If you’re a proud owner of a Logitech mouse and an iPad, you may have noticed that the scrolling direction on your mouse is different from what you’re used to on your computer. This can be frustrating and may take some time to get used to. But don’t worry, in this article, we’ll show you how to change the scroll direction on your Logitech mouse for your iPad.
Understanding the Issue
Before we dive into the solution, it’s important to understand why the scrolling direction on your Logitech mouse is different on your iPad. This is because of the difference in the operating systems. On a computer, the scrolling direction is set to “natural” by default, meaning when you scroll up, the page moves up and when you scroll down, the page moves down. However, on an iPad, the scrolling direction is set to “unnatural” by default, meaning when you scroll up, the page moves down and when you scroll down, the page moves up. This is to mimic the scrolling experience on a touchscreen device.
Changing the Scroll Direction
To change the scroll direction on your Logitech mouse for your iPad, you’ll need to download the Logitech Options software on your computer. This software allows you to customize the settings of your Logitech mouse. Once you have downloaded the software, follow these steps:
Step 1: Connect Your Mouse to Your Computer
Connect your Logitech mouse to your computer using the USB receiver or Bluetooth connection.
Step 2: Open Logitech Options
Open the Logitech Options software on your computer. If you don’t have the software, you can download it from the Logitech website.
Step 3: Select Your Mouse
In the Logitech Options software, select your mouse from the list of connected devices.
Step 4: Click on “Point and Scroll”
Under the “Point and Scroll” tab, you’ll see an option for “Scroll direction.” Click on it to open the drop-down menu.
Step 5: Change the Scroll Direction
In the drop-down menu, you’ll see two options: “Natural” and “Unnatural.” Select the option that you prefer and click “Apply.”
Testing the Changes
To test if the changes have been applied, disconnect your Logitech mouse from your computer and connect it to your iPad. Open any app or webpage and try scrolling. The scrolling direction should now be changed according to your preference.
