Please log in for more thread options 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? | |||||||||||||

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. | |||||||||||||

I'm a little startled that anyone would pay anything for an ass mouse. That seems more like the type of thing you would pay to be rid of. 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. | |||||||||||||
