Wiggler

Those who still use older mouse models that are not provided with a scroll wheel, might have difficulties when encountering pages or applications with scrolling content. Wiggler is here to help users overcome such problems by providing a simple and compact solution for scrolling without a wheel, but with mouse gestures.

Requiring no installation or setup process whatsoever, Wiggler will be available immediately after launching its executable file. Remaining hidden in the tray area, it will offer users an unobtrusive interface that can be prompted when clicking on the tray area icon.

In its minimalist interface, one will be able to find two commands, one for starting the application’s main feature and one for resuming normal mouse control. Right after initiating the scrolling procedure, one will be able to go to the applications or windows where scrolling content is present and by using lateral mouse movements, scroll up or down.

The ability to scroll without a scroll wheel and only mouse gestures is surely useful, especially for those who still use old mouse models. Nevertheless, if they encounter numerous instances where scrolling is required, users could require a more reliable solution for scrolling.

Unfortunately, in our tests, on multiple occasions, Wiggler’s gesture scrolling didn’t work at all, or with intermittence. This fact alone makes it an unreliable choice for those who frequently need to use scrolling in their work or daily PC routine.

This application addresses people who use mouse models that do not have a scroll wheel. It will enable them to scroll when required, by using lateral mouse movements, therefore eliminating the need for a scroll wheel in the first place. However, as convenient as that could be, the application’s feature might not always work as expected. Often times it will emphasize intermittent action, and this fact is making it an unreliable choice for those who frequently need to use scrolling.
