How to Fix Logitech Mouse Double Clicking?

Whenever the double-click issue appears in Logitech mouse, two clicks will be reported by the device when actually one was performed. Possible outcomes could be: involuntary selection/deselection of an item, interruption of the job, and trouble with drag-and-drop. Double-clicking may be caused mainly by wear and tear of Omron microswitches used in most Logitech models.

Other causes may include static charge accumulation and software issues like corrupt drivers.

Now, let's deal with some ways to rectify this.

1. Check Mouse Preferences

Sometimes, a minor tweak in your mouse settings may be all it takes to heal the problem before resorting to those hotshot solutions. First, bring up the "Mouse Properties" menu to check your mouse's double-click speed. If this setting is not high enough, the system can incorrectly interpret single clicks as double clicks, causing the problem at hand.

Press Win + R, then write in the word "control" and hit Enter.

Now open the Control Panel and go to the top right corner. Click on the drop-down list there and click on Large Icons. Then click on Mouse pointer.

Now set the double click slider on its slowest speed rate.

Check if the thing is fixed now. If your double click problem still persists then change another parameter:

Once Windows + S has been pressed and "single click" is typed into the dialog box, hit Enter on the Control Panel option that says "Specify single or double-click to open". In the General tab, under "Click items as follows", select "Double-click to open an item" for single click to choose. Finally, hit Apply to save and exit. Restart your computer to check if the problem has vanished.

2. Eliminate static charge.

If your mouse has static in it then you aren't going to be able to double click it. By taking out the static, you will be resetting the circuitry of your mouse and that should restore clicks to proper functioning again.

Take out the batteries from the mouse and power it off.

Press the two buttons on the mouse in successive order for 30 seconds or to a minute.

Reinstall all of the software so that you may rule out the issue.

3. Mouse Drivers

Sometimes, the problem of double-clicking is some software problem rather than being physical. Sometimes, computers fail to communicate with your mouse. If so, update the drivers, which will reconcile any conflicts and problems. Misreading signals means that since drivers are worn-out or broken, it will click twice.

Open the Run dialog box, type in "devmgmt.msc," and then click Enter.

You can uninstall your mouse in Device Manager by searching for your mouse under the category "Mice and other pointing devices", then right-clicking and select Exit.

Remember to unplug your mouse once you have uninstalled it. Take the batteries out and let it sit for a few minutes before putting them back in.

Now, you can either download the drivers from Logitech's website or you could let Windows Update install them for you. See if this resolves the issue.

4. Contact Logitech for a Warranty Claim

You can get the problem of the double click fixed by filing a claim, while the warranty period is not expired for your Logitech mouse. In such cases, where the malfunctioning is due to a component, such as a switch, Logitech replaces or repairs it. You may file a claim on their official site without taking any risk of DIY fixes, and you will be more certain that the problem has been taken care of permanently.

5. Determine Whether Spring Can Be Repaired

If none of the above software or driver changes work, try fiddling with the internal spring of the mouse. A worn-out spring is all that may be required to register clicks and cause double clicks. You should be able to open the mouse and carefully reshape the spring to repair it and disable double-clicking.

Be extremely cautious; this will deconstruct your mouse if you are not following the instructions to a tee.

Unscrew the underside of the mouse body by finding the screws underneath. Remove the body carefully to avoid the destruction of any of the inner parts.

Important: First of all, before you install the screws make sure you remove coverings.

Determine which click mechanism is faulty. Either the right click or the left click may be completely gone. Notice the white button on the top; this sometimes comes loose when the shell is taken off.

Remove the black housing that contains the click mechanism. Use a flat-head screwdriver and carefully pry the lid from the latch. Repeat on the other side.

Cure the root of the problem by taking out the small copper spring inside the mechanism of the clicker.

Bend it, using the screwdriver while holding tight, in such a way that it does not change the tension.

To reattach the tension spring, simply follow the instructions and hook it onto the little hook on the front of the mechanism. First, make sure that the back of the spring goes under the arm in the back of the mechanism. Pay close attention to the points marked by the arrows in the second picture here; these are crucial to the operation of the.

Assemble the click mechanism again. Place the small white button with a pair of tweezers. Attach the body by holding the cover with one hand and turning it upside-down.

Test-click multiple times before fully putting it back together. If it is working, then the whole thing goes back to assembly. You can try if it fixes the problem by connecting it to the computer.

Please proceed with caution as you go through these advanced steps. Due to their ability to render the mouse unusable, these steps should not be attempted by the average user.
