IS there any way to slow this thing down? The clickwheel is so sensitive when i want to stop on Led Zeppelin i'm already down by ZZ-top.

Please help if anybody knows how to tune this damn wheel.

Thanks,

50 people saw this and nobody replied. guess there aren't hacks for this.

Anyhow, anybody know how can i get more "bling" on my profile? i have one star, i'm new here, but man, is there a chart to know how many posts i need before i start getting more stars? four gren ones or five shrooms... ? Is there a super advance category not reached yet? 12,000 posts?

i mean, this lone-star thing is pissing me off, we're not in Texas.

But about the click wheel, I guess its one of those things you gotta get used to.

Pretty much all of them since the 2G have been 'zippy'. Just gotta live with it.

Actually, using a case with a click wheel protector (like the iSkin evo3) lessens sensitivity.

cool, ive had 3rd and 4th gen and they scroll nice and clean. the ipod video is just a royal pain, seriously 8 out of 10 times i mess up my selection by one above or below. quite annoying (and dangerous) on a jeep.

Seconded. The buttons on my 3rd gen were so sensitive, I didn't even need to actually touch them - just get near them. One of those thin-skin cases helped tons.
My 5G isn't quite as sensitive as the OP's, but a skin-type case will probably help.
