»Mouse scroll wheel sensitivity?

A lot of games use the mouse wheel scroll to switch between items or slots, like switching guns in an fps or switching toolbar slots in Minecraft. I used to have a notched scroll wheel (where the wheel physically scrolled in increments or a set portion at a time) and in games the switching function always worked as intended, i.e. one notch = one switch.

My new mouse also has a notched scroll wheel, but in games the effect is that even one scroll will often switch 2 or 3 times instead of just once. For example in shooters it switches to my secondary weapon then right back to my primary weapon again, or in Minecraft it switches 2 or 3 slots over instead of just one. It's pretty much impossible to reliably scroll the precise amount required for just one switch at a time.

Is there any way to fix this? Maybe setting a scrolling threshold in a third-party program or something like that?

 

Try using hotkeys ; numbers 1 to 9 on your keyboard. Its much faster and efficient

 

at least i minimized the signature so that it doesnt covers like half of your screen
