:cry: I am having the same problem. The mouse is only a couple months old. I contacted the manufacturer, and they said for $6 I could return the mouse, and they'd have a replacement to me in a minimum of three weeks. Hardly satisfactory. They also want the receipt, which i don't have. Has anyone found another way to resolve this double click response problem?

Same problem here. Razor diamondback mouse. From an ebay auction, "superficial damage, 100% functional", for 11$, so I was kind of asking for it. This moue has had a cable defect since I got it: When the cable is at a high angle to the mouse body length axis, the mouse loses connection. After about 1 month of use, this additional doubleclick problem emerged, I believe it started after I moved the mouse over to another computer at the other end of the room. (Cable gets slung around doing that, puts some pull force onto the cable attachment point on the mouse body)

So I suspect it's a hardware issue involving the cable.

By the way, this could be fixed in software, by making the driver interpret a doubleclick where the clicks are less than 50ms apart as a single click. Does such a driver exist? Perhaps there's an open-source mouse driver with easy to understand source code somewhere that I can try to modify?

there is some limited anti - doubleclicking built into windows (theres an option called "detect accidental doubleclicks" under TweakUI)

Hi guys, I know that this topic is old, but as I was experiencing the same problem (with the same Hardware (Dell Optical USB Mouse). I think I have discovered the problem.

I decided (as I always do when things are out of warranty) to open the mouse (which I've done many times with other mice), and see what's going on, as I was pretty sure it was due to a physical problem, perhaps dirt or something got under the button (where the click is). Several attempts of bending slightly (as to not break it) the left mouse button to be closer/further away from the clicker (on the mouse's circuit board), I think finally the problem has gone away.

Basically, the problem is (I believe) due to the fact that mouses are made of plastic and there are certain games (zuma, big money, jewel quest, chuzzle deluxe and other such games where the user ends up clicking a LOT!) that overuse the mouse, and well, the left mouse button's plastic gets worn down a bit (or rather, bent out of shape).

Solution: Open the mouse (unscrew the screw(s) underneath it and take the buttons out and push the left around to make them the same height. Put the mouse back together again.

This must be the only solution, as my mouse was working fine without the buttons etc, just pressing the clicker on the circuit board, and not with the plastic buttons.

Well, I hope this helps anyone who searched for this topic and ended up here like I did!
