Back to the topic of this thread:

I got my production controller today.
I had no trouble setting it up, wireless network and SC were properly
detected and connected to.
I also noticed that a lot more networks are now visible on the
controller. Wireless reception seems to be better in general.

Now to the scroll wheel.
The wheel on my unit seemed to be slightly off-axis.
and the gap between the wheel and the buttons was just not wide enough
to make up for it. 
The wheel touched the + button at every revolution. 
Scrolling long lists was not a problem, but navigating menus was almost
impossible.
I tried to pry open the gap between the + button and the wheel without
any success.
I decided to open up the controller and try to reseat the scroll wheel
and the buttons. But no luck there, either.
Finally I swapped the buttons and wheel between my beta and production
units.
The beta wheel works fine in the production unit.
Strangely enough I now have two controllers with working wheels
because the production scroll wheel turns freely in the beta unit!

I hope this is a one-off. If not this could become a major issue when
the controller hits the market. Not being able to properly navigate
menus ruins the whole duet/controller experience.
