How can I fix inverted scrolling on my iPad external mouse?

Hello,


I have an iPad that I connect to an external display. While connected I love to use an external mouse and keyboard connected by bluetooth. However, the scrolling on the mouse is inverted.


The settings->General-> Mouse and trackpad has a toggle for natural scrolling.

However, I don’t like to keep change it when Im using a trackpad vs mouse.


Is there a way to adjust Natural scrolling for the mouse and trackpad separately.

Insofar as is understood, Natural Scrolling for external pointing-devices is global for both Trackpad and Mouse.
