Author Topic: My mouse is acting insanely crazy.  (Read 1037 times)

- A lot of times when I click something, it won't do anything. I have to click multiple times to get the click to actually do anything.

- When I drag my mouse across the screen to select something, it may randomly cancel out my selection. This is especially annoying when I'm trying to puush an image by selecting a certain part of the screen, often resulting in only half the image I wanted to show because of this weird thing.

- Often when I click, it'll register it as two clicks and it'll double click while that was not my intention at all. Especially annoying when I'm working with transparency stuff in Paint.NET or when I have two windows open. Closing one window will close the one behind it if it's registered as a double click.

Oh, and fun fact: this actually loving happened while I was writing this post. I was looking up what kind of mouse this was and I closed the incognito window, and boom. Entire post gone.

This is insanely annoying and I've tried putting in a new battery, but it didn't work. It's a wireless M185 Logitech mouse. If any of you have encountered this sort of problem before and/or know a way to fix it, please let me know.

Also, please refrain from giving advice like "buy a new mouse". I have the money but I don't want to spend money on a third wireless mouse. The first one broke after two weeks.

Use a PS/2 mouse. I never had a problem with them.

Could be that the left click is broken.

Switch your mouse settings to your left click being right click and tell us if it keeps happening.

Interference from aliens.

If you've already tried everything then what advice is there to give other than buy a new one?

Buy a PS/2 or a USB mouse. In my experience, PS/2 mouses are flawless.

I get the opposite from this when i try and highlight a word it stays on highlight and it is so annoying... When i try play Blockland and spray something it keeps spraying  (Laptop) and my mouse is powered by ELAN Smart-Pad

Then you have the option of Click-Lock turned on. Head over to your Mouse options in Control Panel to disable it. (Assuming you run Windows)

i have a logitech m185 for a year now and it is perfect for me

Moral of the story:
Don't get wireless mouses.

Don't get wireless anything


wireless mouses are pretty cool though, and the way my desk is built, it's pretty hard to connect a mouse to my pc. that's the main reason i got a wireless mouse in the first place
