Issue with middle mouse click not functioning while scrolling works.
Issue with middle mouse click not functioning while scrolling works.
Hello!
My middle mouse click stopped functioning, but scrolling still works, so the issue isn’t with the scroll wheel. I’ve tried reinstalling drivers and rolling back updates, yet it doesn’t fix the problem. Could there be anything else I should try to restore it? (This refers to physically pressing the middle mouse button, not scrolling.)
I anticipate that the middle mouse click "pushing down" functions as a basic on/off switch, whereas the scroll rotation behaves like a varying resistor.
The switch isn't functioning properly. But the scroll wheel (potentiometer) does operate correctly.
What is the model of the mouse?
Verify that the mouse drivers are current. Even with updates, a reinstall might be necessary if the setup seems damaged.
Test the mouse on another known functional computer.
Consider using another known working mouse on your system.
Identify whether the issue stems from the mouse itself or persists on your computer.
