Explanation of the issue this new firmware will resolve:
This firmware version aims to address the "half scroll" state that can occur when the scroll-wheel sits half way between two scroll notches for too long, or the encoder misses half of a scroll event due to a hardware issue.
Once in this state the first notch scrolled in either direction will not result in a scroll event occurring. For example if you moved the scroll wheel 3 notches up, then 5 notches down this would only result in 2 up scrolls, and 4 down scrolls. Or if you rolled up and down over a single notch repeatedly no scroll would ever occur at all.
The current firmware will automatically resolve this "half scroll" state if the scroll-wheel is left idle in a neutral position for 5 seconds. But if this is happening to you frequently it can still be problematic. So this custom firmware will prevent the half scroll state from ever occurring at all.
The custom firmware is included with the X1 Control Panel version you can download from the links below.

Installing this and performing the firmware update when prompted should address the half-scroll issue. But please let us know if you encounter any issues with it.
I recommend switching to the
Beta release channel after uploading the firmware to your mouse. As this will allow you to continue receiving software updates while using this firmware.
Switching back to the normal firmware:
If
for any reason you want to switch back to the normal firmware, just downgrade to the
current public release.
