Mouse Click Not Working

• Restart your computer/Restart mouse if needed: Restarting your mouse can sometimes fix temporary glitches or clear out any temporary files that might cause issues. Be sure to shut down your computer completely, turn your mouse off, and remove the batteries to ensure the mouse can fully power cycle.
• Try another USB port on your computer: If your computers USB ports have become worn then this can impact how your mouse functions. If you have another avalable port then try plugging your mouse into a different port.
• Replace your mouse's batteries: If you're using a wireless mouse, check to see if the battery is low or close to being depleted.
• Clean the mouse buttons. Dirt, dust, or debris around the buttons can block proper clicking. Use compressed air or a microfiber cloth.

Some applications can hijack your mouse, and can interfear with your mouse's normal functions. Try closing any open applications you have open to see if any are interfearing with your mouse. Some of the following apps have been known to cause issues...

• Browsers: Extensions can hijack mouse input. Try disabling them.
• Games: The mouse button may be rebound to another function. Check game input settings.
• Productivity software: Some CAD or design programs handle clicks differently; review their configuration.

Your mouse clicks can be impacted depending on how your computers settings are configured. Double check your system settings for anything that might impact how your mouse behaves.

Open Settings, Devices, then Mouse. Once in the Mouse page make sure that your primary button is set to left. You'll also want to make sure that Turn on ClickLock is disabled as well, as this can impact how your mouse handles clicking.

Open System Settings, then Mouse. Make sure that secondary click is set to Click Right Side.

An outdated or corrupted mouse driver or system driver (USB or Bluetooth adapter) impacts how your mouse interprets button clicks.

• MacOS and Linux operating systems will use a generic driver for mice; however, if your mouse's manufacturer has drivers available through their website, then try downloading the latest driver software from the manufacturer's site.
• Windows 10 and 11 will automatically search for new drivers; however, you might need to prompt the operating system to install the latest drivers. Hit the Windows Key and I to launch the settings application, and choose Windows Update from the left menu. From there, simply select the Advanced options and Optional updates, then Driver Updates to search for the driver for your mouse.

Solution: Open the mouse and ensure the posts are aligned with the switches

Your mouse’s left and right buttons have small posts that relay physical motion to the switches inside. Misalignment of these posts with the input nubs of the switches, or a misaligned circuit board, can prevent the mechanical motion of the button from reaching the internal switches.

• Adjust your mouse's post position: Open up your mouse and loosen the screws holding down the circuit board. Move the board a little to get it so that the nubs of the switches are directly under the posts leading from the buttons, and tighten the screws back down on the circuit board to hold it firmly in place.
• Look for any internal damage: Look for any damaged components. Pay special attention to your mouses switches.
• Replace any damaged components: If you find any damage to any internal components, then the components will need to be replaced. Some mice, such as the ROG Spatha X, feature user replaceable switches. Otherwise, you will need some soldering knowledge to replace internal components.
