Apple's idea of "natural scrolling direction" is insane.
Scrolling with a touchpad and scrolling with with a mouse wheel are simply different things - the natural direction is simply different for both.
- turtlebits 3y agoYou can easily change that under mouse settings. I'm not sure it's insane as my kid is fine with it as he's never used the opposite.
- siriusfeynman 3y agothe "natural scroll direction" is shared for mice and the trackpad, so you can't have mice and the trackpad scroll different without third party software
- Toutouxc 3y ago> natural direction is simply different for both That’s 100 % subjective. There’s not a single reason why sliding your finger on a mechanical movable surface should behave differently than sliding it on a touch sensitive surface. You’re used to it behaving differently and that’s fine, but I prefer to have the same behavior for both and neither of us is right or wrong.
- eviks 3y agoBut of course there is a reason- wheel is mentally mapped to the windows' scroll bar Touch pad is mentally mapped to the view/document like on a phone Calling it subjective doesn't eliminate it
- Toutouxc 3y agoDefinitely not mentally mapped for me, so it’s subjective.
- stunt 3y agoSubjective or not, it definitely doesn't make sense to lock them together. If you change one, the other will also change. The fact that it doesn't allow me to have different settings for the mouse and trackpad doesn't make sense to me.
