![]() I did have a lot of fun with the Logitech G500 toggle button. XoRn: I don't think I've ever considered one preferential to the other though I suppose I have mostly used the clicky ones. in fact I'd forgotten all about smooth ones, don't think I've used one since I was at uni and now having flashbacks to just spinning it hard and letting pages scroll (before people realised walls of content don't really work. Nothing against a smooth scroll but as Sweet Dee would say - "clickity clackity, clickity clackity", you can't really argue with that logic.Īlm: I am one for the clicky wheel too. Indecent Louie: I think I prefer clicky, my current one is clicky and it feels nice having this feeling of making an impact during the scroll. When playing a game I seldom use a mouse wheel, as using the keyboard is for the majority of scenarios way faster. I just got used to hearing the sound and it helps a bit knowing how fast/slow to scroll if that makes sense. But there's no mouse interaction more satisfying than clicking in that button and giving the wheel one mighty flick to scroll with lightning speed.įrindis: Good question! I really like to have a clicky mouse wheel when I am browsing the web. I keep mine on notched mode most of the time, because that precision control is often the more useful. You click a button to switch scroll modes, and the mouse is a heavy chunk of metal (especially on the G402) that can just spin and spin and spin. As Jody mentioned, Logitech solved this problem years ago with its "mometum" scroll wheel, which is on the G502 and the kingly G903 (some of our favorite gaming mice). How else are you going to swap weapons in an FPS? You'd never land on the right one! But also, obviously a free-spinning wheel is the better experience for long web pages and quickly scrolling by all those damn ads that interrupt what you're trying to read. Obviously you need a notched scroll wheel that makes distinct, tactile steps for playing PC games. Picking between a clicky scroll wheel and a smooth, free-spinning scroll wheel is a fool's errand. Wes Fenlon: Ain't no scroll wheel like a Logitech scroll wheel cause a Logitech scroll wheel don't stop Get mouse with a regular, lightly clicky scroll wheel, and you can live a blessed life like I do. I think the anti-clicky-scroll-wheel camp was possibly turned off by some kind of weird, extraordinarily loud scroll wheels that no normal person could tolerate. ![]() If I turned my fan on I wouldn't be able to hear it. If I scroll quickly it sounds a bit like a zipper being zipped, but at maybe a quarter of the volume. When I scroll the scroll wheel on my Razer DeathAdder, there's resistance, and it 'clicks' into grooves-it can't just spin freely like a ball bearing-but it doesn't make loud clicks. ![]() I'm very confused by the noise complaints. ![]() The wheel clicks, the page moves, the gun swaps, and I am happy. It's basically the same with mouse wheels-I need that tactile feedback under my finger to reassure me that things are happening as they're meant to. I'll admit, that sounds cool as hell, but it actually doesn't sound at all because there's no noise coming from the mouse wheel, and that's a fact.īack when I was playing flight sims regularly, I had a CH throttle that drove me nuts because it didn't have an afterburner detent (a lock for the throttle), so I was never 100 percent confident that I was fully balls-out in a crisis. Without it, PC gamers are operating in the dark, the abyss, embracing the void. A mouse wheel that clicks is, functionally, the same. Animal shows would begin to suck and my friend group would have nothing to do on Animal Show Night. What if bats couldn't make little clicking noises? Dolphins? They would not be able to make much sense of their environment or communicate effectively, dying out in a matter of weeks, possibly less.
