Online mouse button and double-click test

This mouse test checks every button, the scroll wheel and the pointer rate. Click and scroll inside the test area: buttons light up, and unwanted double clicks are flagged.

Mouse double-clicking issue

Worn switches bounce and send two clicks.

Polling rate

Office mice report 125 Hz, gaming mice 500–8000 Hz.

Middle and side buttons

If middle click does nothing elsewhere but works here, the problem is software settings, not hardware.

How to test

Mouse double-clicking issue

Worn switches bounce and send two clicks. If a warning appears for single clicks, clean the switch, adjust the debounce time in the mouse software, or replace the switch.

Polling rate

Office mice report 125 Hz, gaming mice 500–8000 Hz. Browsers may cap the reported rate at the screen refresh rate, so values are estimates.

Middle and side buttons

If middle click does nothing elsewhere but works here, the problem is software settings, not hardware.

Mouse FAQ

Does this work in all browsers?

Yes, in current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari; side buttons may not report on Safari.

Quick start

Check your mouse quickly

Click each button, scroll both ways and watch for double-click warnings.

What to look for

  • Double click warnings: two clicks registered within a few milliseconds mean the switch is chattering. See fix mouse double clicking.
  • Scroll: each notch should register once, in the right direction.
  • Side buttons: back/forward should register as buttons 4 and 5.
  • Polling rate: an estimate of how often the mouse reports movement; move it quickly in circles to measure.
