+ from free wheel mode to ratchet mode.
+
+ When such switch is ratchet mode (ON state), the wheel will offer some
+ resistance for movements movement. It will also provide a tactile
+ feedback when scrolled.
+
+ When pressed while in ratchet mode, the wheel will switch to free wheel
+ mode (OFF state). In this mode, it will offer no resistance to wheel
