Windows 10: Stupid mouse keeps doubling my single-clicks

I started up my computer yesterday to find that my mouse was acting up, AGAIN. About 50% of the time I single-click something, the computer would interpret it as two clicks. I tried removing the driver and reinstalling it. No dice. Tried changing the double-click speed to the fastest, and it STILL does it. Help?

:)

 

Mouse double clicking on single click

My mouse has started to double click since the 2016 update. I have tried changing the doubble click speed and roling the driver back to a previous version, both, hasnt made a difference. I have also tried other mice both wired and wireless i have the same
problem is with all the mice.

OS windows 10 Pro.

Does anyone have any ideas.

Thanks Carl

Hello Carl,

To fix the issue with your mouse, we suggest checking Nachappa C K troubleshooting post

here.

Let us know what happened.

Regards.

 

Clean the pad and bottom the mousey? Batteries? Re-seat USB if wired? Re-seat Dongle?

 

It's a wired mouse, laser/optical. I can't figure out where the screws are, otherwise I'd take it apart and clean it.

It doesn't seem to be doing it right now, fortunately. I think every time I restart the computer, it "reboots" the mouse and either it works fine or it doesn't. Very odd.

 

I have the same problem with my 2 year old Logitech MX Master. I'm pretty sure it's a mechanical problem.. probably have to get a new one.

 

One of the least expensive things on a PC. Just run out to Staples or Best Buy, etc.

Example:

 

It's a gaming mouse, which was fairly pricey, even for Amazon. The mouse isn't even that old. Can't be a mechanical issue, don't think so. I have a spare mouse but it's a small, wireless travel size mouse. Too small for my hands. Can't afford a new mouse currently.

 

Try a different mouse, just to test, if that solves it, then it is your gaming mouse.

 

Probable clips together

 

I did, and after a few reboots, I had the same issue.

 

Still having this annoying issue.

 

Funny enough, everyone says it's a hardware issue. I don't think so. In fact, recently, my friends and I who all have different mice and one who actually recently got his have started having the issue. Sometimes it just randomly double-clicks, and it's not consistent. There's not a "reproduce like this" sort of thing. I don't hate Windows or anything, I just think it was something in the recent update. On an unrelated note, Steam has also started running really poorly for my friends and I.

Some things to note for the reason why I think it's Windows:

Friend 1 hardware: I5-6500, Razer Deathadder
Friend 2 hardware: Phenom II x6 1055t, Corsair Glaive
My hardware: Ryzen 7 1700, Logitech G602

I left all the other hardware out to not make this an essay lol. But my point here is that these are all different generations in terms of internal hardware (if I can word that properly, I hope you know what I mean, sorry :|) and they all run Windows. The only relatively common point all of them have is that they are gaming mice. Maybe it's a bit of an issue the OS has with gaming mice? The Corsair Glaive is the one that's new btw.

 

Well, mine was definitely hardware. I replaced my tired MX Master with a new MX Master 2S and the problem went away.

 

I've had similar issues with my Logitech Trackball. For me it was the actual click button that gave out. Too many hours playing FSP games I think, it was the trigger button. I would get no click, or double click, or single click. I took it apart and replaced the left click button and all was fine again. I just bought a corded Logitech mouse and stole one of the buttons from it. It was a perfect match. I'm a retired electronic technician so no big deal for me. Now I have two spare buttons if it happens again. I don't think my trackball was ever meant for gaming. It took a pounding before it finally failed. Swap the button functions and see what happens. If it then works normally (other than having to push the other button) its a mechanical issue. If the other button does the same thing there is something else going on.
