Why does my mouse do this?

Welcome John Mark Danseco,

Thank you for posting the video examples. From your description, it sounds like a single mouse click or action may be registering multiple times, which can make Windows and applications difficult to use. 

To narrow this down, could you please confirm: 

• Is this a USB mouse, wireless mouse, or Bluetooth mouse? 
• Does the issue happen only in games, or also in Windows (for example, File Explorer, Start menu, or web browsers)? 
• Have you tried a different mouse to see if the same behavior occurs? 

In the meantime, please try these quick checks: 

1. Adjust double-click speed 
   • Press Windows + R, type control mouse, and press Enter. 
   • Under the Buttons tab, move the Double-click speed slider to the middle position and test. 
2. Reinstall the mouse driver 
   • Right-click Start and select Device Manager 
   • Expand Mice and other pointing devices 
   • Right-click your mouse and select Uninstall device 
   • Restart your PC and Windows will reinstall the driver automatically 
3. Disable ClickLock (if enabled) 
   • Open Mouse Properties 
   • Under Buttons, ensure Turn on ClickLock is unchecked
