Set different scroll directions per device Ubuntu 18.04 Gnome

I'm using a mouse keyboard combo as my main input device for my workstation.



The PC is also connected to my TV. When watching TV I like to use a cheap keyboard with touchpad. It does not have a brand, but on the back it says:



Wireless Keyboard
Model: ST-WK600
Art. nr.: IW.48.788


Since I am used to "natural scrolling" on my macbook, I would also like to use that for my touchpad.



However, I would like the mouse to behave like it does by default.



gnome-control-center only shows one setting for both mouse and touchpad. Is there a possibility to set scrolling behaviour per device?

EDIT:
hwinfo --short output, cut down to relevant sections.



As you can see it includes my Logitech keyboard, MCE USB receiver and unknown: Keyboard controller, which I suspect is the keyboard touchpad combo, because there is no touchpad section and /dev/input/mice only lists one device.

          You can get more info for each ID, for example, xinput -list-props 10. See xinput manpage, maybe you can set "natural scrolling" property as you need.
