Активация обратной прокрутки в Windows

Каким боком сегодняшняя хитрость относится к нашему сайту? На первый взгляд, никаким. Но если на вашем Маке в разделе Boot Camp живёт Windows, то вы уже наверняка заметили, что в Microsoft менять направление скроллинга мыши и трекпада не планировали и не собираются. Из-за этого получается, что в Mac OS X контент в окнах будет следовать за движением пальца (т.е. reverse scrolling), а в Windows вы будете двигать ползунок на экране, а сам контент будет ехать в другую сторону.

В общем, если перестроиться с одного подхода к управлению мышью на другой у вас не получается, пора переходить к решительным действиям. Есть два пути (вариант с удалением Windows и её переносом в виртуальную машину рассматривать не будем):

• отключить обратный скроллинг в Lion или Mountain Lion. Это делается в настройках системы, в пультах «Мышь» и «Трекпад» соответственно
• включить обратный скроллинг в Windows. Как ни странно, там для этого предусмотрен параметр в системном реесте, правда, найти его — отдельное приключение

Поскольку лёгких путей мы не ищем, сегодня мы расскажем о второй альтернативе — активации обратного скроллинга в Windows.

Для начала вам нужно будет попасть в Диспетчер устройств, например, это можно сделать через Панель управления. В Диспетчере загляните в секцию «Мыши и иные указывающие устройства»:

В списке устройств выберите вашу мышь двойным кликом. Перейдите на вкладку «Сведения», в выпадающем списке вам нужен будет пункт «ИД оборудования»:

Обратите внимание на первую строку, начиная с букв VID (например, VID_203A&PID_FFFC&REV_0100&MI_01). Запомните эту комбинацию.

На клавиатуре нажмите Command+R, в открывашемся окошке введите regedit и нажмите Enter. Откроется редактор реестра Windows. Слева выберите ветку HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HID. Вы увидите список мышей и трекпадов, обозначенных комбинациями VID, PID и MI. Вам нужно будет опознать здесь настраиваемое устройство:

Внутри устройства вы можете обнаружить ещё несколько папок. В каждой из них нужно зайти внутрь папки Device Parameters и изменить значение параметра FlipFlopWheel с 0 на 1. После перезагрузки в Windows заработает обратный скроллинг.

How to reverse mouse and touchpad scrolling direction on Windows 10

On Windows 10, the mouse and touchpad are essential input devices that make easy navigation and interaction with the elements on the screen possible.

The only caveat is that they come with a default scrolling direction (scroll down to move up), even though it works for most users, it’s not a preference that everyone agrees to or needs.

If you use a touchpad with your laptop or a mouse with your desktop, and you rather see pages move up as you scroll up for a more natural experience, you can reverse the scrolling direction using the Settings app, or modifying the Registry in the case of a mouse.

In this Windows 10 guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to reverse the scrolling direction of your touchpad or mouse.

How to reverse touchpad scrolling direction on Windows 10

Important: The reverse scrolling option is only available for devices with a precision touchpad. If the option isn’t available, you may still be able to change the scrolling behavior using the manufacturer software for the peripheral.

Under the «Scroll and zoom» section, use the drop-down menu to select the Down motion scrolls down option.

Once you complete the steps, using the scrolling up gestures on your touchpad will scroll pages in the downward direction for a more natural experience.
