Seems to me that would be a very simple fix and would make everyone happy. What I do not understand is why the companies that make these scroll wheel mice do not just readjust their software to make the scroll wheel direction programable. Muscle memory seems to have a life of its own. For those of you that play golf and formed bad habits and then try to retrain yourself to undo those bad habits you know how difficult that can be. The problem in getting used to something new from what we've been doing for years is not always that easy or sometimes possible as we have what is known as muscle memory. I for one am trying to get used to it and am having a difficult time. (You may need to scroll down.) When your Mac is connected to a display, click its name on the right to set options for it. Some have told us in so many words to get used to it. To change these settings, choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Displays in the sidebar. Since the Mountain Lion upgrade many of us found that the scroll wheel now works in the opposite direction. While I understand what Apple is trying to do with scrolling my experiece tells me that Apple has little sympathy for those of us that have been using a third party scroll wheel mouse and should they have sympathy that is? I, for one, have been happily using a third party scroll wheel mouse for many years with no problem. Then this type of scrolling will seem natural to you.Ĭonversly with traiditional scrolling you are moving the text up and now and not the paper behind it. I use the regularl scrolling at work on PC's and now I can transition without even thinking about it.īasically think about it like you are moving the paper that the text is on and NOT the text itself (Or Web page). It took me about a month and now I wont' go back. It drove me nuts but once I realized what Apple was doing, it quite frankly does make more sense. This is Natural and this is the thinking behind the iOS and the new "Natural Scrolling" that Apple has enabled. You'll find that you have to move your fingers up to move the sheet up so that you can read futher down the sheet. Now try to move the paper and up and down against that surface. Take a sheet of paper and put it on you desk (yes, a real sheet of paper, not a virtual one and a real desk!). The reason that apple calls this "Natural" scolling is because it is natural.
