I can't click that box

Hi there, thanks for the great report with GIF.
This is due to a bug in macOS which is happens.
I have some steps for you which ought to resolve it:

  1. Quit Scroll Reverser.
  2. Ensure Scroll Reverser is located in your Applications folder and not in any other location.
  3. Go to System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy → Accessibility.
  4. Use the "–" button to remove Scroll Reverser from the list, then click the "+" to add it back.
  5. Now start Scroll Reverser and it ought to work this time.

Thanks! that fixed the problem

Use the "–" button to remove Scroll Reverser from the list, then click the "+" to add it back.

For me, it was important to do this step for both of Accessibility and Input Monitoring.
