MacOS Scroll Direction: “Natural” or “Regular”?

1 pointsby jasonrhaasover 7 years ago
My girlfriend and I are in a fight right now about which scroll direction is proper.<p>I don&#x27;t like the natural scroll direction, because the laptop is not an iPhone or iPad. I view the track pad as a mouse, and the &quot;Natural Scroll&quot; feels backward to me. She says that the &quot;Natural&quot; scroll matches up with all the other devices we use. Which for me is just an iPhone, and a laptop.<p>HN: Which way to you scroll?? Help me resolve this debate.

I&#x27;m a &quot;regular&quot; guy too for the same reasons as you. My scroll wheel on traditional mice dictates how I scroll trackpads.<p>Potentially related datapoint: I hate inverted controls in FPSes too. (Though I use them in dedicated flight sims!)

Fortunately I use trackpads w&#x2F; my two desktop Macs, so of course they are set to match the default MacBook trackpad action.
