minus-squareMonkderVierte@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-22 months agoWait, is that wheel for scrolling?
minus-squaretetris11@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 months agoWait, are those bite marks on the other wheel?
minus-squareThe_Almighty_Walrus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 months agoMostly the fact that it can only move in 2 directions.

minus-squareVerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 months agoYeah, that’s the way I mean. If the wheels in your figure there were at 90° angles, it wouldn’t work at all. The very best case scenario would be that it would input up then right over and over the whole time you’re dragging.
