Does the mouse scroll with "Smooth Scrolling" or is it more "click scrolling"? For example: Does it click for every partial rotation?

This has a click type. Unlike some of the more expensive Logitechs that have a little control on the bottom that allows you to select smooth scroll, this one is click type only.

It has clicks but they're very, very faint. If you like a totally smooth scroll, you won't like it. If you like positive detentes (as I do) you won't like it, either.

It clicks, which I find annoying. However, if one is mechanically inclined it's easy to remedy. Remove the 2 screws in the battery compartment. Pop open the mouse. Locate the spring on the side of the scroll wheel and remove it with needle nose pliers. Pop mouse back together and replace the 2 screws, enjoy scrolling as smooth as butter. WARNING: this will certainly void any warranty and YMMV. ;-)

Yes, there is a way to scroll smoothly with this Mouse. In some readable displays of PDF or browser (IE or FF) web pages, including this one, I can press/release the mouse button down to get a displayed "button" that can be used for completely smooth automatic scrolling. As you move your cursor above or below this button, the page will scroll at a rate that increases as you move away from this button. It is a fantastic control, and it will continue scrolling after you raise your finger for as long as your cursor is away from the button. You can remove the button by clicking on the page again.

it take a time to move from regular wheel mouse to touch (vertical and horizontal). Same time it has free scroll if you release a finger from touch (like at tablet) that also unsual but usable. Keep in mind that ergonomic faaar from regular mouse because size is significally smaller and thinner. I get it as travel mouse for tablet but start to use it on laptop easilly.

No, it's like any other mouse, it doesn't work well on smooth surfaces. Mine came with a mouse pad though.

No. You cannot scroll with this mouse. I wrote this review during my PC/Windows days. Now that I use a Mac, I am hooked on their touch pad scrolling. So, if you're a Mac user, this mouse is irrelevant. If you're a PC user, and scrolling is important for you, then this mouse is not it.

old post but it does have clicks between each scroll both thumb and normal scrolls do and the normal scroll middle click is a little harder then a standard mouse but i like it its not to hard to press but enough to prevent accidental hitting of the button when scrolling.

Yes, but like 8.0, It is sometimes difficult to control the lateral scroll movement. It's pretty rapid. I think the vertical scroll sticks when the CPU is loaded. The mouse isn't at all perfected but is very usable. Been using for over a month and don't plan on giving it up. Much better than the scroll pad on my laptop.

Well, I think so. The small left click button I believe will turn it on and off. I never did use it to scroll while I had mine hooked up. I don't think it is worth the price it is fetching now, but I will say it is the very best mouse I have ever used, for comfort and precision and speed. I am using the Logitech Marble and it is ok but not as good as the FX.

yup, scrolling is pretty choppy.. no fixes that i have found yet - i now am used to not scrolling with the scroll wheel - great for ergonomics - have had no pain in the arm / wrist since i have it ..

Not sure what you mean by "smooth". It is a basic mouse that has a scrolling wheel. It works just fine for my use.

I have this mouse and the wheel does not turn smoothly but has slight stopping clicks. This scroll wheel in my experience is garbage. Trying to scroll to read and it constantly jumps up and down only to return to the same position no matter how may spins and clicks. Only way to scroll is very slowly and deliberately. Make me want to throw into a wall.

No. You can R and L click. It doesnt have buttons, so it appears that you can't Click left or right but you most definately can.Its a pretty cool mouse! Also it doesnt use a scroll wheel, but rather you simply slide your finger forward or backward to scroll or side -to-side to shift the screen horizontally.

Yes, the scroll wheel does have detents or click stops as you scroll. They are very quiet and subtle feeling to the touch. Works very well. I also have a Logitech M500 on another computer. That one has a separate little button to turn the click stops off or on. The off position allows for super fast scrolling to fly up and down on a page, but will often flutter about on a page with the slightest movement of the mouse itself (meaning that you might lose your place while trying to read something). I prefer the detents or click stops. The Kensington mouse never flutters like that.

The scroll wheel doesn't spin freely. It "clicks" or "ratchets" into the next position on the wheel, but it does so extremely smoothly. I have very little issue with either kind of mouse you have referred to, but I haven't felt much of a difference between this and a free spinner if you will. You may have stronger feelings on the matter, of course.

I guess that's a matter of opinion. I use these mice at work and I love them. Very dependable/durable. I think the scroll is very smooth and quiet. Great choice for a standard wired mouse. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure what you mean by being able to scroll sideways. You should be able to move in any direction with any mouse. All you have to do is move the mouse. If you're referring to the wheel, you can only use it to scroll up and down. I don't know of any mouse that has a sideways scroll-type wheel. I'm not sure this answers your question, but I hope it helps.
