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.

Yes, the wheel moves from side to side and that function is assigned to left and right scrolling. The scroll rates are adjustable in SetPoint as is acceleration. SetPoint would allow you to reassign that function if needed. The wheel is also adjustable for fast smooth rolling or rolling with clicks. The fast rolling wheel allows you to move from top to bottom of a screen or set of screens very quickly. You select that by pushing the wheel straight down to click from mode to mode. Its a well thought out piece. I hope the software eventually catches up.

The scroll wheel does have left/right functionality. By default it's "scroll left" and "scroll right" (forward/back are mapped the the buttons by your thumb by default), but you can program them to do whatever you want.

It is ratcheted but with very little resistance. I prefer more "click" but it's usable.

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.

yup, scrolling is pretty choppy.. no fixes that i have found yet - i now am used to not scrolling with the scroll wheel - great for ergonomics - have had no pain in the arm / wrist since i have it ..

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.

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

Yes. The wheel feels very solid and hits a stop every scroll you do. It also clicks in as a button as well. But after lots of usage of the scroll wheel, it starts to lose that clicky feeling when scrolling. At first it's a very hard scroll but it becomes softer after a while.

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.

Hi Travis -I have not noticed any choppiness when I use the scroll wheel; it seems about as smooth as the scroll wheel on the trackball mouse I had before which I believe was a Logitech.

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.

If by accurate you mean "responds to being clicked", I've never had problems. I click, and the action happens. It takes a little bit more force to click than many other mice, though, so it may get annoying if you need the wheel to be easy to press. As for scrolling, there's a tactile little "tick" while scrolling. I.E. it feels bumpy when scrolling, much like many other mice.

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

Yes the scroll wheel has a "bump" left or right function as indicated by the arrows to either side of the scroll wheel. This "button" action can be programmed to a number of functions, including "back" for one direction and "forwards" for the other.

My scroll wheel works just fine. I love this mouse. My only issue was the forward and back clicks on the side of the mouse. I accidently clicked them while playing my games on FB, which threw me out. But I've learned to keep my thumb under the buttons which is actually very comfortable for my hand. Hope this helps.

yes,scrolling is silent, and it makes a soft click,when I click to point.It is much smoother scrolling then my wireless mouse also.
