How is the middle click (scroll wheel) on this mouse? Stiff? Light? Is it easy to click without accidentally scrolling at the same time?

The middle click is solid. It's wont accidentally click while scrolling. It's not stiff either. It's feels really good. I should tell you though that if you are using Ubuntu you will need to remap the buttons i.e. sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf as the Windows button mapping won't work out of the box for Linux.

The wheel is grooved and the mouse itself is heavy, so it's easy to press the wheel without scrolling or moving the pointer. It gives very little resistance when rolling, just enough that you can feel the grooves; and the wheel won't spin on its own if you flick it.

I really can't answer, since I use it on a Mac, which doesn't use middle click. Nice mouse though - very comfortable in the hand and easy to click.

i'd say soft click, but am no expert. for the price i think it's worth finding out what kind of click it is - you won't be disappointed!

Click, click, click! :)I like it because it scrolls smoothly while giving you lots of control with the scrolling. Personal preference.

Scrolling feels pretty smooth to me. There is some friction but its scrolling is smoother than the Kensington expert that I got a few years ago where you can feel bumps as you scroll.

The scroll wheel has a number of functions: 1. Rotate wheel to scroll up-down - works fine 2. Moving the wheel left/right (clicks left/right) to scroll left/right - works fine 3. Pressing down (click down) - this is the tricky operation because if you don't press directly downwards there is a good chance you will inadvertently activate the left/right scroll feature. The required down force is also somewhat more than the needed for the other buttons. I think that this is the nature of this mouse.

old post but it does have clicks between each scroll both thumb and normal scrolls do and the normal scroll middle click is a little harder then a standard mouse but i like it its not to hard to press but enough to prevent accidental hitting of the button when scrolling.

Thanks for your response. I went ahead and got the Logitech and am happy with it, once I adjusted the speed of the cursor. I have a very light touch.

Yes - but it is very easy to scroll when you are trying to click. If you use the middle button heavily this mouse is not a good choice.

You can remap the button below the scroll wheel to do about anything. I find it nice to have the separate "middle button" that isn't dependent on my trying to balance the scroll wheel to click.

It's neither the quietest nor the loudest mouse I've used in the last year. The scroll is quiet but barely audible, but clicking is a bit louder. Personally I don't think it's bad form to use a typical mouse in the library but if you're looking for a silent click, this mouse doesn't have it.

You glide your middle finger over it the ball to scroll. It has a consistent, smooth glide. I love my mouse. It has helped my carpal tunnel bc Im not using my pointer finger to click anymore. hope this helps. :)

No, the scroll wheel locks and the scroll is quite tight. I use the scroll wheel as an additional button because it won't inadvertently scroll or move around. It is sturdy.

More of a semi smooth. . it's pretty effortless, but there's that knobbiness to it. It's a good medium. Great mouse though, especially for the cost. Love the solid clicks. I loved it so much, I bought another one.

This mouse doesn't have a middle mouse button. Unfortunately, the best alternative available is using set-point to configure the button behind the wheel as scroll wheel click.

Its perfect, no flaws except, the click sometimes doesn't work (very rarely) but that is probably from bad treatment of the mouse. I have had this mouse for a while and seriously enjoy it and recommend it.

the mouse is shaped for right hand use, and there is a couple of long buttons that you need the thumb to press them (I'm right handed and never use them) I tested it with the left hand and if you are going to scroll and use right and left click buttons it's fine, not a deal breaker if you need a silent mouse which it's great. hope that helps
