My USB Mouse has a problem with being inverted. Which means when move my mouse to the left, it will go to the right, and vice versa. I can't seem to find any setting for this. Does anyone have a solution?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0
That usually means either the mouse is being held reversed, or sometimes that there are add-on drivers getting in the way, or the mouse itself is somehow mis-set or miswired.
Which mouse is this? Vendor and model?
If the mouse shipped with add-on drivers, and if those were installed here, are the most current version drivers installed?
Is the movement direction also still reversed when it’s connected to other computers?

Its very strange, it just suddenly went inverted from one day to another. I didn't get any external software with it.
I have a silver gear gaming mouse 1081. Weird that apple only has settings for scrolling.
I'm not sure regarding your last question, because I don't have any other computer nearby. Could it have to do anything with recent Mac software updates?
that last question was intended as a way determine whether this is the mouse or the Mac.
The Silvergear Gaming Mouse RGB LED 1081 does not appear to use any add-on drivers, so that can’t be the issue here.
Have you previously had other mice with other driver apps loaded?
You can try an SMC reset, if this is an Intel Mac: How to reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support
Also try booting into Safe Mode and testing the mouse there, as Safe Mode disables various add-ons, and rebuilds various caches:

So I've tried the methods you have suggested, didn't work nevertheless. It might just be ****** mouse because it was only 20 euro.
This is the first mouse I've used for this laptop so its probably just the mouse itself.
I'm open to any other suggestions, but I'll probably just have to buy a new mouse.
If you still have the manual for that mouse (and it does not seem to be posted), then see if there’s some button-press sequence available for controlling mouse settings. I’ve seen weirder. Otherwise, check with Silvergear support. Or replace it.
I just tried the mouse on a different laptop and the problem persists, soo its probably just the mouse then.
mouse going opposite direction
