That computer mice were not made equal?
Sure almost all the mice we see today have a scroll wheel, but if you move from one mouse to another, you may find that the scroll wheels seem to behave somewhat differently.
The reason lies in the fact that some mice have many "steps" in one rotation, so by pulling the scroll wheel a certain amount, you send the computer large number of scrolling signals. Other mice may have less "steps", so the same amount of rotation may produce less signals.
Your computer scrolls the page upwards or downwards by a certain amount everytime it receives a signal saying that you've moved the scroll wheel. Since different mice generate differing amounts of clicks for the same motion, you may find that you are scrolling through pages at different speeds with different mice.
How do we fix this? Simply go to control panel, and open the "Mouse" settings. Go to the "Wheel" tab, and you'd find a setting called "The following number of lines at a time". For a mouse with few steps, the value should be higher, and for a mouse with many steps, the value can be lowered.
