Hmm, this is odd... the mouse I'm using to write this, has the holes
quite equidistant. However, it does have two pairs of sensors/wheel.
It's a genius Mousetoo, BTW, which I rather like and so never stopped
using :) Ohmygod.. I just realized... I completely overlooked this,
for like years: You measure the the spokes and the holes, both... Doh!
In the Logitech Wheel mouse, the spokes and spaces are a lot closer
together, and almost the same size - but not quite.

Prolly, it's a lot better in the logitech wheel mouse compared to even
the Genius Mousetoo, which is pretty good for its day already, but
that was five years ago :)
