How to Fix Mouse Double Click
Double click caused by spring in mouse switch. This spring can become tired so it isn't providing pressure necessary to maintain connection between two contacts (top, bottom). With combination of dirt, abrasion and oxidation on the contact areas, it is a perfect recipe for unstable connection and unwanted double clicks
Three ways for fix :
- clean contacts and refresh spring
- replace new spring
- replace new switch
Mouse Disassemble
Screw visible at bottom of mouse or sometimes in battery holder or under stickers
