Can't change Magic Trackpad settings I've added a Magic Trackpad to my MacBook Pro set up. Ventura 13.3.1. I can control the settings of my built-in track pad but not the Magic Trackpad. I've tried: 1) turning off and on my MacBook, my Magic Trackpad, and unpairing and repairing. 2)I've clicked Settings>Trackpad and played around. I've clicked Set Up Bluetooth Trackpad and then clicked the "i" next to the device, then clicked Trackpad Settings from there, which only loops me back to the built in trackpad settings. 3)I went into Accessibility>Pointer Control and there selected to "ignore built-in trackpad" and that hasn't worked either. If I select "Trackpad Options" there a window pops up, but none of the controls there affect the function of my Magic Trackpad. The only way I can affect the settings of my Magic Trackpad are by clicking Mouse. By adjusting the Tracking Speed there I can affect the tracking speed of my Magic Trackpad. That's it. I have all of the settings for my built-in trackpad just the way I like them. How do I get my Magic Trackpad to adopt those settings? Thank you!

Trackpad and mouse scrolling Hi, MacOS 12.5.1 I have a MacBook Air and a Magic Mouse. I settings, I want the trackpad to have natural scrolling (not sure what the correct English term is) and the mouse not natural scrolling. But when I change it in either mouse or trackpad setting, it applies to both. So I can't have mouse on not natural and trackpad on natural. Bug or do I do something wrong?

If you have not changed the scroll setting in System Settings, slide 2 fingers up on the track pad to scroll down.

If you find that un-intuitive, you can go to System Settings ➜ Trackpad ➜ Scroll & Zoom and turn off Natural Scrolling.
