It has two wheels. The one on the side works generates up-arrow/down arrow when used, and now also events on /dev/mouse0. The other is a wheel above the keys, lying on the side. Logitech apparently meant it to be used as a volume control, which should be possible now that it attaches to /dev/mouse0. Note that /dev/mice isn't always the answer - dual seat machines need to separate the various mice and keyboards.
