Is the scroll wheel notched or free scrolling?

The texture of the wheel itself is smooth, but the scroll is notched. It doesn't audibly click or anything, though.

Yes it scroll, ex: the in browsers. You have 4 bouttons you can configure. I made one of them as Universal Scroll. You click on it, then arrows appear. Then you use the ball to scroll. You can adjust it to scroll faster than a Wheel mouse, and it's more previse.So no more moving the mouse all over the place to scroll horizontally and vertically in browsing.

No it's not. However the difference is only the speed of the scrolling, but no, it's not.

So far as I could tell, it's having the ability to click right and left with the scroll wheel. Frankly, it's not that useful. Your call.

The scroll wheel will work as a button. The standard setting allows you to click and then scroll by moving the mouse. It can probably be changed to work in different ways

No the M500 is. I have the M500, which is free scrolling. This one doesn't have free-scrolling but just really fast click-scrolling, from the sound of it.

Sometimes. I just resized my browser window so I'd have a scroll bar at the bottom. I clicked the scroll wheel and the mouse icon changed to the circle with arrows in all four directions: up, down, left, and right. When I moved the mouse left and right, it scrolled appropriately. Then I tried the same thing in Word. No go--up and down only. And in Windows Explorer, there is no wheel scrolling at all. (Note that all of this was testing the scroll function by clicking the wheel, not just regular scrolling with the wheel which works everywhere it's supposed to or attempting to move the wheel itself from side to side which doesn't happen on this mouse.)

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.

If you mean indents, yes. It also has those "ticks" or stops when you scroll. I had a mouse without those once. The scroll wheel would just fly and not stop. This is much better.

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.

One notch switches one weapon. In "locked" mode, it's quite sturdy indeed and there's next to no chance of you actually scrolling the thing. In free scroll mode though, it's extremely loose and sometimes even picking up the mouse is enough to make the scroll move.

It scrolls up and down only. On Windows 8, if you can't go up or down, scrolling will automatically default to left and right. If you are using Windows 8, you should checkout the Logitech Windows 8 mouse which does scroll left and right by swiping the mouse across the top surface.

Mine just recently stopped scrolling altogether, but when it did scroll, I pushed the scroll button down, it moved the page up. Logitech isn't what it used to be.

It is smooth. I'm not sure why Amazon has them so far out (January?) as they're available at Best Buy already. I just got one at my new job.I actually prefer the smooth scroll, and find it a lot more precise. And it's loose enough that you can really give it a strong whirl too. It's a pretty good evolution from the old Intellimouse Explorer.

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.

Latest model yes, earlier models didn't. So if you buy it now, brand new it should have a tillt scroll wheel.
