Option to separate trackpad and mouse (natural) scroll direction?

I'm aware that there are separate mouse and trackpad options for natural scrolling in the settings.

However, it is the same setting, just one "variable" in the OS and that kind of defeats the purpose of the two separate setting. Becuase:

-If I use the mouse I have to go into the settings and turn it off.

-Then I stop using the mouse, remove it and then I have to go back and turn natural scrolling on for my trackpad


The two setting should be separate, retaining their options separately.


Is there a FREE and lightweight option for this to fix if Apple doesn't want to fix it please?

Like I was able to fix natural alt+tab with alttab application, maybe some pro mac users can recommend such free easy very light-bloatware free app?


But I think this request popping up quiet frequently so Apple should fix this finally.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.2

FWIW, I found a third-party app called UnnaturalScrollWheels which may suit your purpose.

Hi Rudegar,


Yes, I'm aware, and when I bought my Mac back in the day 2020 first time and realized this is a missing feature I've done that really anonim feature request. I doubt there will be anything happening based on that, I mean I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person having this nuisance with the mac since... the beginning of the macs (and I'm a mac user since two years only)? :)


Anyways, yeah no point talking about it then, if no one addressing this forum just us talking. Thanks for the talk. :)
