This is a registry property that, when set to 1, reverses the value sent by the HID (Natural scrolling).

This does the following:

1. Scans through all currently connected hardware input devices' registry values.
2. Checks if the registry value has a FlipFlopWheel property and is set to 0.
3. Returns a list of all registry values that meets the criteria.

ForEach-Object { Set-ItemProperty $_.PSPath FlipFlopWheel 1 }

This command sets the FlipFlopWheel value For each object in the list to 1. This turns on Natural Scrolling.
