How to Use This Test
Click in the Test Area
Click anywhere inside the test area to begin. The test detects left, right, and middle mouse button clicks.
Test Each Button
Click with the left button, right button, and middle button (scroll wheel click). Each detection will be highlighted in the corresponding card.
Test the Scroll Wheel
Scroll up and down within the test area. The scroll direction and timestamp will be displayed in real time.
Verify All Inputs Register
Ensure each button click and scroll action is detected. Multiple clicks on the same button should all register with timestamps.
What Your Results Mean
All Buttons Detected
Left, right, and middle clicks all registered correctly. Your mouse buttons and switches are functioning properly.
Some Buttons Not Detected
One or more mouse buttons didn't register. This may indicate a worn switch, dirty button mechanism, or connection issue.
Scroll Wheel Works
Scroll up and down events were detected. The scroll wheel encoder and button mechanism are functioning correctly.
Intermittent Detection
Some clicks registered while others didn't. This can indicate a loose connection, dirty switch, or wireless interference.
Common Problems and Fixes
Middle click doesn't register
Some mice don't have a middle button. If your scroll wheel clicks, that should work as middle click. Try pressing the scroll wheel firmly. Some browsers may also handle middle-click differently.
Right-click opens context menu instead of registering
The test should capture the click before the context menu appears. If you see the context menu but no detection, try clicking more quickly. The mousedown event fires before the contextmenu event.
Wireless mouse has intermittent detection
Replace or recharge the batteries. Move the wireless receiver closer to the mouse. Remove other wireless devices that may cause interference. Try re-pairing the mouse.
Mouse clicks register multiple times
Ghost clicks or double-firing can indicate a worn-out mouse switch. Clean around the buttons with compressed air. If the issue persists, the microswitch may need replacement.
Scroll wheel doesn't register
Ensure you're scrolling within the test area. Some mice require the scroll wheel to be pressed (clicked) while scrolling. Check if the scroll wheel is physically obstructed or dirty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why doesn't the middle click register?
Some mice don't have a middle button, and some browsers handle middle-click differently. The test listens for the 'auxclick' and 'mousedown' events. If your mouse has a scroll wheel that clicks, that usually counts as middle click.
Does this test work with trackpads?
Yes, trackpad taps register as left clicks. Two-finger taps may register as right clicks depending on your OS settings. However, trackpads don't have a physical middle button, so middle click testing requires an actual mouse.
Can I test wireless mouse connectivity?
The test verifies that your mouse sends input events to the browser. If the test detects your clicks, the wireless connection is working. Intermittent detection would indicate connectivity issues.
Why does right-click open a context menu?
Right-clicking in a browser typically opens the context menu. The test captures the mousedown event before the context menu appears, so you should see the detection even with the menu open. You can dismiss the menu by clicking elsewhere.
How do I test the scroll wheel?
Scroll up or down within the test area. The scroll direction and timestamp will be displayed. Both upward and downward scrolling should register separately.
My mouse clicks register multiple times. What's wrong?
Double-clicking or ghost clicks can indicate a worn-out mouse switch, dirty mouse button, or debounce issues in the mouse firmware. Try cleaning around the buttons with compressed air.
