How do I change the scroll direction of a USB mouse on a Mac mini using Ventura? On my MacBook, there is a setting System Preferences > Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom but I cannot find this on a Mac mini.

You're in the wrong section. It's in Mouse, not Appearance - i.sstatic.net/1Enhf.jpg– TetsujinCommented Sep 22, 2023 at 9:41

If I understand the question correctly, the following works on my 2017 27" Retina 5k iMac running macOS 13.1 Ventura:
Go to "System Settings...-->Mouse-->Natural scrolling" and flip the switch to the way you like it.
Successfully tested using an old USB wired Apple "Mighty Mouse". It should work the same on a Mac mini, although I don't have one to test with (nor do I have a non-Apple wired USB mouse). Also, be sure to scroll all the way down in the "System Settings..." window in order to see the "Mouse" option...

Welcome to Ask Different! I fear the question author doesn't see the 'Mouse' option in System Settings, otherwise it'd be relatively obvious.– Glorfindel ♦Commented Jan 7, 2023 at 18:33

Maybe if you make note in your answer that the OP is in Accessibility and not in the Mouse settings pane.– AllanCommented Jan 7, 2023 at 20:08

1I have gone through all the mouse options as well. It just isn't there. Is this an issue specific to Mac mini? it doesn't have a built-in trackpad or mouse like MacBook Pro. In fact on the Mac mini there is no System Settings > Mouse– morpheusCommented Jan 8, 2023 at 0:28

morpheus - it's hard to prove a negative, but search 'mouse' rather than 'scroll' & see what you find. See apple.stackexchange.com/a/464525/85275– TetsujinCommented Sep 22, 2023 at 10:11
