Anyone else have this problem with their mouse?

Question

I use a HP laptop and a Sony mouse (cos at the time HP mouse was out of stock), and often when I click something with the mouse, it double-clicks on its own... sometimes even when I click a program (say, Word) on the taskbar to minimise the window, the window will minimise and maximise immediately cos the mouse double-clicked.

Anyone else have this problem with their mouse?

Answer 1

Check out the Start--> Settings--> Control Panel--> Mouse--> Device Settings--> and look for mouse or touch sensitivity (You may also find such a thing elsewhere in the Mouse part of the Control panel. Try adjusting it more to your liking. (When you find, the correct window in there, it'll have a little screen where you can test the sensitivity by tapping the mouse as you slide the scale from less sensitive to more, to adjust...)

Answer 2

It will happen with almost any mouse you get. My internal one on my lab top does it as well. if it does it a lot you need a new mouse, but if it is a few time a day do not worry about it. Also it can be from how you click it, it might be reading a click when you press down and then another click when you lift up.

Answer 3

as long as your mouse isnt configured funky, then you probably have a bad mouse. they do wear out, have seen a lot of these.
