  Microsoft Tilts the Mouse Wheel
Time: 15:00 EST/20:00 GMT | News Source: PC World | Posted By: Alex Harris

Microsoft is reinventing the mouse wheel, adding "Tilt Wheel Technology" for horizontal scrolling and smoothing the vertical scroll motion. The tilting wheel lets users scroll left and right as well as up and down without having to use the on-screen navigation bars. This can be handy when working on a large spreadsheet or trying to view an unwieldy Web site, Microsoft says in a description of its technology.

Microsoft plans to release on September 3 three new mice that implement the new tilting wheel, a company spokesperson says. One will be a corded mouse and two cordless, operating at 27MHz, the spokesperson adds. The mice will also have a feature that lets users toggle between open applications on a PC by pressing down on the wheel, she says. The new Microsoft mice will be sold worldwide. Microsoft will disclose product and pricing details upon their release. However, pricing is expected to be in line with Microsoft's current mouse portfolio, which ranges from $34.95 to $44.95 for corded and 27MHz cordless mice. Microsoft's Bluetooth mouse costs $84.95.

" "It is not to say that horizontal scrolling is good or bad, but the things that customers say they want to do with their mouse are the things we have already implemented," says Lloyd Klarke, a senior product manager with Logitech. "

Yeah, that's the reason why Microsoft's peripherals always seem to kick the rear-ends of Logitech stuff. Moron...

Haha... Microsoft comes up with something new, and Logitech's response is "people don't want that anyway."

We shall see!

I would just be happy if Microsoft would support their own operating systems with their mouse drivers. The current version of Microsoft Intellimouse does not support Windows 2003... I currently have a wireless intellimouse explorer and I cannot get the drivers running. The drivers are required for configuring it.

In this instance, they are not eating their own dogfood....

Its interesting that crapple is still selling a one button hockey puck and Microsoft continues to refine the mouse and make it ever more useful! LOL

"But Logitech isn't too convinced about demand for horizontal scrolling"

Boneheads...

I have the Logitech MX-700 Mouse. It's great.

However, I do feel that Microsoft's latest high-end mice are a lot more comfortable, at least to me.

The MX-700 was simply a better buy (by a lot) at the time.

Oh, never mind. It's not worth it...

#7/8,

The Apple Pro Mouse is not a problem clicker wise. You just use it like any other mouse. It clicks the same, it feels the same. You just can't see the button because it's done differently.

The only reason _I_ don't use it is that I want two buttons.

Rumor has it Apple is finally going to cave in on that.

I have been thinking about this thoroughly, and I can't come up with a handful of scenarios where horizontal scrolling would be useful.

I run my desktop at a high resolution, so if I ever find the need to scroll horizontally (such as on a web page), it just means that I have to increase the window size.

Maybe the only possible instance would be when working on those extra-wide spreadsheets.

Nonetheless, if I had one of these new MS mice, I couldn't see myself using this feature more often than once per week.

I'm trying to picture what this might look like. Is it just another similar scroll wheel in between the two buttons? That sounds ugly.

#11 By 61 (24.92.223.112) at 8/7/2003 3:15:00 PM
mooresa: they had pics of them a few weeks back.

It looks like the vertical scroll wheel will tilt slightly to the left and right.
