  2. How do I change scroll direction of a mouse NOT listed under Mice?

    Thanks; yes, those are great directions and did work to change the direction of the wired mouse that came with the computer. But the mouse I'm using doesn't show up as a mouse in the hardware list, so I can't follow the rest of those steps. I need the mouse to appear on the list of mice in order to complete this sequence.

  5. Cannot change speed of Horizontal Scrolling in Windows 10

    As I explained, I installed the updated drivers for the mouse already.

    It seems to be a problem in Windows that is not taking into account my setting for horizontal scroll speed. Every aspect of the mouse works as expected, including rebinding buttons and macros, but when I scroll horizontally it will only ever scroll one
    character at a time. The setting to change scroll speed is in Windows, not the mouse driver software.
