I've run into a small, yet very annoying problem with my computer
mouse. For the past two years, I've had some kind of Logitech mouse
that's worked like a charm- it has a 6 month battery life (or two, if I
forget to shut it off at night), it's comfortable, and the USB can fit
into a pocket on the underside for travelling. Last week, however, it
began to execute a double click at random after I had clicked once. I
could no longer rely on it- it would be as frequent as 1 in 2 clicks.
This is a common problem with mice, particularly Logitech mice, and
there are many different "solutions" floating around the web. Thank god I
have no background in the mechanical side of technology, or I might
have taken the whole thing apart. But that route is unnecessary, as I
recently discovered two fixes that seem to work for many people.
1. The "anyone can do" fix (suggested on the Logitech help site):
Unplug the USB, take out the batteries, and blow under the crack of
the left mouse button. Click both buttons for 30 seconds to remove
static electricity, then give it another blow. Then, try the mouse out.
If it doesn't work the first time, try one more time.
If you're still stuck, proceed to #2.
#2. The "need to know what an internet is" fix (suggested on a geek forum):
I happened upon this download yesterday that provided a temporary
solution to the problem and, if #1 hadn't worked, would've satisfied me
enough to not buy a new mouse. It's a downloadable application that
uses some kind of voodoo to block the mouse from double clicking when
you don't want it to. I'd say it works about 80% of the time, which was
enough for me. As I found a better solution rather quickly, I don't know
if this is a one-time download or if you need to start it up every time
you power on your computer/mouse.
The application seemed to work for everyone who tried it. For anyone
who doesn't believe my voodoo theory, I don't have a background in
technology (or anything, really), so that explanation is enough for me
to trust it.
