Re: Smooth auto-scrolling

Bob, I read all the description in the link you gave. It mentions that the
scroll wheel moves smoothly instead of having the detents that mice used to
have. But that is not the "Smoothness" I am looking for. I would like the
page that I am reading to slowly and smoothly move upward, so that I can
keep reading without hitting the bottom of the page. Does your mouse give
you a way of doing that?

Does it not provide a mousewheel button? You apparently did not order the
part number I provided.

Incredibly, the mouse I ordered yesterday arrived today. To my
surprise, what Dell sent me was a Logitech MediaPlay cordless mouse.
And to my great disappointment, it does NOT have a smooth continuous
scroll capability. So I am returning it.

Is there no mouse on the market that somehow lets me read an article
while it slowly and smoothly scrolls upwards (without jerkiness)? Is
there a newsgroup that would deal with this subject better than this
one?

Thanks to every one for their help.

Thanks Bob for the prod. I did pursue the Dell site more deeply and
found replacement mice, but they are all the same model, sounds like a
plain old two-button scroll mouse. They say nothing about continuous
smooth scrolling. Of course I had to specify first what type of Dell
computer I was trying to replace the mouse for, but I tried quite a
spectrum of them and they all used the same mouse.

Aarondg58 (or anyone else) can you specify a model number for the
mouse that enables continuous smooth scrolling? Or the Dell computer
that it comes with?

Go back and look under accessories. "Pretend" you're buying a
replacement mouse.

Thank you for the info. I searched the Dell website but found no
way to buy
just a mouse. I don't want it badly enough to be willing to buy an
entire
computer just to get the mouse. Are there no other mice that give
smooth
auto-scroll?

Dell has a mouse that works pretty well. It's a laser and it has
this
feature. The only downside to this is that Dell products have to be
ordered online.

I recently bought a new Microsoft Optical Mouse 300. My previous
old
"Intellimouse" had a feature that I could press on the scroll
button and
then move the mouse slightly down, and the text would scroll
continuously
downward. The further down I moved the mouse, the faster it would
scroll.
The only problem was that if I set it to scroll quite slowly (so
that I
could read the text as it scrolled), it would scroll somewhat
jerkily. I was
hoping the new mouse would scroll more smoothly, but it turns out
the new
one doesn't even have this entire feature anymore (the scroll
button cannot be depressed).

Does anyone know of a mouse that implements this continuous smooth
scrolling capability?
