Is the wheel also a button that I can click, or is it used just for scrolling?

yes, it can start the auto scroll depending on what you configure. There are is a button behind the wheel also. I like it for the size and shape as my hand is fairly large. It will take a beating too, as I have dropped it several time already. Hope this helps you.

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.

The wheel can control left and right movement. If you hold it to the right, the pointer changes, and then you can move the screen left/right and up/down.The wheel does not have an audible click, but there is a slight "bump" (Can't think of a good word to describe it) to let you know that you are scrolling the wheel.

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.

Hi Spazicle. Yes, it counts the scroll wheel as the 3rd button because you can actually press on it and it will do its job of opening another tab or closing a tab.

The mouse wheel is on the lighter side in terms of stiffness/tension to spin the wheel. So if you really pull with your finger you can get an extra half turn of the wheel after your finger leaves the wheel. It has never given me contrary inputs (reversing direction of scroll) even with very fast spinning.

No mouse wheel but you can use the arrow keys on the keyboard for scrolling up & down on a web browser.

The mouse has a wheel right in between the left and right buttons that allow you to scroll.

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.

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.

it take a time to move from regular wheel mouse to touch (vertical and horizontal). Same time it has free scroll if you release a finger from touch (like at tablet) that also unsual but usable. Keep in mind that ergonomic faaar from regular mouse because size is significally smaller and thinner. I get it as travel mouse for tablet but start to use it on laptop easilly.

There is no real wheel. However, if you move your finger on the mouse, it will mimic the wheel function. Similar to touch pad. I like the 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.

Yes, the wheel will function as a "middle mouse button" but this mouse does not have the positive stops many of the Logitech "mice" have making it much too easy to scroll when you're trying to click... ugh!

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.

No scroll wheel, I didn't keep it...too small for my hand so not sure about your last question.

No there is not, just left click, right click and scroll. The button above the scroll wheel, I have not figured out what it does. The right click button is on the left side.
