My problem is as described here, whereby my left mouse will occasionally register a double click upon a single click. It happens on average (but not exactly) about once every 10-20 clicks. This just started happening today and never occurred before. I've made no hardware or software changes to my PC.
My mouse is a wired, HyperX Pulsefire Surge purchased about 5 months ago, although as will be explained I don't think this has anything to do with the hardware.
I attempted the solution here which uses an AutoHotKey script (downloaded most recent AHK version today, v.1.1.33.02 . This is the script:
LButton::
If (A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 100)
Return
Send {LButton Down}
KeyWait LButton ;physical state
Send {LButton Up}
Return
Basically, it ignores any double click if it occurs within the integer timelapse from the first click, treating it as a single click instead.
This script seems to be executing flawlessly as it's instructed, but it isn't stopping this spontaneous double click bug. Ie: I can set the delay to even be as large as 500 (ms), and sure enough, any double click that is faster than half a second will not register. So this is evidence the script is working. Yet, once ever 10-20 clicks still, even with this script running, a single click will spontaneously, and instantly, register as a double click.
This leads me to believe it's not a hardware (physical mouse) problem. If it was, then surely the software program would filter out the fault as it registers the clicks too quickly.
I'm running Windows 10 and have not made any updates for months, nor have updated any mouse drivers or other drivers for that matter. This behavior is bizarre, and has occurred suddenly within the last 24 hours. As a troubleshooting step, I removed all mouse drivers and scanned for hardware changes to re-install them, and also disabled power saving on USB-Hub. These changes haven't worked.
I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions on what might be causing it?
