Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0 Double Clicks when Clicked Once.
Upon moving from Windows XP to Vista, a new PC, the Microsoft Mouse has
taken up a bad habit of double clicking when it is only clicked once. This is so prevalent that we are hesitant to use it to click on certain items. For example, the delete button in mail. We delete two messages instead of the one we clicked on. For fun try playing solitaire, flipping two cards, instead of one, after a while it really gets annoying. I have tried to adjust the settings and checked with Microsoft and downloaded the latest drivers for this but it has not improved. It may actually be getting worse. Any suggestions? Is it time to get a new mouse? Thank, Richard.. |

Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse 2.0 Double Clicks when Clicked Once.
Upon moving from Windows XP to Vista, a new PC, the Microsoft Mouse has
taken up a bad habit of double clicking when it is only clicked once. This is really common with Microsoft mice. The problem is due to the microswitch going "noisy". If you're OK with a soldering iron you could swap it with the microswitch under the right-click button - I've done this several times over the past several years. The right mouse button is used far less often, and double clicks on it rarely do any harm. Alternatively, you might just want to buy a new mouse. Logitech mice seem slightly less prone to it, although still not immune. Presumably they have better 'debounce' built in. SteveT |

I had the same frustrating problem develop on my Microsoft mouse with the left-click developing a random double click. I took the mouse apart to look at the solders and cleaned out a little bit of dust that had collected in the mouse around the front near the culprit microswitch. I then put it together and it now works perfectly. There must have been some dust specs causing some sort of short in the device. Anyway, saves me $30+ for the time being. -- nash |

Similar to Nash, mine was broken by cat hairs inside the mouse but on the outside of the microswitch - I cleaned these and it's single clicky again. I just wanted to add this message to support the suggestion that the problem can be outside the microswitch to anyone stumbling upon this discussion - I certainly didn't expect cleaning around it to work but it did. -- floppydisk |
