A mobile terminal having a scroll wheel device and a method for implementing functions using the same are disclosed. The mobile terminal having a scroll wheel device includes a display, the scroll wheel device that senses a user's wheeling operation, a memory that stores data having different menus and associated user interface screens, and a controller that calculates a wheeling distance corresponding to the wheeling operation sensed by the scroll wheel device, searches the data from the memory that corresponds to a menu associated with a wheeling distance range of the calculated wheeling distance, searches the data from the memory that corresponds to a user interface screen associated with the menu, and outputs a first control signal to the display to display the user interface screen. Therefore, it is possible to quickly search menus and conveniently implement the specific function using the scroll wheel device. Also, it is possible to implement the specific function using the scroll wheel device without clicking the function key as the case may be. The scroll wheel could be a touch wheel including a heat sensor. The controller outputs a second control signal when the user releases contact with the touch wheel device.
