Mouse wheel not behaving properly

Hi all, 

I've searched and tried various things but I'm having the oddest behavior with my mouse wheel scroll being passed from VMware Fusion to my Win10 guest.  Things i've tried:  re-installing vmware tools, modifying the guest lines per scroll, changed mouse driver, uninstall the HID mouse device.  There are more but those are the big ones

I put a mouse event logger (just simple python script) that logs out what the VM guest "sees" on each scroll and i see that events get passed twice most of the time (say 95% of the time).  I also randomly (meaning, i don't know when it'll happen) see the scroll wheel will pass horizontal scrolls to the Win10 guest (always right horizontal scrolls).

Anyone have experience with this or thoughts on resolving?

Just wanted to post a resolution here for informational purposes.

VMWare Fusion 12.x

Host/Guest OS:  MacOS Mont (recently)/Win 10

Resolution was editting the vmx file and adding all of these lines:

mouse.vusb.enable = "TRUE"
mouse.vusb.useBasicMouse = "FALSE"
mks.mouse.pixelScrollSensitivity = "1"
