Is there something specific here that's not just toggling the scroll direction to the right value in window's settings menu? It's had it for years at this point.

For me at least, you're fighting against decades of habitual usage. I have a mental model for how I expect my controls to work. I could switch - but I see zero value in doing so (what's the upside?) and a whole lot of wasted effort.
It's like a controller - Inverted exists. I understand that some folks like it. There are rare cases (usually when controlling an aircraft) in games when I might choose to use it. But by far and large... I just do not want an inverted controller. It's making me think harder for zero net benefit (and much worse in game results...).

- pimlottc 3y agoOn Windows 11, you can’t toggle the scroll wheel direction without registry edit permission. And for USB devices, there’s a unique key for every possible USB port it’s connected to.
