Subject: [9fans] How useful is a scroll wheel?
Date: Wed,  3 Jul 2013 02:36:26 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <51D363FA.2010509@gmail.com> (raw)

I'm considering buying a Logitech M-S35 to help me learn sam/acme. My
only worry is that I'll wish I had a scroll wheel. It seems that
clicking the scroll bar whenever I want to scroll would take some focus,
and I shouldn't have to shift my focus to accomplish something as basic
as scrolling. Is there a consensus that scroll wheels make life easier?
Does anyone choose no scroll wheel out of preference rather than
availability?

Caleb
