    The left clicker on my wired mouse works sometimes. The driver is up to date...any suggestions before I just buy another one?

    It took me 20 minutes to make this thread because I couldn't click from the thread title line into the comment box.

    :)

    Mouse left click SOMETIMES acts as right click

    So first of all I just want to make it clear that I know about switching which mouse button is the primary button and am 100% sure I'm on the right setting (left click as normal click and right click as open context menu etc) so please don't suggest that
    I check/uncheck the box in mouse properties.

    So every 5-10 left clicks (it's completely random) my mouse registers a right click (I have done this very slowly to make sure I wasnt accidentally hitting right click somehow) so if I spam left click every so often the context menu appears as if I right
    clicked. Also before anybody suggests that I buy a new mouse I bought 3 (1 wireless and 2 wired of different brands) when I upgraded my PC last because I had another seperate but equally as annoying mouse bug and on ALL 3 this bug occurs, I have completely
    reinstalled windows on a fresh harddrive, none of my pc bits at all apart from the case are even the same as the last time I had a mouse bug (I replaced literally everything but case) and I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling mouse drivers countless times.

    I have scoured google for weeks and found nothing, I really am out of ideas. Any help would be much appreciated.
