Mouse clicking twice when you click once
It's the button switch wearing out, but sometimes it's just your computer's settings being too sensitive. We'll adjust your settings, clean the mouse, and test it to find out what's causing it.
Your mouse button switch is getting worn out, or your computer's double-click setting is too fast. We'll start by adjusting how sensitive your computer is to double-clicks, then clean the button, and finally test if it's actually broken. In the majority of cases this fixes it.
- ✓Have a text document or web browser open so you can test clicks after each step
- ✓Have a different mouse available if possible — you'll use it to tell if the problem is your mouse or your computer
- ✓Have a dry cloth handy in case you need to clean the mouse
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step, just tap, no typing needed.

- Using water to clean the mouse instead of rubbing alcohol or compressed air
- Taking the mouse apart without proper tools. Just stick to cleaning the outside
