Pre-solution

What didn't work

Dealing with the scrolling issues with the Microsoft Mobile 3500 Mouse turned out to be fairly simple, but

• After plenty of messy registry hacks
  • (changing HCKU\Control Panel\Desktop\WheelScrollLines, HCKU\Control Panel\Mouse keys didn't work)
• After plenty of time spent messing around with Control Panel
  • The basic "tutorials" only show you how to change the amount of lines scrolled at a time, but does not deal with the problem regarding the mouse scroll wheel sensitivity
    
• After restarting/logging off a few times (logging off is apparently supposed to apply the registry changes that you've made)
• And even after re-plugging the nano-transceiver device,

Nothing seemed to work to fix the delayed/slow scrolling with the Microsoft Mouse...
