In this article, we’ll discuss the scroll click technique. What it is, how to do it and the risks it can involve.
We’ll also cover other configurations too.
But first, let’s understand what a scroll click is.
What is a Scroll Click?
A scroll click is a technique used by some video game players to speed up the number of clicks per second (CPS) on a game. It consists of binding the scroll wheel up, and the scroll wheel down to the left-click or right-click events. Commonly used in Minecraft.
This technique is well known in some games and public servers usually have anti-cheat systems implemented on them to detect this technique.
Warning: do not try it out on a public server or you might get banned.

Additionally, some mouses’ software provides a way to accomplish the Scroll Click by creating a new macro. So you might want to check out if your software does before downloading x-mouse.

Is Scroll Clicking Bannable?
Scroll Clicking is bannable if your CPS are considered extremely high. A CPS of more than 25 or 30 can get you banned in many public servers. It’s considered an unfair advantage, an “auto clicker” and a “macro”.
Scroll clicking belongs to the same group as any other technique using third-party software or macros. It makes the game less fair for those players who are not using this external software. Therefore is not allowed.
