For the desktop laptop user, the mouse wheel is your best friend. It’s tactile, satisfying, and gives you a physical click for every line you scroll. Cherish it.
Fun fact: the first mouse with a scroll wheel was invented by a Taiwanese company called KYE in 1995. It was originally called the “Genius EasyScroll.” Now, every mouse on Earth owes it a debt of thanks.
