Hi,
After upgrading to iPadOS 16, my bluetooth mouse (both) are moving the opposite way. It’s not the scrolling direction but moving in the Y axis moves the cursor on the X axis and vice versa. Anyone with the same problem?
thanks

I found the problem if anyone is having the same.
Apparently, the mouse driver thinks that the iPad is on the long side. I turned the iPad around and it of course works as expected because the mouse was already going the “wrong” way.
Then I turned it back to Landscape and the driver corrected itself. I had restarted the iPad earlier and that didn’t help correcting the orientation.

Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities Moaglm,
The following steps should help:
1: Go to Settings> General, then select Trackpad & Mouse.
2: Turn Natural Scrolling on or off: With this option selected, the contents on the screen move in the same direction as your finger.
For additional information, check out the following page: Change mouse settings on iPad
Take care!
No, as indicated earlier. It is not the scrolling direction. I know about this setting.
Please see the question again.
