No. I literally mean like, you know how you can scroll swipe on mobile (or trackpad) and the page just keeps running. I think the scrollwheel should too, even if it wouldn't under it's own momentum, it should remain spinning in sync with the page (servo, I guess...?).

But I hadn't thought of your thing (the scrollwheel kind of stops and, I guess you mean, can't me moved further, once you reach the end of the page), and I like that idea! :)

If you go to major electronic shops: Better Buy, Stables etc... you can test mice like that.

Logitech, Microsoft. They have little flywheels that keep on going
