Can you use the joystick to scroll? Ideally I would like it to be able to vertical scroll and horizontal scroll for webpages and excel.

You can link any key on the keypad, (including the Joypad and the space and thumb button) to whatever you wish for. be it a media function, a keyboad key, a mouse function...basically, if you can do it with something on your PC, you can link any key on this keypad to do it.

Yes, you can bind the thumb d-pad (I assume that is what you mean by joystick) to "mouse functions" such as scroll up/down with some caveats: The d-pad is off-axis, so you won't actually have a hand movement that correlates to up/down. This isn't such a big deal. The bigger one to me would be that it doesn't seem to support press and hold. So if you want to scroll down, you're clicking each time. This is exactly how the mousewheel functions, it's just much more aligned to the purpose (easy to scroll fast).Binding to arrow keys, as has already been said, is also an option. In this case, it does support press and hold, but the browser does not treat arrow keys the same as mousewheel... so it's a trade-off.

Yes, the joystick functions as 4 separate buttons and all of the functionality available for any key on any razer device including mouses is able to be assigned to any key. The joystick is a bit difficult to hold in one place for long unless you happen to have really unusual thumbs so I would suggest assigning page up and page down.

Yes. The joystick comes pre-mapped as the arrow keys. So you could scroll like that. Or you may be able to customize it in some way. You could remap some of the joystick directions as mouse scroll wheel movement. For instance when you press the stick forward it acts as if you rolled the mouse scroll wheel forward, that should be fairly smooth for webpages.Hope this helps

I'm not sure what you mean by being able to scroll sideways. You should be able to move in any direction with any mouse. All you have to do is move the mouse. If you're referring to the wheel, you can only use it to scroll up and down. I don't know of any mouse that has a sideways scroll-type wheel. I'm not sure this answers your question, but I hope it helps.

YES, you can scroll. I am NOT a techie, and I figured it out. It's just like Feejo said. Go to your mouse settings, then click on "set-point"--you'll see the configurations there. I love this trackball and the price is right!

Sadly no. You can press down on the scroll wheel and use the Omni direction, but it doesn't go left or right, just up and down.

Weird, I have been diggin the touchpad actually. Seems very intuitive to me and I have not yet used a mouse.I think your question is ultimately rhetorical though - if you only use a mouse the performance of the touchpad is irrelevant.

Trackpoint won't work for scrolling. I just connected it to MBP and while typing and moving mouse around works - scrolling doesn't and it doesn't look like there is an easy way to configure it.

The mouse cannot scroll horizontally. If you middle-click, you might get an application-specific cursor that allows you to panaround the screen--this may *appear* to be horizontal scrolling, but it is not from the mouse itself.

I haven't. The only issue I have experienced with this mouse is horizontal scrolling using the mouse wheel. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I haven't been able to figure out why. Vertical scrolling has always worked for me.

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.

The trackpad works similarly, but there's no side scroll wheel function I can find. It does have the neat feature of press-down 'button' area at the lower (closest to you) edge of the pad. It clicks and gives feedback. Otherwise it seems to function as any other trackpad.

I'm not really sure if I understand the question. If you mean can you push down on the mouse wheel to lock and push the mouse up and down to scroll the page, then the answer is yes.

I think the question refers to the scroll wheel physically being able to tilt left or right in addition to the middle button click. As in to scroll the screen left or right. The Logitech G500 mouse has this, I don't own an HP X4000b, but I'd also love to know if it can do this.

I believe you are correct... I was not able to scroll using the arrow keys or their function....

I do not think so...at least I have not found a way to get it to scroll. It was a trade-off for being either left- or right-handed capable.

I have absolutely no problem scrolling with this mouse best I ever had just use the wheel at the top of the mouse to move up or down. Make sure you have a mouse pad that is recommended for the mouse and you are good to go

If you mean to use it to scroll through pages and stuff, then yes. It acts as a middle mouse btn.
