Ahh.. the scroll wheel. you'll probably use it to navigate this thread.
Surprisingly, I read that it was initially meant to go forward and backward in file explorer and not as it is today, scrolling vertically on a screen.
As for gaming, it has always been used in the same way on PC. The most common usage of the wheel in PC games is switching weapons.
Is there any uncommon default function where the game uses the scroll wheel differently over the years?
before the Nintendo was still known as codename NX, Nintendo patented a device with "Scrollable, clickable shoulder buttons" the mechanic of the scroll wheel is pretty "withered" in technology
Why do you think the scroll wheel hasn't become successful on consoles?
and don't mention dumb, cash grab peripheral that plague gaming..( i won't link to it just the save you)
