Mouse and trackpad scroll direction

[inkswamp]

I recently set my Macbook Air up with an external monitor so I can dock it and use it as a desktop machine with a mouse and am currently struggling with the terrible design of Apple's mouse/trackpad control panel. It appears the "natural scroll direction" setting between the two are linked and you cannot uncouple them and set the mouse and trackpad separately. That means I have to go into the panel and change it when moving from desktop to laptop. I find it hard to believe that Apple did such an idiotic thing in linking these settings.

Does anyone have a good workaround or even a third-party app to fix this idiocy? Any way to force the mouse and trackpad to hold their own scroll direction setting.

Scroll Reverser.

Scroll Reverser.

I've been Googling for something like this and it never came up in the results. Thank you!

I have a similar gripe and found this: MOS

Anybody else have experience w/ either Scroll Reverser or MOS?

Since the're not on the App Store, I'm a little leery about putting 3rd party software on my Mac; especially if I can't find a lot on this forum.

Thanks.

Scroll Reverser seems to be the simpler of the two, which is exactly what you're asking for.
