Scroll wheel - Cicks or Smooth? Does the 'scroll wheel' click when you rotate it or is it smooth.

Hi, Sam, Both the Explorer and the Explorer mini have a smooth scroll wheel. Technically that's called "detent" or "non-detent", though I also think of them as "crunchy" and "smooth." :-) The new Arc mouse has a detent wheel. Cathy, Microsoft Hardware Documentation team

Click, click, click! :)I like it because it scrolls smoothly while giving you lots of control with the scrolling. Personal preference.

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 ..

The texture of the wheel itself is smooth, but the scroll is notched. It doesn't audibly click or anything, though.

The scroll is not perfectly smooth - there are "notches", but it is quiet. Personally, next to a $60+ Logitech game mouse, this is an excellent mouse, and the low cost is awesome. I will definitely be buying these again. I have several.

The scrolll wheel has detent as it is rotated, and also is a button when pushed. I have had this mouse for quite some time, and am very happy with it.

It clicks. Not does it have an option for a flywheel mode. My new mouse does, and I've found it come in handy quite often.

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.

It is smooth. I'm not sure why Amazon has them so far out (January?) as they're available at Best Buy already. I just got one at my new job.I actually prefer the smooth scroll, and find it a lot more precise. And it's loose enough that you can really give it a strong whirl too. It's a pretty good evolution from the old Intellimouse Explorer.

Yes, it does have a distinctive " clicky feel " to it when it scrolls. I personally prefer it over the other type.It feels intuitive and I am quite used to this type of feel. I feel that I can control the speed more easily -but that may just be very subjective.

It does bump, and yes it does separate from the scroll wheel. The buttons behind the mouse adjust the sensitivity. It is really good and other reviews explained that the battery sucks but I think that they had a broken or bad copy of the mouse. Mine is good, the led lights work, and I've had this since Christmas and I've never had to change the battery.

Yes, scroll wheel is silent too. Has some texture on the wheel for traction, but you can't feel lines with your finger.

Hi Travis -I have not noticed any choppiness when I use the scroll wheel; it seems about as smooth as the scroll wheel on the trackball mouse I had before which I believe was a Logitech.

You can remap the button below the scroll wheel to do about anything. I find it nice to have the separate "middle button" that isn't dependent on my trying to balance the scroll wheel to click.

No it does not...but it does have a scroll RING which serves like to scroll wheel but no click on it.

I just bought this mouse for my husband. We are avid gamers and he is a video game designer. The mouse does click when scrolling. Its a great mouse either way.

No, the scroll wheel locks and the scroll is quite tight. I use the scroll wheel as an additional button because it won't inadvertently scroll or move around. It is sturdy.
