About the Mouse Tester
Check every mouse button, including back and forward side buttons, and the scroll wheel. The double-click check flags presses that come too close together, the classic sign of a worn switch.

Test every button and the scroll wheel
Click, double-click and scroll inside the test area. Each button lights up while held and shows how many times it has been pressed, including the back and forward side buttons on most mice.
Spotting a faulty switch
Click the left button normally 20–30 times. A healthy mouse shows a gap of about 100 ms or more between your clicks. If a single click registers twice, under 80 ms apart, it's flagged in red: a classic sign of switch "chatter".
| Symptom | Likely cause |
|---|---|
| Single clicks register as double clicks | Worn left-button switch |
| Drag and drop keeps letting go | Same: the switch releases briefly |
| Scroll jumps or goes the wrong way | Dirty or worn scroll encoder |
| Side buttons do nothing | Need mapping in the mouse software |
