Hello,

I have had bluetooth mouse for few days and I experience one problem. The scroll button does not work. Is there any tweak that will make functionable it? And I have on mouse two additional buttons. Is it possible to attach them some function?

Thank you.

Best Regards
Thomas.

As I've also explained in my review,

"As the description of the tweak also states (“Scroll wheel: On SpringBoard, navigates the pages. In other apps, a pinch/zoom gesture is simulated.”), scroll wheels (for example, the touch area on the HP Presenter mice - one of the BT mice I've tested the tweak with) don't scroll Web pages or documents but gradually pinch them to zoom. (And, if it's a (non-mechanical) touch wheel, it'll scroll over SpringBoard app pages very fast!) As Safari (or any other iOS Web browser - the engine is, unfortunately, way less capable than, say, Opera Mobile in this respect) doesn't reflow text at a given zoom level, it's pretty much useless."

EDIT: turns out I was wrong. See https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/19102872/

Have you read my post above? I've explained it's not possible to scroll pages.

Out of interest have you emailed BTC Mouse and trackpad support?

I did a few weeks ago and the response was very helpful - not related to this and I can't remember how long the reply took either, think it was about a week but not sure.

From description: "Scroll wheel: On SpringBoard, navigates the pages. In other apps, view scrolls up/down."
Isn't there written that in other apps it can scroll up/down with the scroll wheel? Or did I misunderstood this setence? If yes I apologize for my bad english

I've just tested the current version on my 7.0.6 rMini. You're right - now the scrollwheel indeed scrolls Safari pages, unlike with the version I tested / reviewed earlier, which only simulated pinching in Safari. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

I've tested this with the Logitech M-RCQ142.

So in version 1.6-1 of BTC Mouse & Trackpad scroll wheel works for scrolling pages in Safari and in previous version it does not?

Yes, it (1.6-1) does work with Safari, at least with my mouse.

And in which version did not work scroll wheel in Safari?

1.0-3 surely not. Dunno when it was added.
