Switch Windows virtual desktops with the mouse wheel (tiny free tool)

Virtual desktops are great… until you have to switch them. Task View or keyboard shortcuts work, but they’re not as natural as the mouse.

If you want a smoother workflow, there’s a tiny app called Desktop Switcher. Once installed, it lets you:

  • move your mouse to the bottom edge of the screen
  • scroll the mouse wheel
  • slide through Windows virtual desktops

It feels like a native gesture.

Where to get it: Microsoft Store → Desktop Switcher (free).
