"Inverse scrolling for normal mice only" seems to affect accessibility apps for scrolling

Bugs or Unexpected Behavior
1

Describe the bug
Inverse scrolling not only affects mice but also some accessibility apps for scrolling (which probably emit the same thing as mice).

Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.):

Normal Mouse

Device information:

  • Type of Mac: MacBook Pro
  • macOS version: Tahoe 26.2
  • BetterTouchTool version: 6.183

Would it be possible to limit this inverse scrolling behavior to physical mice or specific device identifiers?

2

are you using the reverse scroll direction modifier or the old reverse scroll direction option in the settings ? the modifier allows to only apply to normal mice - however if the accessibility apps pose as normal mouse this might not help. Applying to specific device identifiers is not possible unfortunately

Thanks for the prompt response. I tried both the old option and the modifier, and they behaved the same way.

Unfortunately then you are most likely out of luck. What accessibility tool is it? (Maybe it marks the events somehow so I could filter them).

You could try to check this option, but most likely that won't help either:
