Does clicking on the scroll wheel require a hard press (heavy pressure) or will a light touch work? I prefer a light touch action from my mouse.

yes a hard press. I do not like that aspect about the design either. Not sure which product could help you though.

The clicking on the scroll requires a hard press with a lot of pressure which aggravated my tendinitis.

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.

It does have a rachet feel which is very light, it is not an issue for me. Does not affect my scrolling.

I agree! I have started using the tap feature of the touchpad (two fingers for right click). I works OK for most things once you get used to it but for quick response in a game, I have to connect an external mouse (trackball in my case).

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.

I was faced with the same decision when I purchased my Redragon. Yes the scroll wheel is locked, but the position of the red button is my use all for all my main spells. Cures, rapid fire, whatever your toon uses the most. It was slightly bulky at first but now feels comfortable in my small hands, I love that you can add weights to it. Honestly the price is great, we bought 3 and have had them over a year now and we have no complaints. Works great with my Asus gaming laptop.

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.

I find that it is harder to press down in a sufficiently correct way to get the function to do what it is supposed to do. Harder than other Logitech models. Back to the drawing board, Logitech. Good mouse but needs some sprucing up over some key functions that are some of its key selling points, like this and the scroll wheel drift problem.

it's a bit too easy for me. mainly due to the wheel itself rolls too easily. as a result, often times i intend to "click" the wheel, but instead end up click and scroll at the same time. you have to becareful when you click and not scroll.

No, it doesn't. It has some workarounds, but it won't be as fast as or feel like it does with a mouse with a scroll wheel.

I would say the wheel requires a little more pressure than the left/right buttons. I use the wheel a lot, and when I was using this mouse it was fine for me.

No it does not...but it does have a scroll RING which serves like to scroll wheel but no click on 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.

No. You're not going to accidentally depress it. The only time it's awkward to press is when the mouse is in free-scroll mode (there's a button in the middle that toggles the stepped scrolling vs free-scrolling via some kind of internal latch). These are terms I've made up just now to describe it, but in free scrolling mode you'll probably accidentally scroll when pressing the middle mouse button down.

For scrolling it is like touch screen. But the clicking is not, it is an actual mechanical click. It does detects which sides of the mouse you are clicking. The most difficult one is the middle button click. You have to use 2 fingers clicking about half an inch above the logitech logo. For me the middle button clicking is a hit and miss. And again, I don't do much middle button clicking so I may not be touching the same spot all the time when doing it.

I am using the HP mouse as I am answering these questions. No, the scroll wheel does not do right and left. Yes, it does have a click.
