board navigation - reverse mouse wheel zoom direction

This request relates to using Miro with a mouse. Would it be possible for the user to toggle scroll wheel behaviour?

When zooming into a board I prefer to roll the scroll wheel up. After years of CAD drawing this feels most natural. 

I’ve taken to using MOS to reverse scroll direction, which makes navigating Miro a much more satisfying experience. It produces a minor issue in that dropdown menus (e.g. for fonts) and settings screens scroll incorrectly, but this is tolerable.

I’d be interested to hear whether having such functionality within Miro would be helpful for others.

Was it helpful?

I use several apps where I can configure the zoom scroll wheel direction. I agree that it would be great if Miro did as well so that they were all consistent.

+1 for me 


I work in design and the reverse zoom in Miro bugs me every time.


+1. Figma allows me to reverse the direction to be natural too, but not Miro


+1 It’s pretty hard to use the tool right now because I can’t switch the zoom direction… throws me off every time.


+1 I jump between design apps and Miro and the change of direction is unpleaseant. Especially if I present something to the clients and scroll wrong the whole time.

I work in Figma with inverted zoom. This creates a jarring experience every time I use Miro. Would love an option to invert the zoom direction in the Miro app!
