Does the scroll wheel loosen with time?Currently uncomfortable to use, but if one rotates it quickly for a few seconds, becomes smoother for about 10 seconds.

I have bought three and I did not experience that problem with any of them. For me, this Keyboard/Mouse combo is the best I've ever used and I've tried countless others.

I didn't have any problem with the mouse other than it was too high for my desk, my scroll wheel worked fine, however my space bar is starting to stick again so I guess I will have to work on it some more. Actually I do like like this keyboard, one just has to be a good mechanic to keep it working, ha.

I assume you mean on the mouse? (I have never used the "Zoom" scroll found on the keyboard split) - Mine scrolls nice and clean.. and now that you ask am realizing it may have been a bit "tight" when first purchased. Now it scrolls very nicely and never a hangup. In comparison, after 6+mos of use it may actually be smoother/looser than my most recent MS mouse so I find myself occasionally overshooting things. A quick adjustment to the sensitivity in mouse properties should fix that real quick..

J. Bravo, I don't have a problem w/the mouse functions, even w/the neuropathy in my hands. Probably personal preferences. Yes, I think over a period of time--because I'm using the mouse from the defective suite--it will "loosen" or "get smoother" w/in a few months, if you use it often. Mice are not my problem, but I do like this one better than others. I hope this helps. Be safe.

I didn't have that problem. However, I've read in reviews that the wheel does loosen up. Actually, now that I think about it, it has gotten a lot looser.

i noticed it gets real smooth and loose with heat and use....i wish it stayed that smooth all the time.....

We cannot answer this question because we could not get the keyboard and mouse to work on our system. Even Microsoft Techies gave up on our problem. And they do not make a left handed mouse.

I'm not for sure what a 'smooth' scrolling wheel is, but it has a scrolling wheel. You can feel the "bumps?" in in it as you use the wheel to scroll.

Yes. The wheel feels very solid and hits a stop every scroll you do. It also clicks in as a button as well. But after lots of usage of the scroll wheel, it starts to lose that clicky feeling when scrolling. At first it's a very hard scroll but it becomes softer after a while.

It is stiffer than the older one I had, springier I guess. Surprisingly enough, my thumb is doing fine and I use it a lot. I have not had to use my wrist / thumb brace at all that I can remember with it. It also may have to do with the scroll ring which I really like and use more and more instead of holding down the button to scroll. Maybe you just need to use it for a few days to see. Hope this helps. :)

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.

It's toggle-able between smooth and click scroll. Click scroll may be loose depending on your preference. Seems fine for me.

The only way I know how to slow the scroll is go into your Control Panel and change the Mouse Properties. Should be a wheel option.

I am using the HP mouse as I am answering these questions. No, the scroll wheel does not do right and left. Yes, it does have a click.

It's not the smoothest scroller I've ever used, but I don't find it very rough either. The scrolling doesn't bother me at all - maybe a B+ on a scale, and I'd still recommend it.

No scroll wheel, I didn't keep it...too small for my hand so not sure about your last question.

I've never encountered an issue. The response time is great and the actual wheel is smooth. You can lightly feel each movement.

Owner since Jan. 2011, the scroll wheel works beautifully, I have/ had no problem with the mouse yet. The wheel also has rubber padding around it, feels great, and even after all the gaming usage. Hope it helps.

The mouse wheel is on the lighter side in terms of stiffness/tension to spin the wheel. So if you really pull with your finger you can get an extra half turn of the wheel after your finger leaves the wheel. It has never given me contrary inputs (reversing direction of scroll) even with very fast spinning.

I purchased the mouse for my son. He doesn't seem to be having trouble with it. I've used it and it doesn't wobble. I don't know about the side to side scrolling.I don't believe the wheel tilts.

It's a clicker, but it's a very loose click. There are gradations in the wheel, but it's still very easy to scroll with little actual force.

It stops spinning under normal use. I haven't experienced it scrolling backwards by itself.

No, the scroll should be smooth and accurate just like any other mouse. My 2nd one is still working properly but the first the scroll failed and was returned. If yours is acting up, it likely will get progressively worse. There is a know defect in this batch.
