    Left mouse button not working


    My left mouse button is not quiet working. It works but I have to hold the button down to "click". I tried to change the primary button to be right and it still was the left button, that was broken. I also tried to delete the mouse driver, restart explorer etc. So the big problem now is, that I have to hold the left button down for a single click.

    :)

  2. Mouse left button stops working intermittently

    I have seen several posts with similar problems, but none of them provide any useful answers. Basically, my left mouse button stops working intermittently. I can "fix" it by double clicking the scroll button, but it soon returns. This is the third mouse
    I tried so please do not suggest trying a different mouse or driver. I am using Windows 10.

    Disfunctional Mouse

    Hello, My wired mouse is a Genius M/N: DX-110 model. It's been working perfectly until yesterday. Today I wiped clean the keyboard while the machine was on, by pressing many keys at random. Then the mouse stopped working! I have restarted the computer, but to no avail. The left button does not function at all. The right button works somewhat like the left button used to be, but it first displays a menu including "open link in new tab/window", etc. So it takes two steps to get to the destination, but then the link does not open by either left or right button and thus I have to use the touch pad key to open it, making three steps procedure in the end. Both the pointer and the central scroll wheel work normally. What has gone wrong? How can I fix it? All suggestions are heartily welcome.

    Using left mouse button and right touchpaper button as Main Button

    Hi Mark

    Yes, your suggestion is logical, however in Windows Mouse/touchpad button configuration is universal, so if the left mouse button is set as the main button, that will also affect the touchpad and vice versa . . .

    Please add this suggestion to the Feedback hub on Windows 10 (Windows Key + F) and hopefully the developers may take notice and provide us with a setting for this in a future update . . .
