Some Logitech models (possibly not all) have a "high resolution" scroll wheel which reports events differently. Out of the box it's off, but it can be enabled on windows with the provided software. Not sure if windows by itself can enable it. I'm also not sure what the situation is on the mac.

A quick search didn't yield any interesting info on this, it's mostly articles about its support on linux (spoiler: it's been deactivated).
