    For those wondering like I was, mousewheels typically use optical or magnetic rotary encoders. However some do actually use potentiometers. I’m pretty sure the one pictured is an encoder though; all of the potentiometer based mousewheels I can find are way more bulky than that.

    Edit: Damn it Lemmy. Fix your sorting so I’m not accidentally commenting on 4 day old posts.

      Honestly I kinda like the vibe of genuine necroing going on here. Is it a few hours old? A few days? 3 years? Who cares?

        I agree. Never understood why it was seen as a bad thing to respond to older comments or posts. Especially if you have something useful or good to contribute like the person above did.
