friction in scrollring

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.

Scrolling is smooth. But depending on the angle of force applied it sometimes "skids" against the plastic which supports it. (Which every now and then produces a squeak.)

Allen, I use this mouse every day and I have not had a problem scrolling. One of the things you need to do on a regular basis with any roller ball mouse is periodically remove the ball and spray the inside with a can of air to clean the inside. I always have a can of pressurize spray to keep my key board and mouse clean. They are not very expensive, I usually pay $4.99 for a two can pack. It keeps your computer equipment clean and working efficiently.

Pop ball out with pencil eraser from the opposite side. Blow dust our with compressed air. Also, touch your nose a bit and rub the oil around the ball.

The button below the wheel toggles the wheel between "smooth" scrolling and "notched" scrolling. It's mechanical and is not usable as a button for computer input.

It has a button that activates the scroll. movement is made moving the mouse

The clicking is silent. The scrolling makes a little noise, probably similar to typing on a non-clicking keyboard.

Yes, but like 8.0, It is sometimes difficult to control the lateral scroll movement. It's pretty rapid. I think the vertical scroll sticks when the CPU is loaded. The mouse isn't at all perfected but is very usable. Been using for over a month and don't plan on giving it up. Much better than the scroll pad on my laptop.

You can roll the wheel to scroll but the touch is not as sensitive. To have direct touch with the wheel you could carefully cut out the circle that covers the wheel with an exacto knife.

Hi Travis -I have not noticed any choppiness when I use the scroll wheel; it seems about as smooth as the scroll wheel on the trackball mouse I had before which I believe was a Logitech.

I've never had a problem with the scroll wheel. The button that makes it a free wheeled scroll is awesome. This is the best mouse I've ever owned. I don't do any gaming so not sure how well it would work for games.

It clicks, which I find annoying. However, if one is mechanically inclined it's easy to remedy. Remove the 2 screws in the battery compartment. Pop open the mouse. Locate the spring on the side of the scroll wheel and remove it with needle nose pliers. Pop mouse back together and replace the 2 screws, enjoy scrolling as smooth as butter. WARNING: this will certainly void any warranty and YMMV. ;-)

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.

No issue with the scroll wheel. Try taking battery out and then re-inserting.

I have found it easy to use...no hard pressure...may be a little getting used to it if you have not used a ball mouse with the scroll ring

I don't click the scroll wheel much but it is a bit stiffer than other scroll wheels but I've never run into a noticeable issue.

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.

Yes, the scroll wheel does have detents or click stops as you scroll. They are very quiet and subtle feeling to the touch. Works very well. I also have a Logitech M500 on another computer. That one has a separate little button to turn the click stops off or on. The off position allows for super fast scrolling to fly up and down on a page, but will often flutter about on a page with the slightest movement of the mouse itself (meaning that you might lose your place while trying to read something). I prefer the detents or click stops. The Kensington mouse never flutters like that.
