I agree. My wheel will not turn through a full circle for some reason, unless you are using a particular one of the six spokes. Said spokes should also be a bit higher and have clearer "clicks" as they move. Sometimes, I can wiggle the wheel all I want (without actually turning it one click) and nothing happens, but other times even barely touching it will cause it to start moving through a menu or document. It would be nice to have a hotkey to turn off just the wheel, but leave the buttons on. That way you could still have the convenience of the buttons without worrying about moving the wheel, but just hit that hotkey if you find yourself needing to quickly move through a document.
