Does the scroll wheel spin freely or does it 'ratchet' when used? Thanks!

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

It has a ratchet movement although it is very subtle. If you press down it rolls freely.

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.

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

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

Scrolling is fairly quiet - fast scrolling will produce some noise, but not a lot. Clicking is about normal for mice I've used.

The scroll wheel does click as it is being used. Although it does click in as a button, you need to program it to mimic say the left or right mouse button.

Yes, the wheel clicks softly during scrolling. Most mice I have used have a harder click than this.

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.

No and I'm on my second. If you push on the scroll wheel, that might make it behave strangely. Or maybe it is your OS?

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.

Yes, but I must warn you, the scroll wheel is awful! It free spins when you move the mouse with no restraint. So it randomly scrolls all over... Defective if you ask me...

Yes, the scroll wheel on this mouse is one of the best that I have used on a mouse. There is a step when you scroll which is great for gaming so that you get that bump feedback unlike continuous scroll wheels which provide no feedback. I would recommend watching this Youtube video reviewing the mouse. The reviewer does a great job explaining all the features and differences to other mice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qs2Asv_Oc0

Hi, I didn't know the answer until you asked the question. LOL. So I tried it on a Word doc. The answer: it scrolled both left and right, as well. That's not really a motion in my repertoire, since I tend to use the zoom (cntrl + mouse wheel) for navigation. But now that I know, thanks to your question, I'll add that capability to my arsenal. Hope this helps.

Yes and no. To scroll, you have to click one of the inner small buttons first, and then the roller becomes the scrollwheel. So, unfortunately it's not a quick access item, nor can you reverse the direction of scrolling on Windows. It's too bad they didn't include a scrollwheel between the two main buttons.

The scrolll wheel has detent as it is rotated, and also is a button when pushed. I have had this mouse for quite some time, and am very happy with it.

You can reassign every button on this mouse (even the DPI buttons) except for the toggle button that controls the wheel functionality. The mouse's wheel can toggle between hyper scroll mode (where you can spin the wheel and it keeps spinning freely) and regular notched scroll mode. The button that toggles this mouse wheel functionality is specifically used for that purpose only.

My scrolling with the mouse wheel is very steady with no choppiness. Possibly you might try to change your mouse settings to either more lines or less lines of movement for each scroll. Hope that helps.

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.
