@smaecks@chaos.social that's why mice don't have a scroll direction switch (with UI, there's one in the registry) but touchpads do and it's independent of mouse scroll direction makeuseof.com/windows-11-chang

@noiob @smaecks i had mice with 2 scroll wheels and mice with left/right-contacts on the vertical wheel: it didn't work for me, even in spreadsheets where it should have been useful, despite not obvious implementation bug, it wasn't able to adopt during all the time. after those devices got old i switched back to conventional scrollwheel mouse.
