    “Natural scrolling” or whatever it’s called with track pads on laptops where the scroll goes the opposite way your fingers are moving. I don’t know why that’s the default, it makes no sense.

        Edit: This is meant to be a reply to the scroll wheel thread, I hit the button on the wrong one and am just gonna leave it here

        On a phone you’re actually touching the page and physically moving the page around (not really of course but that’s the action it’s mimicking)

        A scroll wheel is a button-based command, specifically I think it’s literal origin was a different physical space for PgDwn and PgUp

        I can get why people like natural scrolling, sorta, because I invert my axis in some games, but only if they used laptops a lot at some point, as those bridge the gap
