  1. Inconsistent mouse scroll wheel direction when using FlipFlopWheel registry edit


    I followed one of the many tutorials that describe how to flip your mouse scroll wheel direction. Like this one. This edit works wonderfully for all 3rd-party apps I have installed. However, this fix doesn't work with Microsoft apps.

    Works in 3rd-party apps like:

    • Chrome
    • Slack
    • Atom

    Doesn't work in Microsoft apps like:

    • Edge
    • OneNote
    • Windows 10 settings



    In addition, when "Scroll inactive windows when I hover over them" is enabled, the scroll wheel direction will take it's queue from the active window. For example, if OneNote is active and I move the mouse over to Chrome (while OneNote is still active) the scroll direction in Chrome will also be backwards. Conversely, if Chrome is active and I hover over OneNote (while Chrome is active) the scroll wheel direction will be correct (until I make OneNote active). The active window determines the scroll wheel direction.

    • Dell XPS 7590
    • Logitech Performance MX mouse (unifying receiver)
    • Windows 10 (obviously)

    The inconsistency is killing me but I can't handle the Windows default scroll direction (coming from Mac). Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi...

  2. How can I reverse the mouse scroll wheel scroll direction in Windows 10? NOTE SCROLL WHEEL SCROLL WHEEL SCROLL WHEEL NOT TOUCHPAD FFS

    For those wondering... Since it's not mentioned what Registry Key Damian is talking about, Take a look at the blog post done by Kevin Becker called

    Reverse Scrolling on Windows 8
    . This will give you reverse scrolling in most applications in windows 10 even though there isn't a configuration option for it in Control Panel > Mouse & Trackpad Settings.
