#11 Faking the scroll wheel is unreliable
I find that faking a scroll in a script only works if the first mouse actually has a scroll wheel. The code in the script is:
Gizmod.Mice[0].createEventRaw(GizmoEventType.EV_REL, GizmoMouseAxis.WHEEL, -Event.Value)
For example, when I remove touchpad from my mouse strings and get this, scrolling using my powermate works:
Standard - Directory [input]
Standard - Lid Switch [event0] vId: 0x0 pId: 0x5
Standard - Sleep Button [event1] vId: 0x0 pId: 0x3
Standard - HDA Intel Mic [event10] vId: 0x0 pId: 0x0

Standard - Power Button [event2] vId: 0x0 pId: 0x1

Standard - Video Bus [event8] vId: 0x0 pId: 0x6
Standard - HDA Intel Mic [event9] vId: 0x0 pId: 0x0
But if I leave touchpad in, scrolling using my powermate fails:

Debug output from it not working (Same script, just no touchpad):

onEvent: Powermate -- /dev/input/event15 | [EV_REL] c: 0x7 Val: 0x1
It looks like it knows the event isn't sent, so could maybe try each mouse until it finds one that works?
