    Mouse click randomly acts like a Back button - EVERY mouse, EVERY browser


    Hi,I've searched for answers to this -- it seems like A LOT of people have experienced this over the course of 10+ years, but I haven't seen a fix beyond basic recommendations that do not work.Sometimes -- and frustratingly frequently -- when I click the left mouse button in my browser, the website will revert to the previous page as if I've clicked Back. This happens in every browser, using every mouse I've tried. Clearing cache and reinstalling the drivers does not help. So is there a solution? Not "try a new browser/mouse?" Please, I would really appreciate help with this. Thanks!

    :)

    Mouse left-click is acting like a right-click.

    My mouse has recently acting weird. Whenever I left-clicked the mouse, acts like a right-click however my right-click is still good. Therefore, both buttons are acting like right-clicks. Sometimes, it goes off by just leaving it a few minutes but then
    the issue returns if you used it after a few seconds. Since I'm using a laptop, both the external mouse and the touch pad had this issue. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mouse drivers but did not work. Please send a help. Thank you.

    Mouse click randomly acts like a Back button - EVERY mouse, EVERY browser

    How to slow down the left mouse button? It acts like a rapid fire button.

    Thanks for responding, but none of these helped. The mouse and laptop are brand new, and the mouse was always like this, right out the box. Is there a way to change the speed setting for a single click? It acts like it is set to keep firing on mouse
    down. Perhaps it is preset to a mouse down event instead of mouse click event? I admit I don't know much about that, but that is my guess based on how it is acting.
