A jQuery plugin that adds cross-browser mouse wheel event support with delta normalization. It exposes normalized deltaX/deltaY values and a deltaFactor property so scroll handling behaves consistently across browsers, devices, and trackpads.

Use cases

• handle mouse wheel events consistently across browsers
• normalize scroll deltas from mice and trackpads
• build custom scroll or zoom interactions in jQuery
• get scroll distance from wheel input
• support horizontal wheel scrolling (deltaX)

When to choose

• your project already uses jQuery and needs wheel event handling
• you need consistent delta values across browsers and input devices
• you want a small, battle-tested plugin for wheel-based interactions

When to avoid

• you are building a modern app without jQuery - use native wheel events or a framework-native solution
• you need touch or pointer gesture handling beyond the mouse wheel
• you need active feature development - the plugin is in maintenance mode
