Is there a recommended sensitivity level for the mouse wheel? I mention this because my mouse wheel seems to return low input values to LoVE and as a result a number of the games are much slower than intended or even unplayable because of the amount of turning required. Is there some way to get an idea of how the authors had the game calibrated for their mouse wheels?

After mentioning it on discord it seems that some authors used free-scroll mice or touchpad slide gestures which don't have the problem a mousewheel has, that eventually your finger has gone as far as it can and you have to stop to reposition it, so you can only scroll in short bursts. To be fair, a crank would not have that problem, so it is more representative of the actual playdate, but awkward to play if you have a regular mouse.
