How to fix double click issue on mouse device



Hi guys, this is my own experience.

My eight years months old Steelseries Xai just had an annoying double click issue. 90% of the time, when I left click or hold it, the mouse will also register another one or two clicks in a succession manner. So it will messed up and the operating system will trigger the double clicks!

Here is how I fixed it, alone, without any kind of outside help:

1. Disconnect any mouse cable from PC.
2. Now, do this: mass clicking all of the buttons on it like crazy! When I said crazy, I mean it! Just clicks as fast as you can for about minimum of 2 minutes.
3. Connect back your mouse into PC.

That's it!

  4. Thanks! Worked for my Xai. Also, how does this work? Whats the key? Unplugging? Spam clicking?

    1. Static electricity builds up in the switches, spam-clicking w/ no power discharges it.

  10. It works on beginning. One day it will not work anymore, and your mouse will double click almost continuously.

    1. The whole thing this corrects is static buildup in the switches, which is usually due to low-humidity environments. I would suggest trying your mouse with a humidifier nearby

  14. WTF how did this work? was there something stuck underneath the button or was the purpose was to drain the remaining electricity from the mouse by unplugging it clicking continously?
