is the scrolling supposed to be choppy? it is impossible to use this mouse with the scroll wheel, any fix?

No, the scroll should be smooth and accurate just like any other mouse. My 2nd one is still working properly but the first the scroll failed and was returned. If yours is acting up, it likely will get progressively worse. There is a know defect in this batch.

I don't have any trouble with the scrolling... just the occasional missed click and i've had that with every wireless mouse.

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 ..

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.

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.

Gary....I personally have not had any problems with this mouse, I really, really like it :) But then I don't use it all the time or with complex things on my tablet...

Yes, it works great, however the left/right functions of the scrollwheel do not work with the Mac OS. You can fix that with an app like "USB Overdrive." Great mouse, I highly recommend.

Ghenghis, I appreciate the suggestions, but I can assure you it is not a memory problem - at least in my case. I do monitor my system and have no such issues. I did not have the middle-button problem with any other mouse, nor did I have a problem loading a page using the left or right mouse keys on the particular mouse in question.Again, thank you for the thoughtful suggestions. I hope you have (or have had) a better experience with this model of mouse.

It clicks, which I find annoying. However, if one is mechanically inclined it's easy to remedy. Remove the 2 screws in the battery compartment. Pop open the mouse. Locate the spring on the side of the scroll wheel and remove it with needle nose pliers. Pop mouse back together and replace the 2 screws, enjoy scrolling as smooth as butter. WARNING: this will certainly void any warranty and YMMV. ;-)

Nope :( That's the main flaw of this mouse. Scroller is like any other mouse, even the clicking sound.

perfect timing, answer is 'not for long'. scroll has failed already. right click is malfunctioning. nice mouse while it lasted. will not buy another.

The scroll is not perfectly smooth - there are "notches", but it is quiet. Personally, next to a $60+ Logitech game mouse, this is an excellent mouse, and the low cost is awesome. I will definitely be buying these again. I have several.

Scrolling feels pretty smooth to me. There is some friction but its scrolling is smoother than the Kensington expert that I got a few years ago where you can feel bumps as you scroll.

I am just using this and yes, I do find it a wee bit laggy compared to my MX5500. The wheel on the mouse also have a rollback effect..

Hey justin, yeah the scrolling is sensitive, its kind of hard to control. But the software thats used with the mouse lets you tweak and adjust, like -double tap(front or back of touch area) to zoom in or out.-switch between apps-go to start screen(win 8, no clue what it does in Win7).I recently switched to double tap to zoom much easier for me then the touch scroll.Also double tap to zoom is a little slower.

I have! It's extremely annoying. Any luck with fixing it? I bought my mouse in January 2014.

I didn't have any problem with the mouse other than it was too high for my desk, my scroll wheel worked fine, however my space bar is starting to stick again so I guess I will have to work on it some more. Actually I do like like this keyboard, one just has to be a good mechanic to keep it working, ha.

The scroll wheel has a number of functions:1. Rotate wheel to scroll up-down - works fine2. Moving the wheel left/right (clicks left/right) to scroll left/right - works fine3. Pressing down (click down) - this is the tricky operation because if you don't press directly downwards there is a good chance you will inadvertently activate the left/right scroll feature. The required down force is also somewhat more than the needed for the other buttons.I think that this is the nature of this mouse.

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.

How long have you had the mouse? If you recently purchased it -- especially if from Amazon -- I would return it and ask for a replacement. It sounds like you're either having a problem with the actual mouse or with the driver.Just out of curiosity, what Windows operating system are you using it with?

It's not the smoothest scroller I've ever used, but I don't find it very rough either. The scrolling doesn't bother me at all - maybe a B+ on a scale, and I'd still recommend it.
