There should be a "Secondary Click" setting. Change it to Left .

How can I change default mouse buttons on a non-mac mouse? I have a wireless usb mouse (not bluetooth) that I specifically purchased because it has extra side buttons I want to use to create key-bindings for gaming. There are two Mouse Side Buttons. I was able to change Mouse Side Button two (the most forward one), but Mouse Side Button 1 defaults to the same thing as the F3 Key ("show desktop"). I am trying to figure out how to remove this functionality from the button so I can reassign it to something actually useful. I already have a button on my kepboard for this and would rather assign it to something else. The preferences > Mouse options dont even show side buttons to change so Im not sure where this mouse got the idea that I want that button assigned as an additional F3 key. Any advice would be appreciated. macOS Catalina version 10.15.7 MacBook Pro (16 inch 2019) 2.4 ghz 8 core intel core i9 64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 AMD Radeon Pro 5500m 8 GB Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB

How can I set the scroll direction for mouse and trackpad independently of each other? I want my Macbook's trackpad to scroll inversely from my fingers' movement (what MacOS calls "natural") but also have my mouse wheel to scroll in the same direction as my fingers' scrolling direction. At the moment I can only make it work for one of them, because this setting seems to be shared across both devices, so it's always a hassle no matter what I choose. Am I missing something?
