MacOS – How to turn off scroll for page navigation on the mouse, but not the trackpad

gesturemacosmousetrackpad

On my Macbook pro I frequently use an external mouse while working. When the option to use the "Swipe Between Pages" gesture is enabled, it also makes horizontal scrolling on my mouse do the same thing.

I like the feature on the trackpad, but not on the mouse. Is there a way to restrict this gesture to certain devices or in some other way turn it off ONLY for the mouse?

Using Sierra 10.12.6 with internal trackpad and Logitech MX Master with "Logitech Options" software.

It looks like the solution in this case was to turn down the sensitivity on the side scroll wheel for the mouse. This way you must scroll very quickly before it reads as a swipe.
