Microsoft is improving the Windows 11 Settings interface once again. New mouse options are coming soon, so you won’t have to dig through the Control Panel.

I’ve been waiting years for this. The first thing I do when I configure a fresh Windows 11 PC is disable “enhance pointer precision” inside the ancient Control Panel and reverse my scroll wheel using the registry editor. Soon, I’ll just be able to head into the modern-looking Windows 11 Settings interface to control both of these settings. Windows watcher PhantomOfEarth has discovered that Microsoft is secretly working on adding these options to the Windows 11 Settings interface.

Windows laptop users have been able to reverse the scrolling direction on a touchpad for years, but it’s always puzzled me why desktop PC users have had to resort to registry keys to change something as basic as mouse scrolling direction or rely on a third-party mouse manufacturer to supply software that would enable this. Apple has had this built into macOS for years for mice, typically set to scroll up during a down motion on a mouse wheel.
