I like it very much but just curious about the roller which is elongated with grooves on it and cone shaped According to your not so good User Guide, your keyboard is PS2. But I'll grant you know the difference. Nothing is mentioned about the roller so I suspect it couldn't be made to function properly and was left as an attractive nuisance for the unsuspecting buyer. If you installed the drivers as instructed, you might see if it supports an undocumented vertical scroll function in its various "Office" modes. You might also try contacting their tech support too. -- 1PW

The OP didn't indicate that this function performed on his. Have you been able to make it function with Windows or Office? The User Guide seems quite sparse for this information. -- 1PW

OP doesn't seem to be coming back? I use the scroll wheel all the time and it works whenever there is scrolling available so it's just like the scroll wheel on a mouse. Keep in mind, my keyboard has a different name on it but it's pretty much the same keyboard. I did have to install drivers for it and they load with Windows. -- JD..
