- CWIZO 13y agoYou roll the roller for up/down, move it left/right for ... wait for it ... left/right :) It's really intuitive.
- the_gipsy 13y agoWhat happens when you reach e.g. the rightmost position of the rod? A mouse has "infinite" movement, the rod only has infinite vertical movementent, unless I'm missing something.
- pkamb 13y agoThere's a "button" on the end of the rod. If you slide the pipe fully over and depress the button, your mouse will continue to travel horizontally.
- jevinskie 13y agoI was confused at first but I realized I was looking at the scroll wheel surrounded by mouse buttons. Cursor movement is done with the "bar" above the buttons/scroll wheel. Move left/right in a finite lateral motion or up/down in an infinite scroll motion.
- pkamb 13y agoImagine a long rod. Slide a shorter pipe onto it. You move on the X-axis by sliding the pipe left/right on the rod. Move on the Y-axis by rolling the pipe. Click by pushing the entire contraption down.
