Repairing mouse buttons involves reattaching them to the device.
Repairing mouse buttons involves reattaching them to the device.
A year ago I purchased the Trust GXT25 mouse and initially found its extra 'double click' feature amusing. Soon, I became so accustomed to it that using a regular mouse felt awkward. I bought several spare models, but unfortunately, the last one is failing me. After checking multiple stores, only a handful of mice match its style, yet what I thought was a double-click button turns out to be just rapid single clicks. This leads to accidental overclicks on everything. Looking for programs to reprogram the button for a true double click, I realized either the software is brand-specific or it only supports up to five buttons (my mouse has eight). Is there any solution that could help me? Oh, and I'm using Windows 7—this might take me off the subject. Please don't judge. Short answer: Do you have any tools that can adjust button behavior on an 8-button mouse?
Welcome to the discussions! It seems there might be a feature to reattach a button for Logitech mice that work with gHub. However, this is limited to specific brands. MS Mouse and Keyboard Center might have the capability, but I haven't checked yet—it could need Windows 10 as well. Also, it's unclear how two quick clicks compare to one double-click.
It's hard to control effectively. A tiny press can trigger five clicks. Numerous video players, for instance, boost performance when you double-click anywhere on the screen. Using this mouse brings you back to your starting point by the time you release it, rendering it practically useless. I tested the MS Mouse and Keyboard center, but it failed to recognize any devices. Their support page states it only works with Microsoft-branded products (I wasn't aware they produced mice and keyboards).
I'm just suggesting giving it another shot if you're up for it. You could re-solder a fresh switch onto the board, which might fix the double-click problem. I've done this on several Logitech mice that had the same issue. The switches are available for a few dollars, and you'll need a soldering iron, some wire, and a bit of patience.
