I've used wheel mice on the Mac from the time the Microsoft USB wheel mouse came out, back when there was a Mac driver that controlled classic Mac apps by looking for scroll bars and sending events, licensed from an Italian developer.

I myself added native wheel support to some major Carbon apps, and convinced other engineers to do it, as I was at Microsoft MacBU at the time.

But anyway, when Apple decided that scroll wheels should work the other way around, I gave it a try. I soon acclimatized to it and never had to change the default again. I would recommend all Mac users try out the "natural" setting and see if you get used to it.

Now explain why I HAVE to invert the y-axis in Halo on XBOX (any version of either). I tried but I can not adjust to the default.

I invert the y motion of my mouse too.
