the wheel doesn't scroll. Is there a way to turn this on/off?

If it used to, but doesn't, its probably broken and does it matter if on or off? If it never has, it is probably set up wrong. For apple, download free E version of "The Missing Manual" for your OS version (10.7 on) and worm your way to how to set up buttons, you can get all 5 to work

It clicks. Not does it have an option for a flywheel mode. My new mouse does, and I've found it come in handy quite often.

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

It physically clicks. Scrolling is also a little iffy. I've wished for a wheel at times.

The scroll wheel doesn't spin freely. It "clicks" or "ratchets" into the next position on the wheel, but it does so extremely smoothly. I have very little issue with either kind of mouse you have referred to, but I haven't felt much of a difference between this and a free spinner if you will. You may have stronger feelings on the matter, of course.

The wheel can control left and right movement. If you hold it to the right, the pointer changes, and then you can move the screen left/right and up/down.The wheel does not have an audible click, but there is a slight "bump" (Can't think of a good word to describe it) to let you know that you are scrolling the wheel.

I have this mouse and the wheel does not turn smoothly but has slight stopping clicks. This scroll wheel in my experience is garbage. Trying to scroll to read and it constantly jumps up and down only to return to the same position no matter how may spins and clicks. Only way to scroll is very slowly and deliberately. Make me want to throw into a wall.

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.

There is no real wheel. However, if you move your finger on the mouse, it will mimic the wheel function. Similar to touch pad. I like the mouse.

Yes, The wheel is the fifth button, press down on the wheel and the browser goes back to the last screen. This is default. You can program that and the 2 side buttons to almost what you need.

That's a Windows thing as far as I know. I don't have this mouse anymore, but if I recall correctly, the scroll wheel of that mouse isn't a button.

Well, I think so. The small left click button I believe will turn it on and off. I never did use it to scroll while I had mine hooked up. I don't think it is worth the price it is fetching now, but I will say it is the very best mouse I have ever used, for comfort and precision and speed. I am using the Logitech Marble and it is ok but not as good as the FX.

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.

The scroll wheel has a number of functions:1. Rotate wheel to scroll up-down - works fine2. Moving the wheel left/right (clicks left/right) to scroll left/right - works fine3. 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.

The question needs to be defined. Are you seeking to "Mute Audio" to the scroll wheel? That is very confusing since scroll down would mute audio and scroll up would enable audio. Audio would be turning on and off almost constantly.

I will need more details on what is happening, are the modes themselves not functioning? Or is it the wheel itself not responding? The only time i have experienced an issue with the wheel was when i purchased the laptop and had Windows 8 on it, after downgrading to Windows 7 i do not have any issues with the functions of the laptop. I am not saying this is a fix, i am informing you that the software is still a bit buggy.
