There is still no way to change scroll direction of mouse and trackpad independently?

Yeah, I suspect that the OP is in a very select group where this is concerned.

If I remember correctly there were a couple 32 bit third-party apps that could accomplish it. Of course that was quite awhile ago. I use trackpads on my laptops and mice on my desktops. I bought a Trackpad long ago for one of my iMacs, one with batteries and no force touch. I didn't like it much.

When I got my very first computer (Mac LC), I had just injured my right shoulder. Using a mouse for very long hurt. So, I started using the mouse with my left hand and still do to this day on my work (Windows) machines.

FWIW, I much prefer the force touch trackpads. I have an Asus laptop and a MacBook Air without one. I always feel like I need to hit them with a hammer to click. :P Thankfully I have no such problem with my M1 MackBook Air.

Yes. It's really still not possible.

You can let Apple know it's something you'd like to see here:

Product Feedback - Apple

Perhaps if enough people do, they will consider such a feature.

This is only the second post I've seen. There are probably a few others.

I haven't used a mouse with a Mac in..... more than a decade so, it's not a question that would even occur to me. Once I moved to MacBooks (of various types), I never looked back.

FWIW, there is an app called Scroll Reverser. No idea if it works in Ventura.
