Mouse clicking issues, should I change of mouse?

  I've had for quite awhile now issues with my mouse buttons : when
clicking once, it would act as if i double, even trippled click, while
holding the left button, as for dragging something, something it would
"drop", as if I had quickly released and pressed again the button,
etc...

Does it mean that there's something wrong with my mouse and that I
should just throw it away and buy another, or can it be fixed?

Most likely, yes.   You could fiddle with the driver
settings but it's most likely the button switch.


From a typical american consumer point of view, yes do that.
From a french point of view, I don't know?  It is easy to
fix on some mice but if you haven't the experience in fixing
it yourself nor an inclination to buy parts besides any for
a mouse then it's not cost or time effective.


Yes it could be fixed, there's a small microswitch soldered
onto the circuit board, usually, so you would simply find a
compatible switch online and swap it... easy to do if you're
used to doing such things, but more time than it's worth if
you're not.

No, I tried messing with the driver, I tried with and without the
driver, and it's still the same..


lol, oh you know, the american and french consumer POV are not as
different as you seem to think.


I wouldn't know how to do that (i didnt even know you could change
parts in a mouse, and I don't see how you'd do anyways) and then it's
only a $15 ass mouse, i just guess I won't try to sell this one and buy
a new one for about $30, but that's still $30 from my pocket, that's
why I wanted to make sure the only buying a new mouse could fix my
problem.

I'm a little startled that anyone would pay anything for an ass mouse.
That seems more like the type of thing you would pay to be rid of.

Back to reality: Borrow a mouse from a friend to be sure that a new
mouse will solve your problem.  You most likely have a bad mouse, but
you can test that assumption for free if you don't want to risk your
$30.  Good luck.
