MOS VS SCROLL REVERSER INSTALL
Install and runĭownload the latest release, unzip, and place Scroll Reverser.app in your /Applications folder. See the web home page for the downloads, or the respective labelled branches for the code. Older versions are available for older OS versions down to OS X 10.4. The latest build of Scroll Reverser requires macOS 10.12.6 and above, and is a univeral binary for both Intel and Apple Silicon (M1) Macs. Web home page: (Please note the home page contains additional content about the app, FAQ, changelog etc.) Requirements I've sent feedback to Apple at with a link to this post.Reverses the direction of macOS scrolling, with independent settings for trackpads and mice. Nothing against Scroll Reverser, but I think this is basic functionality that the OS should provide. I like to run a stable rig, and I've learnt that to do this, it's key to stick to the out-of-the-box OS as much as possible, and avoid installing "tweaky" 3rd-party utilities that change the core OS behaviour, unless you really have to.

The fact is I've had a few strange issues in the past that have mysteriously gone away when I did a clean install of OS X. Will the utility work with future versions of the OS? Will the developer still be around to fix issues? Will it conflict with other software? If you need to uninstall, is there an uninstaller and has it been tested with the (future) OS version you're on? However, I've now got to the stage where I'm reluctant to install 3rd-party utilities that change the core behaviour of OS X, even if they appear to work fine now. I used this utility with my old machine, it's a great utility, and it Just Works.

I am aware that there is a utility called "Scroll Reverser", which allows you to set the scroll direction independently for each device: All I want is for a scroll-wheel to behave like a scroll-wheel, and a touch-based surface to behave like a touch-based surface. 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)


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.
MOS VS SCROLL REVERSER MAC
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:
