Splitting Natural Scrolling Between Trackpad and Mouse

I want Natural Scrolling disabled for my Magic Mouse 2 and enabled for my MacBook's trackpad. How can I accomplish this? If I disable it in the Trackpad, it disables for the mouse too, and vice versa.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.4

mouse and trackpad Is there a way to disable natural scrolling on the mouse while leaving it on for the trackpad? I have a MacBook Air m2, I use both a mouse and the trackpad, switching back and forth between the two. I use natural scrolling for the trackpad and turn it off when using the mouse.

Magic Mouse Horizontal Scroll disable (nowhere to be found!) I am currently using Ventura 13.4 and I find no way to disable the Horizontal scroll on the Magic Mouse. There is one 3rd party app that costs to provide this functionality. However this an Apple Product and they should provide the functionality native in the OS/Drivers. C'mon Apple, fix your software and stop passing off sub-standard products. This is a relatively simple thing to do but the results of not being able to disable horizontal scrolling make the Magic Mouse, IMO, practically useless. Please FIX YOUR CODE!

Allow different "Natural scrolling" bindings for mouse and trackpad. It would be great to add a feature that allows different bindings for an external mouse and trackpad for the "Natural scrolling" setting. I believe that many would agree that "Natural scrolling" enabled works great on the trackpad but feels very unnatural on an external mouse. When I scroll down on the mouse wheel, I expect to scroll down the page rather than up (up is the behavior with "Natural scrolling" enabled). Thus, I would like to keep "Natural scrolling" enabled for the trackpad and disabled for the mouse. This is not currently possible because changing the setting affects BOTH.
