How to use the weapon-wheel with a mouse

pcwatch-dogs

I'm playing the first mission in watch_dogs on PC and it asks me to graft a distraction and throw it onto the wall when hiding behind a desk.

However, the weapon wheel is incredibly difficult to select the right option from with a mouse. I'm guessing it's made for a thumbstick where you can rotate the thumbstick to select an option. However with no cursor, when I move the mouse around, the weapon wheel seemingly jumps randomly to different options.

How can I control the weapon wheel accurately to select the option I want easily, every time?

You have to move the mouse in a circular motion to cycle through all the equipment available, just like a thumbstick. The scroll wheel up or down select the weapons in their slots. Alternatively you can use the arrow keys to cycle through the equipment and select the weapons.
