when you use the wheel, does the data in the window scroll smoothly or in steps (line at at time)

I think all mice snap to each line to some extint. The motion is fairly smooth however. So the answer is yes but in smooth increments.

The scroll wheel on this mouse spins in increments. It is not totally smooth. Honestly I like it that way as it generally translates to one line at a time when doing slow scrolling. Faster scrolling generally accelerates the rate at which a page moves up and down. I don't know that all of that is controlled by the mouse though. Much of that is probably the scrolling controls for whatever operating system and program (e.g. smooth scrolling in IE or Firefox) as opposed to how this particular mouse works.

It depends on the speed at which you scroll. Scrolling at a very slow pace will cause it to move in steps, while scrolling at a more moderate to fast speed will cause it to scroll smoothly.

My experience is that it scrolls as smoothly as you scroll the wheel. Generally works quite smoothly for me.

If you've installed the software on the CD, go to Start &gt; All Programs &gt; Logitech &gt; Mouse and Keyboard &gt; Mouse and Keyboard Settings. With the options window that opens up, choose AutoScroll for the left small button. Then choose Apply, and then OK to close that window. Now, when you click that small left button, a little scroll symbol should appear to indicate that autoscrolling's turned on. Now, by slowly or quickly rolling the trackball, the screen should slowly or quickly scroll. You get very precise control this way; play around a bit and you will see. Once its scrolling you can change the speed by moving the ball in the reverse direction a bit. Can even stop it from scrolling this way. Can get it to scroll so slowly that you can read a text as it slowly reveals more text below. Can scroll left and right as well as up and down. Etc. To go back to a clicking mouse just click once on the left button. Now click on whatever you want. Nice.

I have not experienced that. I have seen that in the past with older PCs/laptops where the system was so bogged down that typing and mouse movements were delayed. I'm typing with it now and everything is "live" and in synch.

Hi, Sam,Both the Explorer and the Explorer mini have a smooth scroll wheel. Technically that's called "detent" or "non-detent", though I also think of them as "crunchy" and "smooth." :-) The new Arc mouse has a detent wheel. Cathy, Microsoft Hardware Documentation team

The slow version moves very little, just enough for most system to realize that there's movement and it doesn't really impact normal use. You can see the cursor jerk back and forth by just a few pixels when you're watching it. The fast version moves a lot and makes it very difficult to use the computer when the jiggler is active, but some systems need the extra movement.

No. It moves when you use the mouse function, and stops dead when you let go. Pretty impressive as air mouse, imho.

It will scroll. It scrolls at a good speed too. For instance, if it's at '1' and I press and hold down 'UP', it will be at 50 in roughly five seconds. When it reaches '200' it will automatically return to '1' and continue scrolling.

It's easy to get used to using the scroll wheel. I've used mine so much I find it easier than other methods. The scrolling is very smooth as well.

I have expereienced very smooth cursor movement over the past 8+ months of use. The wheel does not scroll side to side.

Nope. The mouse wheel is quite stiff, in a solid feeling way. it does not spin freely.

Yes the scroll wheel has a "bump" left or right function as indicated by the arrows to either side of the scroll wheel. This "button" action can be programmed to a number of functions, including "back" for one direction and "forwards" for the other.

I have absolutely no problem scrolling with this mouse best I ever had just use the wheel at the top of the mouse to move up or down. Make sure you have a mouse pad that is recommended for the mouse and you are good to go

I have two of these lovely units and have never had a problem with the scroll wheel. Occasionally the ball needs cleaning, as does the socket in which it sits, but that doesn't happen very often. I like these mice so much more than the kind you have to slide around that I'll put up with almost any minor annoyance! Overall, I would rate these as 4.5 out of 5 stars. Really nice units.

Every once in a while the mouse will "wander" or "drift". It's correctable by unplugging it then re-plugging it in to the USB port. I've not noticed any problems specifically with the scroll wheel. I've also never mapped any of the other buttons, so I can't say how well they work.

Yes. You can left-click, right-click, scroll with the wheel, AND, yes, click with the wheel..

It's a clicker, but it's a very loose click. There are gradations in the wheel, but it's still very easy to scroll with little actual force.

Yes it does. The scroll wheel tilts for side to side scrolling. It can precision scroll and has a fast spinning scroll. Allows flipping between webpages and applications. Some of these features require Logitech software which can be downloaded from the Logitech website for free.
