For those wondering like I was, mousewheels typically use optical or magnetic rotary encoders. However some do actually use potentiometers. I'm pretty sure the one pictured is an encoder though; all of the potentiometer based mousewheels I can find are way more bulky than that.

Edit: Damn it Lemmy. Fix your sorting so I'm not accidentally commenting on 4 day old posts.

Honestly I kinda like the vibe of genuine necroing going on here. Is it a few hours old? A few days? 3 years? Who cares?

I think it might be as well, that Lemmy doesn't have the ammount of content other sites have. So people like me discovering a new channel can actually scroll a lot further into the past without realizing that you've run into posts that are a year old.
