Is there a way to turn off Mouse Wheel ?
Maybe use autohotkey to reassign scroll up/down to some other keyboard button? With a mouse with that many buttons, it should be manageable to just rebind dodge to something else, though.

Here is one way, though I am sure there are better alternatives to having to run this rebind script prior to each play session:
- Download and install AutoHotKey (AHK)
It is a program that is useful for making individual scripts to execute make custom keybinds for individual characters, or even individual games - Create a text file (myfilename.txt) and add this text into it and then save it
#NoEnv
#SingleInstance Force
SetTitleMatchMode, 3
#IfWinActive, Guild Wars 2; “F1” is the customizable key used to toggle normal scroll wheel functions on and off
F1::Suspend
WheelDown::return
WheelUp::return
- Rename the .txt extension on it to instead be .ahk
- Double-click/execute this script prior to or during a game session to unbind wheel-up and wheel-down functionality that will only affect the mouse wheel while GW2 is the active window (so mouse wheel still works fine outside of the game even with it running)
- You can customize the activation/deactivation key so you can disable and re-enable the scroll wheel functionality on the fly without having to close the script and re-open it every time.
So:
Executing the script unbinds mouse wheel up/down functionality in GW2
Pressing F1 disables the script so they work normally again
Pressing F1 again re-enables the script so the scroll wheel up/down functionality is disabled again

I’ve been having this problem with accidentally pressing the wheel up and zooming the camera while on pvp, my dodge is on mid mouse button, so its kinda annoying, i have to zoom out constantly on fights.
Use something else for dodge? You clearly have plenty of options on that mouse. Wheel-click is an abomination.

Thank You very much Sir! This saved my day! I love how it stills there are nice ppl in virtual world.
As for the others saying “just use another button for dodge” , i play this game since beta, and use dodge on mid mouse button, even with a mouse with many other buttons, for me, it doesnt work well as in the mid button… i am sucessful in pvp this way, so im not changing, also, the other buttons already have its binds.
Thank you and gg all.
Not sure if you mouse drive may have a way to disable the wheel (but that would likely disable your wheel button as well….)?
Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That’s the way that lady luck dances

Very glad to hear it works as you desire it to. You’re quite welcome.
If you wanted to remove the task of having to launch the script and GW2 separately, you can also look into creating a shortcut that launches both the script and GW2. May help in the future if you run into some instances where you forget to launch the script and have to tab out of GW2 later on to launch it. I tend to do that sometimes myself, but do not forget frequently enough to put forth the effort to make the dual launch shortcut.
Happy gaming!
