I got a new mouse and I hate the wheel. Its literally out of control as it is zooming by just looking at it.
I unbinded the wheel in the keybindings for zooming in and out and used bindings of the keyboard for it on both, but the wheel is still zooming.
Any way to fix that? It is starting to annoy me so much that I either have to buy another mouse or to quit the game.
If your mouse has “free wheel” option make sure to check it is not active. For example on Logitech G502 X Lightspeed mouse it is one of the buttons under the wheel.
Hey.
Thanks for your answer. My mouse indeed has it and it is one reason why it is always happening, because I have middle mouse button binded and another button that is directly between mouse wheel and that “free wheel” button which I also use.
The problem is, I don’t want to lose those both bindings, especially the button on the mouse wheel, as I am used to it for more than a decade now. So I want to remove the zooming function from the wheel which is something I could handle with a lot more ease.
Any idea of how to remove zooming in/out from the wheel?
You can configure it in the keybindings and just unbind wheel from zoom in/out or bind them to some other action.
Tried that, didn’t work.
Tried that too now. It is literally used for aiming higher/lower in vehicles. But guess what: it is still zooming in/out with the wheel.
It seems like it doesn’t matter what I bind to it, it does ignore the binding and that is driving me crazy!!!
Dear Support: Any ideas?
What exactly happens when you try to unbind the mouse wheel?
If you use software from the mouse manufacturer check that you haven’t bind the mouse wheel to something else. Same goes for the mouse’s internal memory which some models have and are active even if you don’t have the software installed at the moment.
It is unbinded. But even though I don’t have a bind for zoom in/out, my wheel still zooms in/out.
Just checked again, it doesn’t have another binding to it.
Which mouse is this? If it’s a Logitech then make sure it’s not set to a special (wow) game profile in the software. OR any other special mouse app you have running.
If it’s unbound correctly in game the only way the wheel can still zoom is if some app is doing it instead or you have an addon that’s overriding these bindings that you have not disclosed to us.
Hey.
It is the G502 Hero of Logitech. The integrated memory is turned off. I also made sure it is not switching profiles when I am in a game and double checked it.
So since it isn’t from my mouse, I tested your advice with addons. I disabled on a fresh alt all addons and it didn’t zoom anymore. So I loaded after all addons and disabled them one by one to find out which addon is causing it.
EnhancedCamera which was supposed to speed up the camera and keep max cam distance, but was obviously overriding the settings. And indeed, found that within the code:
SetOverrideBindingClick(ZoomFrame, true, 'MOUSEWHEELDOWN', 'CamZoomClickyButton', -1)
SetOverrideBindingClick(ZoomFrame, true, 'MOUSEWHEELUP', 'CamZoomClickyButton', 1)
Thanks man, finally I can play again without getting annoyed!
