Single-click the box and every press is timed, logged and flagged if it comes too soon after the last.
How to test your mouse for double-clicks
- Rest your finger and single-click the box slowly, about once a second.
- Do it at least 20 to 30 times for each button you're worried about. The fault is often intermittent.
- Read the log. Red rows came sooner than the limit.
- Follow the repair steps if the fault line appears.
Reading the interval log
- Each row shows the time since the last press of the same button.
- A slow single-click pattern shows gaps of hundreds of milliseconds. A bouncing switch adds gaps of a few tens of milliseconds or less.
- One flag is "possible". Three or more is "fault likely", and so are two when they make up at least 5% of ten or more presses.
- You can lower the limit to explore if you click fast on purpose. It goes back to 80 ms on reload, and only a run judged at 80 ms can count as Passed on your report.
Common questions
What is a double-click test?
It checks whether a mouse registers two clicks when you press once. It times the gap between presses, since a worn switch "bounces" and sends a second press almost immediately.
How can I test my mouse for double-clicks?
Single-click slowly on the box above and watch for red rows in the log. Red rows at a slow pace point to a faulty switch.
Why does my mouse double click when I click once?
Usually a worn switch, sometimes dust or a system setting. Clean around the button, try another port, and raise debounce in the mouse software if it has one. If it persists, check your warranty.
Is this a click speed test?
No. It looks for faults rather than speed, so there are no scores or timers to beat.
