    “Natural scrolling” or whatever it’s called with track pads on laptops where the scroll goes the opposite way your fingers are moving. I don’t know why that’s the default, it makes no sense.

        Yeah, it makes perfect sense on phones. But for whatever reason the disconnect between the trackpad and laptop screen really screws with my brain. It’s like if you tried to drag the scrollbar and it went in the opposite direction you’re dragging it.

        Edit: This is meant to be a reply to the scroll wheel thread, I hit the button on the wrong one and am just gonna leave it here

        On a phone you’re actually touching the page and physically moving the page around (not really of course but that’s the action it’s mimicking)

        A scroll wheel is a button-based command, specifically I think it’s literal origin was a different physical space for PgDwn and PgUp

        I can get why people like natural scrolling, sorta, because I invert my axis in some games, but only if they used laptops a lot at some point, as those bridge the gap
