About this scroll wheel test

Scroll inside the box: every tick is counted, up and down, plus left and right tilt on wheels that support it. When a scroll in one direction produces a tick the other way within 120 ms, it is counted as a wrong-direction tick. A few can come from your finger; a steady stream while scrolling one way means the encoder is dirty or worn, the usual cause of a page that jumps back while you scroll.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

How do I fix a jumping scroll wheel?

Blow compressed air around the wheel while scrolling it, which often clears dust from the encoder. If the jumps return, the encoder is worn and needs replacing.

Why does my wheel scroll lines instead of pixels?

Mice with a notched wheel report whole lines; touchpads and free-spinning wheels report pixels. The result shows which your device sends.
