Further practice with clicking the wheel on the Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse confirms what I previously said about technique that seems to work best with this mouse.

Here's an image which I've annotated to try to visually illustrate the technique. If you place your figure right in the front or back crevice of the wheel slot and press at either of those points, it seems to work better than pressing somewhere on top of the wheel.

If pressuring at the back, some forward pressure works best; if pressuring that front, some backward pressure works best. At least, that's been my experience with it. Of course, there's always the possibility of a faulty mouse being the cause of problematic behavior.

And, of course, clicking the wheel should work equally well by pressing down on any point on the wheel. With my Logitech mouse, I can do just that. But, in fairness, the Logitech mouse is a more expensive mouse. For example, from my experience, the mousewheel is setup so that one side of the "pivot" pushes down on a button. The horizontal scrolling feature I can only guess is managed via the same sort of opto-mechanical mechanism that recognizes scroll wheel detents.

The actual feature is implemented via a small infrared laser that was "stopped" by a circular wheel with small holes inside. I have no idea how it detected the direction of travel though. I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool. I'm a big fan of Logitech Wireless products and have the Revolution Mouse on several systems and absolutely love it.
