MagSpeed adaptive scroll-wheel
The speed-adaptive scroll wheel shifts between two scrolling modes automatically. As you scroll faster, it
will automatically shift from line-by-line scrolling to free-spinning.
Line-by-line (ratchet) mode —ideal for precise navigation of items and lists.
Hyper-fast (free-spin) mode —near-frictionless spinning, letting you fly through long documents and
web pages.
Switch modes manually
You can also manually switch between modes by pressing the mode shift button.
By default, mode shift is assigned to the button on top of the mouse. Use the Logitech Options Software,
to disable SmartShift if you prefer to stay in a single scrolling mode and shift manually. You can also adjust
the SmartShift sensitivity, which will change the speed required to automatically shift into free spinning.
