in GNOME Wayland (and it works in KDE too).

    Hey OP, as you found out you need button scrolling in libinput for it to make it work on Wayland, for mice the option is present but not enabled by default (as it is for trackpoints). However GNOME doesn't expose this option in their settings, so I resorted to a hack to make it work in the meantime GNOME developers implement it. Here's a fully detailed answer I wrote a few days ago. I personally tested this and it works as you'd expect.

    If you are doing this on Wayland and want to enable this on middle click press use force right-click-scroll, and change the 17 line from button 273 to 1, like so: libinput_device_config_scroll_set_button(device, 1);
