Turn off the right-click feature.
Turn off the right-click feature.
Looking for a solution that doesn't involve registry changes. There are tools and settings you can adjust in Windows to reduce or eliminate right-click prompts, especially if neuropathy causes frequent clicks.
I thought the same thing—it's a basic, inexpensive HP mouse around six years old. Any budget-friendly options would work well for that kind of setup?
This device supports right-click functionality. A touch sensor beneath the casing helps distinguish left from right. For even older Apple models, single-click options are available. I owned one from a G4 iMac that worked with just one click. @BiotechBen suggests using AutoHotKey for customization. You can map the right-click to a no-op action and toggle it on or off for flexibility. The Mac supports Control+Click for right-click, though Windows lacks a built-in equivalent. Hidden features in Windows complicate removal. Macs traditionally came with a single-button mouse to prevent developers from obscuring functionality, ensuring all features were accessible through a single click for better usability.
It would be simpler to put a silicone stopper beneath the right button to avoid it being pressed down. It can be taken off easily for normal use again if necessary. For right-click actions in Windows, press Shift plus F10 to mimic a click. Hope this assists!
