The scroll wheel is driving me crazy or I got a bad one? When I rolled it down, the page went up,and when I rolled it up, the page went down. It just went the opposite way compared to the normal mouse I use. It is driving me crazy.

When the mouse's scroll wheel is pressed the standard mouse arrow is replaced by a circle with four arrows and a dot in the middle. In this mode the scrolling function responds to the movement of the mouse and overrides the scroll wheel. Pressing the scroll wheel again goes back to default mode. Hope this helps.

I had the same issue. I had to go into settings under mouse and change the default. Now its great and I don't have to try to remember which way to scroll.

You must have a bad mouse because I'm not experiencing nothing like you are describing.

Scrolling direction should be able to be changed in your system preferences, at least it can in my Macbook Pro. Default seems to be the way you described though.

My mouse works well with small movements and a light touch with the fingertips. As with any scroll button, you roll it toward you, or down, to move the page up, and away from you, or up, to move the page down. You may just be overthinking it.

BobW · Answer

You can set the scroll wheel either way.
tap the window button and type "mouse settings" locate the option you want and go from there.
