How to set reverse scrolling of surface arc touch bluetooth mouse???

Hello,

I am wanting to change the scrolling direction of the Surface arc Bluetooth mouse and cannot find a way to do this. I see this is easily done on the touch pad (all we need to do is toggle the reverse scrolling switch) but I see no option for the Bluetooth mouse. I like the natural scrolling of the touchpad, but the mouse is automatically set to do the opposite (scroll downwards brings page down) - very annoying. Any advice please? Thank you.

    This app doesn't work.  Doesn't connect to Arc mice.  Completely useless.

    that app

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/arc-touch-bluetooth-mouse/9wzdncrfjblk?rtc=1

    seems to be for the older Surface Arc Touch Mouse with the discreet touch strip

    running down the middle and NOT the newest Surface Arc Mouse

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/d/surface-arc-mouse/8p5sv2rx3rn5/GGLX

    customers are looking to set reverse scrolling on the newest mouse and there

    does not appear to be an app that can do this.

    >> we suggest downloading the Arc Touch Mouse Surface Edition Settings App

    I downloaded the app mentioned above, but got the following error message:

    "The requested operation requires elevation"

    Thanks to all on this thread. I'll just say that the fact that we need to download an app in order to adjust a very basic setting seems. . .archaic.

    Hi Sam,

    Arc Touch Mouse offers four-way touch scrolling that lets you scroll either vertically or horizontally by using a sleek touch strip on the mouse. To manage the settings of the Arc Touch Mouse with your Surface, we suggest downloading the Arc Touch Mouse Surface Edition Settings App. Here’s how:

    1. Open Store.
    2. In the search bar, enter Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse.
    3. Select the tile for the app, then click Get.

    For your reference, we suggest that you check this article: Set up Wedge Touch Mouse and Arc Touch Mouse for Surface.
