Is it fair to assume most mouses have a scroll wheel? Hover and use that? Do they do that?

Is it fair to assume most mouses have a scroll wheel? Hover and use that? Do they do that?
- bigyabai 10mo agoMost have click+drag and a shift modifier for fine adjustments.
- mjr00 10mo ago> Is it fair to assume most mouses have a scroll wheel? Probably not, a lot of musicians develop on the go (planes etc) so they're dealing with built-in trackpads pretty often. You can still scroll but it's not as ergonomic.
- ofalkaed 10mo agoThis is one of the things which helped sell me on Thinkpads with their three physical trackpad buttons and trackpoint, middle click+trackpoint gets you your scroll wheel and it is quite ergonomic.
- camtarn 10mo agoHuh, I had one of those Thinkpads and I had no idea that this was a thing!
- ubercow13 10mo agoSome audio software lets you do this but mouse wheels are incredibly imprecise compared to the mouse sensor itself so this isn't really useful for many types of control which require precise adjustment.
- bandrami 10mo agoI think it's even more fair to assume the user has a MIDI device with a bunch of knobs on it?
- saghm 10mo agoIf that's what they're using, why would there need to be a way to move it via the mouse at all then?
