I am using a Magic Trackpad and Logitech LX7 on a MacPro 1,1 running Lion.
I have tried (using System Preferences for mouse and trackpad) to revert the scroll wheel action to scroll in the "old" direction but when I try that the trackpad scrolling direction also changes.
Is there a way to decouple the scrolling direction of the trackpad and mouse wheel?
Mac OS X (10.7), Mac Pro, MacBook Air, iPad 2
I'd like to know if there is a solution for this as well. I've been on several other forums and "how to"s -- but they mostly claim that the mouse direction and trackpad direction are not linked, but that really doesn't seems to be the case for me.
I am with you both too. I like natural scrolling on my trackpad, but not on a scroll ball for a mouse. The only solution I can find is what someone else brought up in a different thread: there is an app called "Scroll Reverser" that lets you choose which input devices (mouse, trackpad, or tablet) are reversed. Be warned, it is quite confusing to get set up. At least it was for me. But It is working fine now and is just what I wanted.

p.s. if this solves your problem, don't forget to mark your problem as "Solved" so others can find the answer too.
Many, many thanks. This solved the issue.
I am a recent Mac OSX user who has been on Win for 20 years, so this really could have been a show stopper for my future exploration of OSX.
I now have to figure out how I can use a standard PC mouse left thumb button to navigate backwards in web and Finder.
Thanks.
bump; do want!
