No scroll wheel sucks!!

[Jhill]

My mouse broke so I had to resort to an old 2 button mouse. This sucks! I keep trying to use the scroll function. Is there some way I can push both buttons down and have it scroll that way? Until I can buty a new one?

hehe I had the same problem before... my mouse at the office has a scroll wheel, but I was still using an old 2-button mouse at home... I kept trying to use the scroll wheel when I got home... I finally broke down and bought an optical wheel mouse after a while...

i seem to remember some old software doing that. too bad you don't have a third or else you'd be able to set it to autoscroll.. like when you push in the wheel button.

heh i have like 10 wheel mice of all sorts i'll never have that problem

I wouldn't use the scroll wheel even if my mouse had it, lol.

I have a 3 button mouse, no scroll wheel.. but if you push the middle button.. it gives you some weird arrow cursor thing, and moving the mouse will scroll.

I don't ever use it, I find it annoying.. It's too jerky.

Oh, come on.. Everybody knows there are plenty of 24 hour computer stores. The're even open on sunday!

I'd be lost without my scroll wheel. I use it all the time.

The cruise control on the MX500 is pretty sweet, too. I've got the speed set really high so I can jump down long pages really quickly.

How are you still alive? :Q

wally world where i live is open 24 hours. i would assume they carry logitech or MS mice.

i'm at home for the weekend (go to univ. of Michigan) ...same problem... i think there IS some program/driver out there that'll let you simulate the scroll by holding both buttons down (logitech i believe)

much as i like the scroll buttons next to the wheel of my mx500, i'd like to inform you of these two buttons on your keyboard labled "home" and "end"

I dunno if it'll still let you do it if you don't have a Logitech mouse (also it doesn't work w/ Opera Browser)

Life without a scroll wheel is bad. I could never go back.

A good alternative to a scroll wheel is the space bar (and shift-space).

They have a bad selection with the worst price.

 

[andrey]

Wall-Mart is open 24/7 and they even have MS Optical Mous for $30 or so

In the meantime you can always use SPACE bar to scroll one page down and SHIFT-SPACE to scroll one page up. Good old PageUp and PageDown work very well for reading AT too

 

[placebo139]

i can't imagine using a computer without a scroll... ever since i laid hands on my first computer i had a scroll mouse!

 

[dakata24]

whoever invented the scroll wheel was a genius. use the darn thing everyday surfing AT

That's page up and page down


USe the up and down arrows one your keyboard to scroll

 

[helpme]

That's the way it is when you buy a mac... You get a 60$ Mouse that has one button and no scroll wheel

 

[Analog]

scroll rules, especially for these forums.

 

[iamme]

it's funny, the things you get used to. my new mouse has a BACK button on it, and i look for it when i use other mice
