How to reverse mouse scroll direction in left-right axis on Windows 10

I recently installed Windows on bootcamp on my Mac and immediately realised the the mouse scroll directions are opposite in Windows.

  • In Windows: Scroll in the direction you want your eyes to go (I opposite to the direction you want the page to move)
  • On Mac OS X: Scroll in the direction you want the page to go.

On Windows 10 there is a fix for vertical scrolling

But many apps (e.g. Excel) allow two-direction scrolling with a mouse that allows that (e.g. Apple Magic Mouse).

How do I reverse the right-left scroll direction as well so that it is consistent with the Mac OS X option above?

    Hi, I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.
    Unfortunately, there is no full support for the Magic Mouse on Windows, so it doesn't work on Windows as it works on macOS.

    There is a third-party application that can make the Magic Mouse behave consistently the way you want, but unfortunately, it is a paid application with a free trial.
