They're having trouble with their behavior.
They're having trouble with their behavior.
So I noticed after I rebuilt my PC, (went from an intel platform to a Ryzen setup) that my mice are acting weird, they sometimes just stop working, but it only appears to be the buttons. I can scroll and move around fine but my buttons sometimes just stop working when I hold them in, I notice it more in FPS games like destiny 2, and COD, but have also noticed it happening in other games as well. At first I thought it was the mouse, or maybe the game, but its happened on 3 different mice. A Logitech G602 wireless, a Logitech G502 wired like special edition or something, and some razer wireless one. Since it happened twice on wireless mice I figured maybe signal interference but right now I have the 502 and its wired and still happening. I noticed sometimes when I tap my mouse on my desk, some dirt came out and the issue seemed to get better for a time, then it happened again, could it be a simple solution that I'm just a gross bafoon? Can crumbs like, get inside a mouse and block sensors? Would that really happen on all 3 mice? (I only tried the tapping thing on the 502 mind you). Or is there something else going on? I've tried different USB ports, having the logitech software running in the background, changing DPI and polling rates, making sure firmware and drivers were updated, to no success. Stumped on what else to try. Demonstration
Other brands might experience similar issues. Logitech is known for complex software that runs on top of drivers, which could cause problems if there’s a mismatch.
It seems you're experiencing problems with double-clicking. This could manifest as unexpected behavior, such as dropping while dragging an item, or single clicks instead of double clicks.
I noted that in the previous post. With a wireless Razer, wireless Logitech, and wired Logitech, it occurs with all three. I’m unsure—it seems more like a holding problem rather than a clicking one. I press the right mouse button to aim in these games, but occasionally it stops while I’m aiming or shooting. I don’t let go, and it happens no matter how gently or firmly I hold the button.
When you drag something with the mouse and it drops while you're dragging, it's having a key pressed the whole time but the switch losing contact and making it like you let the key, stopped holding it. That is a double click issue. So if you ADS wit holding RMB and it stopps without you letting the key off, that is a double click issue. A bad switch.
It seems to occur more when aiming and tracking targets, which might mean the mouse isn’t working right. All three had faulty switches, so upgrading to a new mouse could be the solution.
They weren't more than a year old except for the G602 wireless, which is when I purchased the razer and it occurred with that model too. I then considered a possible signal issue and switched to a wired connection, but it's now happening again with this one. It seems to be around a year or two old. I'll confirm by checking my Amazon history. Edit: September 13th, 2020, which is about a year and a half?
Razor would be a separate app, but it’s another company that builds apps on top of drivers. Perhaps uninstall both and try some basic, low-end mice from thrift stores. It could even include a ball inside. Anything affordable without using the standard Windows driver is acceptable. It shouldn’t cost more than a few dollars. The issue isn’t whether it works—it won’t—and this is just a test. If it fails, it’s unrelated to mouse drivers. Edited April 14, 2022 by Bombastinator
