1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a display; and
one or more processors configured to:
control the display to display a user interface (UI) screen including a plurality of graphical user interface (GUI) items and a focus GUI located on a first GUI item from the plurality of GUI items,
identify, based on at least one of a rotation distance or a rotation speed of a wheel input, an input type of the wheel input from a plurality of input types of wheel inputs,
based on identification of the wheel input as a first input type, control the display to provide a first UI feedback to at least one of the first GUI item, a second GUI item corresponding to the rotation direction of the wheel input, or the focus GUI, the first input type identified based on a movement of the wheel from a start point in a first direction and a return of the wheel to the start point in a second direction opposite to the first direction in which a tick input corresponding to the movement of the wheel is less than a threshold number,
based on identification of the wheel input as a second input type, control the display to move the focus GUI to the second GUI item and display the focus GUI, and
based on identification of the wheel input as a third input type, control the display to provide a second UI feedback to the focus GUI while continuously moving the focus GUI sequentially through the plurality of GUI items corresponding to the rotation direction of the wheel input.
