WizMouse

You scroll the window under your mouse pointer without making it active first.

Version 1.7.0.3 · Free to use · Windows

WizMouse adjusts the processing of the mouse wheel on Windows. The goal is that the window where your pointer is above can scroll, even if another window is still active. Clicking matters when you look at two documents side by side, for example.

Modern Windows versions already have a scrolling setting in inactive windows. Check it first. WizMouse is especially relevant when the built-in option or a specific app does not provide the desired behavior. Mouse control tools can affect each other if you use several at once.

The operation is easy to assess: place the pointer above a second window and use the scroll wheel without clicking that window first. This can save a few extra actions when comparing or taking over information. Not every app processes mouse input in the same way.

Newer Windows versions also have a scrolling setting in inactive windows. Therefore, first check whether you can set the desired behavior with Windows. Two tools that adjust the same input can give an unexpected result and make it more difficult to reduce problems.

Version and updates

Version 1.7.0.3 (Windows; installer and portable version). When scrolling in reverse is enabled, the direction will no longer be reversed while holding Ctrl. This prevents abnormal behavior in combinations that connect an app to Ctrl and the scroll wheel itself.

Who is it for?

You want to scroll more easily through adjacent windows.

Our verdict

WizMouse solves a small but recognizable operating problem. It can be nice if you often read between two windows and always have to click unnecessarily. The added value depends on your Windows settings and the programs you use.

First try the built-in option for inactive windows. Then add additional software if you still have a specific problem. Check the behavior in your fixed apps and keep the ability to disable the tool. More mouse tools at the same time do not automatically make operation more predictable.
