noticeable lag when RDP to a VM thru RD Gateway on MAC

Info:

  • RDM MAC: 2023.2.9.1
  • MACOS: 13.5
  • RD Gateway Server: Windows server 2022


Hi, I notice an issue on RDM MAC 2023.2.9.1. When RDP to a Windows VM thru RD Gateway, there is a noticeable lag (slow response to mouse clicking and hover on Windows start menu). After several tests, I found the issue is related to a high polling rate mouse (connected via a USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter, https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MUF82AM/A/usb-c-digital-av-multiport-adapter?fnode=aecbc4320f68fa5d3dda5ac75ac87e7bc9cdfb5fc44984d5086d259d82b62a1db5459d9d87d4c19252f83c2dd3ad09eab05b82ab51ced48e8e701cecdb67328dea0112aa65217ad50139b7650d3414be45881a14988a3c3085d3863446a469c2)
the workaround is

  1. change the transport setting in RD Gateway tab from AUTO or HTTP to RPC
  2. use touch pad or low-end mouse
  3. use direct RDP (not thru RD Gateway)


I would like to report the issue back and seek for a fix.

Hi pirate585,

Could you confirm the exact mouse model you use?

Hello,

With the new version of RDM Mac (2023.3.6.3), you will have the option to limit the polling rate of the mouse in Settings > Types > Remote Desktop (RDP) > Mouse. The setting should prevent the issue.

If there anything don't hesitate to ask.
Best regards,
