Scrolling direction?

Though I'm sure you can change that in the parameters somewhere.

Of course you can. You can also, I think, reverse trackpad scrolling on Windows.

However, I dislike the fact that on MacOs they call the setting "natural scrolling" and that they enable it by default for any trackpad you hook up.

Moreover, since the "Magic Mouse" is basically a mouse with a trackpad for a scrolling wheeel, they also enable reverse scrolling by default for any mouse.

It's unnatural for anyone that grew up with mice and trackpads.

It's 100% natural for phones. Most people don't realize "natural scrolling" on OSX is phone scrolling.

Makes sense when you realize they ripped the magic trackpad code out of iOS's touch screen event handler.

Yes, you can reverse it on Windows. I should know, Windows 10 activated 'natural' scrolling on my touchpad when I upgraded. I'm really not sure why.
