Scroll direction problem when switching trackpad between mouse

I have a problem recently. I have to turn on the "scroll direction: natural" option on the trackpad because my brain cells are happy to use it this way.

However, when I connect a mouse, the scroll is reversed and I have to go into the settings again and deactivate the "scroll direction: natural" option.

The problem is that I'm using both and I'm using a hub. Sometimes I have to remove the hub and switch to the trackpad. There has to be a way to automate this.
