That's a great question! It is okay if you don't have a wheel, or a mouse at all. There is an option that allows you to use the keyboard arrow keys, up and down. In the final version you will be able to assign the keys you want to use, but for now the option uses arrow keys to scroll through objects. A similar options uses left and right arrow keys, to change focus categories. In this way you don't even need a physical mouse at all.
