Change mouse-scrolling behavior in OS X 10.12 (Siera) or later
In Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) and later, Apple changed the default scrolling behavior of human-interface tracking devices (mice and trackpads). Scrolling now follows mouse and trackpad movements (scrolling down now tracks a document "up" much like on the iPhone and iPad). This tutorial will explain how to disable this feature and return tracking to its previous behavior.
Instructions
- Navigate to System Preferences under the Apple menu in the upper left-hand portion of your screen.
- Select the Mouse or Trackpad reference option.
- Deselect the option labeled Scroll Direction: natural.
