How do I test my mouse buttons?

Click the left, right, or middle mouse buttons anywhere in the test area. The tool will instantly detect and display which button was pressed with visual indicators. The click counter will also increment for each button press. If a button doesn't register, it may indicate a hardware problem.

Why is my right-click not working in the test?

The tool automatically disables the browser's context menu to allow proper right-click testing. If right-clicks still aren't detected, try these steps: 1) Check if right-click works in other applications, 2) Try a different USB port, 3) Test with another mouse to rule out hardware failure. If only this tool doesn't detect right-clicks, try refreshing the page.

Can I test mouse side buttons (forward/back buttons)?

Yes! If your mouse has side buttons (typically used for browser forward/back navigation), they will be detected and displayed when pressed. Most gaming mice and advanced mice have these extra buttons. The tool can detect buttons 4 and 5 (side buttons) in addition to the standard left, right, and middle buttons.

How do I know if my scroll wheel is broken?

Scroll up and down in the test area while watching the scroll indicators. If scrolling feels inconsistent, skips lines, or doesn't register at all, your scroll wheel may be damaged or dirty. Try cleaning it with compressed air first. If problems persist after cleaning, the scroll encoder may be worn out and require replacement.

What does the cursor position display tell me?

The cursor position shows real-time X and Y coordinates as you move your mouse. This helps verify that cursor tracking is smooth and accurate. If coordinates jump erratically or don't update smoothly, it may indicate sensor issues, a dirty sensor, or an incompatible surface. Try cleaning the sensor and using a proper mouse pad.

Why does my mouse double-click when I single-click?

Unintended double-clicking is a common issue with worn mouse switches. This happens when the internal switch contacts become degraded over time. You can verify this in the test area - if single clicks register as multiple clicks, your mouse switches are likely failing. This typically requires replacing the mouse or, for advanced users, replacing the switches.

Does this work with wireless mice?

Yes! The mouse tester works with all types of mice including wired USB mice, wireless mice (RF or Bluetooth), gaming mice, trackballs, and laptop touchpads. The tool detects input from any pointing device recognized by your browser.

Can I test my gaming mouse with this tool?

Absolutely! This tool is perfect for testing gaming mice. You can verify all buttons work correctly, test side buttons and extra programmable buttons, check scroll wheel responsiveness, and ensure cursor tracking is accurate. However, it won't test advanced features like DPI switching or RGB lighting.

My mouse works in other programs but not in the test. Why?

If your mouse works elsewhere but not in this tool, try these steps: 1) Refresh the page, 2) Try a different browser, 3) Disable browser extensions that might interfere with mouse events, 4) Check if your browser has hardware acceleration enabled. The tool uses standard web APIs that work in all modern browsers.

How can I test if my mouse is good for gaming?

Use the test area to check: 1) All buttons respond instantly without delay, 2) Cursor movement is smooth and precise, 3) No unintended double-clicks occur, 4) Scroll wheel is responsive. For gaming, you want zero input lag and perfect button registration. If you notice any delays or missed clicks, the mouse may not be suitable for competitive gaming.
