    I was forced to use a ye olde mouse today that didn't have a scroll wheel. It kinda felt like I was missing a finger....

    Just wondering how many of you are using a mouse that doesn't have a scroll wheel?

    I do on one of my other computers and it was a little hard to get used to so I don't really use it.

    From last one month, the scroll wheel is not working properly in my mouse and whenever I use it, the whole page dances up and down and now I'm used to it ;)

    I have a mouse with a scroll ball (i roll the ball rather than move the mouse)...i love the setup...but it doesn't have a scroll wheel (i got the cheap one...silly me)....

    i've been meaning to get a new one...but i'm used to it now...

    I use a laptop, so there's no mouse :).

    Although the mousepad allows you to scroll down...

    Can't really do without a mouse wheel. Makes me uncomfortable and frustrated.

    My trusty Logitech MX510 died the other day, so I had to use a really old ball mouse, which had no scroll wheel... or back and forward buttons :(

    It's pretty awful using something like that when you've become dependent on other things.

    I'm on my laptop and don't use an external mouse, however it does have a slide bit at the side for scrolling but its a pain.

    I scroll by using:
    SpaceBar to go down
    Shift + Spacebar to go up
    and use the Home key alot... this method works great for me, but if I use a PC its gotta have a scroll wheel on it.... when you've not got one of them on a PC it just feels wrong.
