Disable mouse wheel integration in Android emulator

Is it possible to disable mouse wheel scrolling in AVD? Because I am using apple magic mouse and almost every mouse touch (not click - just touch) acts as click in Emulator and it drives me crazy.

Same thing is happening even on BlueStacks emulator but I do not use it for now.

Thanks

How do I disable my Mouse wheel?

Open the Registry Editor by clicking Start and typing regedit and hit enter. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop and set WheelScrollChars and WheelScrollLines to 0. A reboot is necessary for this to take affect. This will disable scrolling, not the button itself.

How do you use two fingers on Android emulator?

It is possible to simulate two-finger multi-touch input by holding the Alt/Option key and clicking on the screen. To simulate a pinch-zoom press and hold the Alt/Option button and drag towards the centre of the screen (for zoom out) or away from the centre of the screen (for zoom in).

To expand on the accepted answer: While your emulator is running, you should have a narrow panel next to it with buttons for rotating the screen etc. At the bottom of this is an overflow menu which takes you to "extended controls". The Settings page in here contains the fabled "Disable mouse wheel" switch.

This used to drive me insane - the idea that it is an acceptable default behaviour is ridiculous. Anyway, the switch works and now I can use my emulator again!
