The wheel can both be rotated and clicked, thus most mice today effectively have three buttons. In web browsers, clicking on a hyperlink opens it in a new tab, and clicking on a tab itself usually closes it.

The click wheel replaced the touch wheel starting with the fourth-generation iPod, and was present on the first through fifth generations of the iPod Nano. The "brain" behind the click-wheel is the conductive membrane behind the plastic covering. This membrane has "channels" that when connected, create a set of coordinates. These channels are ...
