Mouse double clicks with only one click

I'm running Win 7 Pro x64 and IE11.

My mouse click appears to be highly sensitive and does multiple clicks when I only click once. For example, if I open the calculator and click on the various number buttons, I will get double or triple numbers.

I've done a complete clean-up and I've removed flash player, but the problem still persists.

Is this a common issue and is there a solution?

Regards

Have you tried another mouse.

I don't have one at the moment, but I looking for a good replacement for my Microsoft Standard Wireless Optical Mouse that came with my Microsoft Wireless Multimedia Keyboard 1.1.

The replacement mouse will hopefully work with the Keyboard wireless transceiver.

What does Flash Player have to do with your mouse ? Why did you remove it, you need it.

I always try to eliminate recent changes to the system when I troubleshoot. I hadn't installed Flash Player on this clean install and hadn't noticed any problems except for a few websites that require the Flash Player to play videos.

I've only installed Flash Player two times and removed it each time.

Some of these add-ons cause problems and Flash Player is one.

Your problem seems to be caused by a dirtied-out or oxidized (in other words, "rusting") microswitches. Do this, my friend. It works.

My personal tips:
- WARNING: make sure you only pry open the microswitches, NOT removing it from the logic board.
- before you reassemble the microswitches, soak all the copper parts first with WD-40 or equivalent.

I think the cleaning was very effective. The mouse is operating like new.

Thanks again for all the help.
