Natural scrolling makes a lot of sense if you think of the trackpad as a proxy for a touchscreen, it certainly feels more natural to me. Not so much on a mouse wheel.

My problem with natural scrolling is ergonomics: fingers are better suited to pulling than pushing.

They don't all follow that convention. There was one mentioned in the video that doesn't.

I think GP was saying that "all" ratchets (including the one mentioned in the video) have it go one-way to avoid accidentally toggling the direction if you rub it against something (e.g., if you put it in a tight space and bump it against the side as you turn it).

Also, you turn the handle in the desired direction of rotation while holding the lock ring. LTT has decided that the ring is what’s important, not the handle you are turning.

I disagree but good on LTT for making something they want to use. I’ll stick with my Megapro.

This makes a lot of sense.
