I think it's dependent on your mouse too. Personally I only use mice that have a click wheel, I absolutely hate free-spinning scroll wheels.

- wolrah 6y agoIMO the best mice ever are the Logitech MX Revolution and MX Master series that have an electronic clutch on the wheel. It's clicky by default but if you whip it the clutch unlocks and you can traverse an entire EULA in 0.6 seconds. Some of their newer gaming mice have a half-ass version of this as well with a manual mechanical toggle.
- p1mrx 6y agoThe MX Master 3 takes this further by using an electropermanent magnet, which is technology I didn't know existed: https://blog.bolt.io/logitech-mx-master-3-vs-2s/ https://blog.bolt.io/logitech-mx-master-3-vs-2s/
- bonestamp2 6y agoI have this mouse and didn't realize that's how it worked. I bet that technology could by applied to laptop keyboards to give them extra travel when the lid is open and tuck them down when the lid is closed.
- inetknght 6y agoI have one and I like it. It's not the best for gaming if you like lots of buttons but otherwise it's great.
- BoorishBears 6y agoThat explains the explosion of scroll wheel complaints with the 3 over the 1 and 2.
- smichel17 6y agoI see your 0.6seconds and raise 0.2 seconds for my <End> key ;)

- germ 6y agoI use a Elecom Huge with drag-scrolling enabled (check xinput if you're curious!). For any kind of scrolling I just hold a sidebutton down and roll the ball, it's very handy and feels better then using a wheel, even if imprecise. For exact scrolling I'll use the scroll wheel or dive for the scrollbar. What I really want is a toggle bound to a button for enabling/disabling drag scrolling. Most of my flow is keyboard based so being able to toggle that on/off for a dedicated stroller would be great.
- inetknght 6y agoI usually agree. However I got a Logitech MX Master 3. It has a magnetic scrollwheel instead of a mechanical one. That also enables it to have a little button to switch between clicky scrollwheel and free-spinning scrollwheel. Super handy! Its battery lasts about a few weeks with above-average use (12+ hours per day, 7 days per week)
