I have just bought and fitted a Microsoft Wireless Optical mouse 2, and although it mostly works fine it will not rotate a model when I press the middle roller and move the mouse. This always used to work on the ordinary optical mouse. Is there a setting I am missing? Regards Brian Law -- Email: Web : http://brianlawdesign.googlepages.com/ Tel. no. +44 (0) 116 2857436
Mike Thanks for that, it sort of works but not every time, it seems that after approx three uses it refuses to rotate, but if I wait a few seconds it will start working again. Regards Brian Law
Hi, Not to mention the "new" driver does not let you set the wheel to scroll less than 3 lines per wheel rotation... My new MS Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 is great, but suffered from the original posts problem, as well as this scroll issue... I really like the freedom and accuracy of this mouse so I guess I will live with it, or roll back the driver; but I do not know if it will work with this new mouse.... bummer. Sure wish software people would stop fixing things, and actually just fix the bugs! Aron
I have an explorer 4.0 A and have found that the side scroll feature causes the Middle mouse click and hold to be lost if it is tilted slightly. I mapped my middle mouse click to one of the thumb buttons instead and that works quite well. I mapped the second one to CTRL so that I could multi-select with one hand also
Another item is that you may be able to disable the wheel support on certain programs. i found this on a Msoft trackball that has in the mouse properties a tab for "wheel". in this dialog box there is a troubleshooting and there is an advanced selection that in the next dialog box is a disable wheel support for certain programs. add SWx to this list. again if this is available in current mouse driver. i also use an older mouse driver. iQ
I have looked at a lot of mice & tried more than a few. Most I tried were "normal" sized. I thought, "Well, that is what is best." Then I needed a small mouse for my laptops when I travel, so I bought the RadTech BT500 Bluetooth mouse with a scroll wheel which functions as a middle button. The BT500 worked first time, every time with SolidWorks right out of the box with no software. What is more, the small mouse lets my hand assume a much more stress free position over the mouse. If anyone wants to look at one they can see it here: <http://www.radtech.us> I see they are offering "savings", which means they are going to likely offer a new model soon. Bo
