I have a Razor Copperhead mouse, and have for almost a year now, and recently I have noticed that when I single click things, it acts like a double click. At first this was rare, so I didn't think anything of it. Now it is happening probably 30-40% of the time, and it's really annoying.

Any ideas what's causing it or how to fix it?
 
single slick huh.. heh.. this happened to one of my mx510's.. basically the clicker mechanism was borked, never could fix it, i just replaced the mouse with a new one :(
 
heheh my diamondback had the same problem, the microswitches are TERRIBLE in razer mice, but theyre amazing in every other way....

Take it apart (if its out of warranty :p ) and switch your left click switch with one of the extra buttons on the side (physically desolder is the BEST option, although the caps ARE removeable.) careful you do not lose the white piece or break the cover.

hope that helps :)
 
You can probably just change the 'double-click speed' in Window's "mouse" control panel. (First page, 'Buttons', in the 'Double-click speed' section is a slider. The farther to the left it is, the longer between clicks it waits for a double-click. On the lowest setting, something like 3 seconds can pass between single clicks and Windows will think of it as a single double-click.)

Granted, it is PROBABLY hardware related, but this is worth trying. I've certainly never killed a Razer mouse's buttons, and I've had dozens of their mice.
 
One of my first optical mice just started doing this (I had long since given it to my parents). My dad complained that it wasn't always single-clicking when it should, and double-clicking instead.

As mentioned above, the hardware is dying. Relpacing the mouse solved the problem. Check out your warranty and complain to Razer; perhaps you'll have a replacement sent free of charge.

Click to expand...

it IS hardware related :p Razer mice buttons suck ass, but I love them regardless, easy enough to fix if you're patient and careful :)
 
I was about to tell you to check out your Mouse Properties. Since you can set single click to double, and vise-versa. But since it only happens ever so often, nevermind.
 
this happens to me once in a while and is software related. (assuming its not the mouse)
only a reboot fixes it for me
 
I was actually just having this slick (haha) issue with my nearly year old logitech G7. However, it seems to have calmed down since. I looked into it, and turns out the mouse has a 3 year warranty, so I am waiting on the response from logitech and hoping that they will just send me a new one... Id suggest looking into the warranty.
 
I had the same exact problem with my first copperhead. I would try to pry the button up slightly (as some people recommended I do a long time ago) but it would always register as two clicks. I had only owned it like 2-3 months up until that point.

Anyways I contacted razor and had to get them to replace it for me. The new one doesn't have the same issue at all and I've had it for probably over a year.
 
So, today I dug around in my closet, found my old mouse (nyko airflo), just in case, and decided to try to take the Razor apart. Didn't get very far, just pried up the clicker part, and it got kinda stuck, so I took a compressed air can and blew it in there and around there in every way I could think of for about a full minute. Plugged it back in, and it hasn't done it again since. Don't know what fixed it, but it seemed to be working now...

Thanks for the advice!
