wireless mice double pulsing

I am finding that wireless mice seem to be sending two pulses on a left click. This effect is very irritating when it clears two tabs when only one should be cleared. I find this effect on 2 laptops and one desk machine running Linux and one desktop with W7. All using different mice. Has anyone found a cure for this?

Its the EUs fault, all we be well once we leave.

When I've had this problem it has always been a tired left mouse switch (could they all be "tired"?) In the past I've swapped-over switches but mice are so cheap its doubtful whether it's worth the effort.

It sounds like its deliberate. I know that when a sighted person has unsed any of my machines things like single and double clicking get reconfigured so its hard to use the keyboard without changing them back. I'm assuming there is not ability to reverse buttoons in the software, cos if the problem moves, its the mouse if it does not its the softwaare. Brian

It is here. I have a cordless PS2 mouse which seem impossible to find new now. Need it for the old RISC OS computer. Be nice to find a conversion box that allowed a modern and cheap USB cordless to work with PS2.

try CJE Micros. If it exists, he will have one.

There are one or two good converters around. Do you need power to the mouse, tough?

If so, a KVM would do the job. I have a very good one (well, four!) that provides excellent conversion - at a price.

why don't you just use ps2 mice? IME with ball mice, the older they are the better they work.

He doesn't. ;-)

I already have a DVI KVM - the RPC has a digital viewfinder card - which is PS2. The mouse receiver is actually USB, but uses a convertor plug to PS2, which also powers it. I'm using a nice old and clunky PS2 keyboard that I like better than the modern soft touch variety. The snag is a modern USB mouse won't work with that adaptor. Not sure of the reasons.

The one I'm using now is optical.

That's my experience also.

Mice for a long time had 2 interfaces, so you could use an adaptor plug and it would work. But not all do, those don't work with adaptors.
