Very unusual. The issue is due to a failure in "debouncing" the click. Sometimes a single click can give two clicks if there is some problem with the switch or surrounding electronics. You say you're getting this with THREE DIFFERENT mice? Just left button, or also right and middle? Does it happen every click or just rarely?
Yup, just a single click, at first i thought im just clicking way too fast that's why its double clicking but then after a little while even clicking a folder or clicking a program and in games too it was double clicking and then i thought it was just a hardware malfunction but after the new mice arrived im still getting the issue, and yep i tried switching the primary and secondary buttons and the secondary was fine and there was no issue in double clicking,

So when you switch mouse buttons (i.e. to left-handed mode), does the right-button then double-click? And just to be sure this is in ALL apps? Have you tried booting a Linux distro from a USB stick and see if the mouse behaves the same way there? Have you tried the mouse on a different PC/laptop?

Your mouse is defective. Easiest is to buy a new one, but if you're really attached to it for some reason or are strapped for cash you can use AutoHotKeys (3rd party application) to debounce the mouse via software. Let me know if you want to go down that route, and I'll see if I can help with that.

I'd RMA it in that case. No new mouse should produce double clicks when clicked just once.
Anyway, to debounce via software, you need to download and install AutoHotKey:
https://autohotkey.com/
And run this mouse debouncing script (copy and save it with notepad as "debouncer.ahk").
LButton::
If ( A_TimeSincePriorHotkey > 100 )
Send, {Lbutton Down}
return
Lbutton Up::Send, {Lbutton Up}
The number in the script (the "100") is the length of time (in milliseconds) needed to pick up the click bounce (i.e. if it detects two clicks within 100 ms it will issue just a single click) - you can modify it to suit your particular mouse button problem.

Tip: You can compile AutoHotKey including the script into a small single self-contained executable (that does nothing but this script) that you can then simply add to your Windows StartUp folder. You can then uninstall AutoHotKey altogether, and have the script automatically launch invisibly. It's in one of the menus (probably file). It produces a tray icon on launch, so you can close it for whatever reason (e.g. you might find some games don't like AutoHotKey and not register mouse clicks).
