Windows 10: mouse is vibrating randomly and switching tabs if I am on browser

I have been experiencing the following issues with the Microsoft Sculpt mouse. I have replaced the batteries with the new one. still same issue.The mouse is vibrating randomly.While I am MS Teams, randomly switching chat tabs or If browsing a stie, randomly going back and switching browser tabs.Getting plug-in/out sound randomly on OS.Mouse battery draining very fast. I have to replace batteries for every 10days.

Mouse periodically 'buzzes' or vibrates regardless of application

While using Windows 10, my mouse periodically vibrates (buzzes). This is independent of any application, and will occur when only the OS is on the screen (no application is active). The vibration is in the mouse ONLY; there is no audible sound associated with the vibration, i.e. through the computer speakers.

If I am in a browser (MS Edge or Google Chrome), the buzz is simultaneously accompanied by a switch of tabs in the browser, typically back to the first tab that is open.

I am worried that this behavior may be indicative of a larger problem.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is it anything to worry about (aside from the aggravation of tab switching)? Can anyone suggest a fix?

Thank you,
Jay

 

Restore Classic ALT+TAB A-B B-A switching with mouse, not random


The very three critical combinations to understand before even participating in this thread:

1. Windows 10 with classic ALT+Tab registry key restoration (all over the web, look it up).
2. Use any program that customizes the key bindings to the fourth and fifth mouse buttons (the thumb buttons); I have been using X-Mouse Button Control.
3. Set the forward-thumb button to ALT+Tab (if using X-Mouse Button Control set to "Simulated Keys (pressed)" and paste {ALT}{TAB}.

This is not about using the physical keyboard to ALT+Tab, this thread is about assigning the Classic Alt+Tab function to a mouse and having it switch between the two active windows only instead of randomly wandering around different unrelated windows.

Here is list of open Windows for both Windows 7 and 10:

Window A [code/work browser]
Window B [IDE/code editor]
Window C [notepad]
Window ♣ [funny cat pictures]
Window Beta [separate browser for developer chat]
Window Waldo [browser used to find an answer drowning in responses by people who just don't get it]

Typically when I work I switch between my code editor and my test browser however this is just an example as I use the Classic non-borked Alt+Tab all the time between any two windows and when I'm done with a pair I will manually switch to another pair typically.

To trigger the correct behavior press and hold ALT, press Tab once and then let go of both keys.

Windows 7 Classic Alt+Tab (correct mouse-ALT+Tab behavior):

Window A

Code:

 Window B [browser / reload / worked? No? Back to code!]
 Window A [code]
 Window B [browser / reload / worked? No? Back to code!]
 Window A [code]
 Window B [browser / reload / worked? No? Back to code!]
 Window A [code]
 Window B [browser / reload / worked? No? Back to code!]
 
 Windows 10 Classic Alt+Tab restored via registry (incorrect mouse-ALT+Tab behavior):
 
 Window A [code]
 Window X [WTH?!]
 Window ♣ [huge vein on forehead appears]
 Window Beta [violence likely]
 Window Waldo [divided by zero]
 
 Even when you get rid of the crappy GUI garbage they dumped on users in Windows 10 the behavior of Alt+Tabbing once (pressing Tab [i]once[/i] and letting go of the Alt key) is now absolute and utter chaos. I'm a GUI designer (UI/UX etc) and the goal is to always achieve maximum results with minimum input.
 
 No:
 
 [list][*]I'm not going to use ALT+Esc
[*]I'm not going to use Windows+Tab
[*]I'm not going to add twenty seconds staring at window explosions in place of 20ms action.
[*]I'm not going to post on Microsoft Answers because the last thing you ever get there is a frigin answer.
[*]My work won't allow me to dump Windows 10 like the released-two-years-too-early-mess it is and just go back to Windows 7.

 Please, fellow beings of competence, hear my plea! I've probably had [i]hours[/i] of my time wasted by [i]just[/i] this Windows 10 "feature" alone.

 

SSD Crucial Bx 100 - rattling/vibrating. Possible?

This has been suggested several times already, and it has been suggested you try to move the SSD, remove it, or even suspend it in your case. Will you please try one of these?

If you don't understand vibration and resonance, please refer to @dorsetknob 's post above. *Smile It has been explained that something else moving/vibrating (even if you don't think they're vibrating they are...), fans, hard disk drives, and anything with a motor will cause some form of vibration at certain frequencies. This can be transfered through your case's chassis and where you mounted your SSD could be reaching a certain frequency that causes it to slightly move and rattle against the case.

We are suggesting you take action and report back..you keep asking questions from step 1...we should be on step 4 by now...that is solution.

Try what has been suggested and report back please. Otherwise all you're doing is leading this thread in an endless circle and the help will stop shortly thereafter.
