I don't think I'm asking for anything weird here. If I could set them independently, then I would set it to "non-natural" for mouse, and "natural" for Trackpad, and then everything would be correct as far as I'm concerned! The problem would be solved if OS X allowed the "Scroll direction: natural" setting to be made independently for mouse and trackpad. If you set it to non-"natural", the trackpad is wrong and the mouse is right. If you set it to "natural", the mouse is wrong and the trackpad is right. So the problem is that whichever way you set it, something is always broken. drag the page up makes it move up = scroll DOWN)
If you ENABLE "Scroll direction: natural" in System Preferences, then: drag the page up makes it move down = scroll UP) Trackpad scroll direction is INCORRECT (i.e.Mouse scroll direction is CORRECT (i.e.If you DISABLE "Scroll direction: natural" in System Preferences, then: The problem is that it is impossible to get both devices to scroll in standard direction at the same time. But these both control the same setting, so if you change one, the other updates too. There is a setting in OS X to reverse the direction of scrolling under System Preferences > Mouse > Scroll direction: natural, and also under System Preferences > Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom > Scroll direction: natural. This is the way that touch-based surfaces have worked since they first became popular in the mid-2000s. The standard scrolling direction is where you drag the page in the direction you want the page to move (not the direction you want to scroll), so dragging upwards makes the page move upwards, which lets you view content further down the page, so you scroll down. Touch-based surfaces on the other hand generally work on a "drag" paradigm.This is the way that mouse scroll wheels have worked since they were invented in the mid-1990s.
For a mouse, the standard scrolling direction is where you rotate the wheel towards you and the page scrolls down.

I use multiple pointing devices, including a mouse and Apple Magic Trackpad, and it is very frustrating that it is not possible to configure the Mac so that both devices scroll in the standard direction for those device types.īy scroll in the "standard direction" I mean:
