Inverted Scrolling Does Not Work with Magic Mouse

The checkbox for inverted scrolling does not work to invert the scrolling of my magic mouse. It does not work with the alternative detection method either.

I'm using a Magic Trackpad and this tool is not working to invert my scrolling either. I've previously been using ScrollReverser by pilot moon (https://pilotmoon.com/scrollreverser/), but the latest macOS release (12.2) has bricked the scroll inversion in Safari. Perhaps this app is having the same issue?

There is currently a Beta available for Scroll-Reverser, which resolves the Issue for me. To install it, just check the “Beta-Version”-button in the setting of the app.

This isn't possible with the way the app works. It reads checks values that are always zero from traditional scroll wheel mice but non-zero on touch devices (like the magic mouse and magic trackpad) to differentiate a scroll wheel mouse vs a touch based input. I'm not sure how scroll-reverser accomplishes differentiating mice touch devices vs trackpads or external trackpads vs the internal trackpad. It must be checking for whether the device is the internal track pad or an external input device?

If you want both mice and touch pad to have "natural" scrolling you can change that for both in System Preferences. However turning it off for mice (where "unnatural" scrolling makes sense, at least with physical wheels) also changes it for trackpads (where natural scrolling makes sense), which is why this app was made.

In my opinion the app is working as intended since all touch devices should have "natural" scrolling and physical wheels should be "unnatural" because the wheel inverts the scroll direction if you think of the input device sitting "on top" of ther content. The wheel inverts the direction and a touch device doesn't. Here's visual to explain what I mean:
