I'm experiencing wonky behavior using a Mac to remote into a Windows 7 PC using Microsoft's Remote Desktop app for the Mac, and using a Magic Trackpad 2 as my primary input device. The problems arise primarily when scrolling in various applications in Windows. It appears the Magic Trackpad is flooding windows with scroll events, causing unpredictable behavior in many applications. Some scroll ok, others whip around or back and forth, or stutter uncontrollably. I probably need to find a way to "filter" out this flood of scroll events into something more manageable by Windows, but I am unaware of any existing apps or utilities to do so? Has anyone else experienced this issue and/or have any potential solutions to it?

Slide two fingers up or down to scroll. Pinch with two fingers to zoom in or out. Move two fingers around each other to rotate a photo or other item. Swipe left or right with two fingers to show the previous or next page.
When remoting into a desktop from an Android phone or tablet, the default mode of control will be touch mode. Tapping will translate to a mouse left click on the remote desktop, and tap-and-dragging will translate to scrolling on the remote desktop.
Place two fingers on the MacBook trackpad and scroll in the direction you want to go. This must be done using two fingers, no need to click down either, just slide your fingers up or down in the direction you want to go. To scroll horizontally, just swipe two fingers sideways.
On the Mac side, pay attention to the speed part in the trackpad settings. Here I suggest you bring it to the fastest. Also, in the remote (windows) machine, increase the line per speed from default 3 to 10 And again, on the windows side, set the mouse speed to the fastest in the additional options section.

One of a kind workaround that I came up recently is to decrease the number of lines for one notch of the mouse wheel.
P.S. For some reason the "Wheel" tab is not visible when I'm connected via MS RDP client, but available for the beta version (Version 10.1.5 (866)).
