Default wireless mice double pulsing

I am finding that wireless mice seem to be sending two pulses on a
left click. This effect is very irritating when it clears two tabs
when only one should be cleared. I find this effect on 2 laptops and
one desk machine running Linux and one desktop with W7. All using
different mice. Has anyone found a cure for this?


When I've had this problem it has always been a tired left mouse switch
(could they all be "tired"?) In the past I've swapped-over switches but
mice are so cheap its doubtful whether it's worth the effort.


It is here. I have a cordless PS2 mouse which seem impossible to find new
now. Need it for the old RISC OS computer. Be nice to find a conversion
box that allowed a modern and cheap USB cordless to work with PS2.


why don't you just use ps2 mice? IME with ball mice, the older they are the better they work.
