    Middle mouse button not opening links in a new tab


    I have a Steelseries Aerox 3, recently the middle click has completely stopped working and I am wondering if its Windows or the mouse, I've looked on various sites for a fix to this but none work or even apply to me. I know ctrl click and other stuff like that exist, but its way easier with clicking the middle scroll wheel.

    :)

  2. Middle button (mouse wheel) not working: no new tab, no past of marked text in ubuntu

    Windows 10

    When working with Windows I am used to open a new browser (chrome, Firefox) with the middle mouse button.
    Unfortunately with the Logitech G602 it is no working Middle mouse button not opening links in a new tab :(

    Ubuntu 16.04

    In Ubuntu I have the same issue using the Logitech G602 : Mouse wheel does not work as middle button:

    • Mouse wheel / middle button does not open a new browser tab
    • Mouse wheel / middle button does not paste a text previously marked

    To me it looks like a driver or settings issue.
    How can I fix it?
    (If I remember right I had the same issue under windows as soon as I installed the logitec driver)

  4. Middle mouse button not opening links in a new tab

    Default Browser tab opened when clicking both mouse buttons (left and right)

    Hi,

    Pressing both mouse buttons replicate the function of the middle button to open a new tab. This could've been triggered due to a change on your driver settings after the recent update. As an initial step, we suggest that you update your mouse driver to reset
    any changes to default. To do this, follow the steps provided on this
    link
    . Once you're done check if the issue persists.

    Feel free to post back should you need further assistance.
