  1. Reversing mouse scroll direction AND letting it stay that way forever


    So reversing the mouse scroll direction did work when I followed the instructions on this forum regarding the issue some time last year, but it automatically resets when I re-plug in my mouse and it's quite annoying to go through those numerous steps each time I reconnect my mouse. Is there a way to either have the settings stay that way, or have some very simple shortcut created in the settings menu or something? I also noticed that my computer seems to recognize the same mouse as a different mouse every time I reconnect.

    :)

  2. Reverse the scroll of mouse

    I am using a logitech M705 mouse. On my mac the scroll button is reversible. This does not appear to be the case on my windows machine. Where can I find the option to reverse the scrolling direction of my mouse in windows 10?

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

    Thanks - that should be helpful to others who have found this thread. It's exactly what I had already done. Well, almost - my Synaptics driver calls it ClickPad Settings instead of TouchPad settings, and the "Enable reverse scrolling direction" is listed
    under MultiFinger Gestures/Two-FInger Scrolling, not under a separate scrolling menu (which doesn't exist for me.)

    The problem is, once I do this, it works fine - the reverse scrolling direction stays off while my computer is on, which is exactly what I want. My problem is that I have to do this every time I restart or turn off my computer - the setting doesn't get
    saved. This is a new problem with Windows 10.

    Synaptic touchpad scroll direction not consistently reversed in Windows 10

    I bought a new laptop with Windows 10 and am having issues with the Synaptic touch pad.

    By default, two-finger swiping on the touchpad scrolled like a Mac (i.e. the scroll bars move against the direction your fingers move in). That's the opposite of what I like, so I went into the Synaptics ClickPad Settings (via the icon in the tray), and into the Two-Finger Scrolling properties (the properties button "conveniently" doesn't appear until you focus the row), and unticked the "Enable reverse scrolling direction" option.

    This worked, except for two problems:

    1. Whenever I restart, the setting reverts. It's not being saved properly.
    2. In the start menu, and other metro-windows-8-tablet-tile-thingy-style places, it still scrolls in the wrong direction! (But things in desktop-land are fine.)

    Any suggestions? Registry keys to tweak? Updates to install?

    The machine in question is an HP Spectre x360, if that happens to matter.
