High Resolution Scrolling

[nickvdm]

How is it possible to enable high resolution smooth scrolling in windows using the space mouse? For me it is scrolling by lines when I don't see why it couldn't scroll in smaller increments or by pixels. There is a youtube video of someone using a HID descriptor tool to add a resolution multiplier. How can this be done for the space mouse? Any idea?

I believe scrolling by lines is a windows function, not a spacemouse function. You should be able to go into your mouse settings and change it there.

Yet I've always used Spacemouse. Great to see your suggestion!

Was this ever solved? Is it possible to just swap the scroll wheel actionID with a high-res equivalent (and greatly increase the firing speed) or something?

Oh wow, I actually just stumbled across the answer myself while trying to solve something else, only it appears to be somewhat broken?

I saw a reference to "HIDMouse_SmoothWheel" in Base.xml; when I change an "HIDMouse_Wheel" to "HIDMouse_SmoothWheel" in an existing xml, my movements do indeed start mapping directly to very smooth scrolling that corresponds to how far I'm tilting the spacemouse, which is exactly what I wanted -- except that if I push it past halfway or so to the edge, it suddenly reverses direction and scrolls the wrong way instead? I tried changing the Min/Max values associated with the input *and* the output, but neither one helped. Is there something I need to add to the XML for this to work correctly, or should I be filing a bug report?

Oh wait, I got it -- setting the output scale to 0.5 (or lower) fixes the problem!
