Mousey keybounce...

[SteamWake]

I dont know if you guys remember 'keybounce' but it was a problem with early PC's where the computer would 'scan' the keyboard for input so fast that one press of the key would end up entering three or four charecterssss.

Well now my USB mouse has a keybounce behaviour on the left click button. Where a single click ends up being a double click. Has lead to some double posting attemps :haha: woops sorry mods.

I vaguely remember a clock or timing setting for a mouse but since its on a USB bus I dont see that being an option.

I tried changing the two click speed in the mouse settings with no change.

Any suggestions other than replacing the mouse?

The switch is going bad.

EDIT: Far too much posting on SubSim!

Cool, learned something. :)

Can't think of anything else than replacing the mouse though, sorry. :(

heh to tell my age..

I remember one of the first programs you would load on a TRS80 would be "debounce.exe" :woot: Off a cassette tape :D

Coding was a nightmare without it :haha:

Oh well Ill live with it till next month. Power bills this month are outrageous after a 12 day record setting cold snap.

If your so inclined, get hold of some electrical contact cleaner, and plug in the spray nozzle/tube, pull the mouse apart and spray tightly around the switch push button, in 90% of cases this works well!!:yep: BTW, this spray is also good for cleaning potentiometers (volume controls), when you vary the knob and you hear a scratchy sound (turning responds erratically)!:up:
