Radar Mouse Knowledge Base
Mouse scrolling and trackpad behavior.
How do I get started with Radar Mouse?
Find the menu bar controls, grant Accessibility access, and check your first scroll-direction choices.
How do I set different scroll directions for my mouse and trackpad?
Choose Natural or Reverse for each connected device, understand the system baseline, and keep choices across reconnects.
How do I stop accidental trackpad input while using a mouse?
Manually turn the built-in MacBook trackpad shortcut on or off, restore input, and understand the saved native setting.
How do I start Radar Mouse at login or quit it?
Open the secondary-click menu, manage Launch at Login, and understand what closing or quitting changes.
Why are the scroll controls greyed out or showing the wrong choice?
Separate permission problems, stale highlights, unexpected direction, and scroll reversal that does not take effect.
Why is a device missing or using the wrong saved direction?
Check live detection, connection identities, shared device entries, and limits of matching scroll events to devices.
How do I temporarily stop reversal and return to macOS scrolling?
Compare the system baseline, stop Radar Mouse without changing saved choices, or make connected devices follow macOS.
Which permissions and local settings does Radar Mouse use?
Understand Accessibility access, local direction memory, the native trackpad setting, and how to stop or revoke scroll control.
Why is Disable trackpad missing or not taking effect?
Check when the shortcut appears, reconcile the switch with System Settings, and restore trackpad input.
