Mouse Double Click Test
This mouse double click test shows whether your switch fires twice per press. Single-click slowly inside the box. Every click shows the gap since the previous one; anything faster than the threshold lights up coral because no human clicks that fast on purpose.
Recent intervals
Newest first. Coral means a phantom click.
Diagnose a double-click fault in under a minute
1. Click slowly, ten times
Press once per second. Slow clicks make it obvious when the switch adds an extra one.
2. Watch for coral
A coral interval means two clicks landed faster than the threshold. One in fifty is noise; one in ten is a worn switch.
3. Try every button
Switch to the home page button test and repeat with the right and middle buttons; faults are usually on the most used switch.
Why this double-click checker is trustworthy
Adjustable threshold
Pick 50, 80 or 120 ms depending on how strict you want to be. 80 ms is faster than any intentional human double-click.
Interval history
The last twelve gaps stay on screen so you can see whether faults cluster or appear randomly.
Plain-language verdict
After ten clicks the tool tells you healthy, occasional bounce, or worn switch.

Understand the vocabulary of switch failure
- Switch bounce
- The metal contacts inside a micro-switch vibrate on contact and briefly reconnect, producing a second click.
- Debounce
- Firmware delay that ignores presses too soon after the last. It masks bounce until the switch degrades past it.
- Phantom click
- A click the mouse reports that you did not make. Double-click faults are phantom clicks within milliseconds of a real one.
- Switch rating
- Manufacturer life expectancy, such as 20 million clicks. Oxidation often ends a switch well before that number.
Double-click fault questions
My mouse is new and already shows faults. Why?
Some new switches have an early-life bounce. Claim warranty rather than waiting; it usually gets worse.
Can I fix a double-clicking mouse without opening it?
Sometimes. Blow compressed air into the gap around the button and press it fifty times. If faults persist, the switch needs replacing.
Does Windows double-click speed affect the test?
No. The test measures the raw interval between presses and ignores the operating system's double-click setting.
Why 80 ms?
Elite clickers peak near 15 clicks per second, about 66 ms apart. 80 ms allows for that and still catches almost every bounce.
Fix what the test found
Faults on one button only
That switch is worn. Replacement switches cost a few dollars and need basic soldering, or claim warranty.
Faults on every button
Firmware or driver problem, not hardware. Update the mouse firmware and remove third-party mouse utilities.
Occasional fault, under five percent
Clean the switch with compressed air and retest in a week. Early bounce often stabilises after cleaning.
Drags release on their own
That is the same fault during a hold. Run the hold and drag test to confirm.
