Mouse clicking issues, should I change of mouse?
I've had for quite awhile now issues with my mouse buttons : when
clicking once, it would act as if i double, even trippled click, while holding the left button, as for dragging something, something it would "drop", as if I had quickly released and pressed again the button, etc... Does it mean that there's something wrong with my mouse and that I should just throw it away and buy another, or can it be fixed? |

I can repair it at $60 per hour, it might take several hours. ;-) Michael |

Does it mean that there's something wrong with my mouse Most likely, yes. You could fiddle with the driver settings but it's most likely the button switch. and that I should just throw it away From a typical american consumer point of view, yes do that. From a french point of view, I don't know? It is easy to fix on some mice but if you haven't the experience in fixing it yourself nor an inclination to buy parts besides any for a mouse then it's not cost or time effective. and buy another, or can it be fixed? Yes it could be fixed, there's a small microswitch soldered onto the circuit board, usually, so you would simply find a compatible switch online and swap it... easy to do if you're used to doing such things, but more time than it's worth if you're not. |

I wouldn't know how to do that (i didnt even know you could change parts in a mouse, and I don't see how you'd do anyways) and then it's only a $15 ass mouse, i just guess I won't try to sell this one and buy a new one for about $30, but that's still $30 from my pocket, that's why I wanted to make sure the only buying a new mouse could fix my problem. |

If you're used to doing such things it's not as difficult as it seems- take a couple screws out, desolder the original switch, and add a switch to your next online order from an electronics house. Mouse switches are rather common, usually one of two types and if someone had an old mouse or two, odds are they already have a switch then could cannibalize. Probalby not worth the effort for most, but last time it took me about 5 minutes, total, as little time as it would've taken to find another mouse. |

Back to reality: Borrow a mouse from a friend to be sure that a new mouse will solve your problem. You most likely have a bad mouse, but you can test that assumption for free if you don't want to risk your $30. Good luck. |

well i've tested another mouse (an ADB mouse connected throught an
adapter to a USB port, so it only had one button) and it seems to work right... I'd very surprised if I found out that it's a software problem! and anyways, you can sell dead CPU's , dead power supplies and CD-burners that dont even burn right for between 5 and 20 dollars on eBay, so why not a ****ed up mouse? but i wont even bother with that, i guess ill just plug it to my old laptop Grinder wrote: CFran wrote: kony wrote: On 28 Sep 2005 15:29:52 -0700, "CFran" wrote: I've had for quite awhile now issues with my mouse buttons : when clicking once, it would act as if i double, even trippled click, while holding the left button, as for dragging something, something it would "drop", as if I had quickly released and pressed again the button, etc...

hahaha, you see, mouses ain't even that expensive, maybe because the US
dollar got so low compared to the euro that it advantages us baguette eaters when we buy some american ****.
