Mouse Click Not Working Properly

subasic.jeremy · Jun 15, 2018

I understand that my problem can be solved easily by buying another mouse, but let's assume I don't have the money for that right now. My HP Omen "gaming" Mouse is being wonky. When I'm playing an FPS like Destiny 2 or something of the like, when I click my right mouse button to aim down the sites of my gun it won't keep me aimed down my sites. If I let a little pressure off of the right mouse button it seems to stop registering that I have it "clicked". I don't even have to "unclick" it for it to do this, just take a very very small amount of pressure off the button. Has anyone taken one of these apart before? There are absolutely NO visible screws in it and I believe it's currently the only mouse I have , so I would like to take it apart and maybe put something in there to make the click better timed. I would say I would like to clean it, and I will, but this has been happening since I bought the mouse a few months ago so it came from the factory like this. Which is my luck with all products like this. Any help would be appreciated thank you.

This:

" this has been happening since I bought the mouse a few months ago so it came from the factory like this".

Defective mouse perhaps? Have you gone past the RMA time limit?

Start with reinstalling the current, applicable mouse drivers. Download from the manufacturer's website.

Failing the above:

Try the mouse on another computer. Try another mouse on you computer. Determine if the problem follows the mouse or stays with your computer.

Very unlikely that taking apart the mouse and trying some modifications will help. Most likely the end results will be a truly broken mouse and/or loss of warranty. Many things are not made to be repaired and, sadly, are made to prevent repair.

Your objective must be and should be is to narrow down the possible reasons for the click problem.

I know that it's an internal problem. I suppose you're right that things aren't designed to be "self repaired" these days, but most of the time it's still doable if you're careful. Not really worried about any warranty since I bought it on clearance

I did end up going and buying another gaming mouse that's base price is cheaper than that of the one I'm complaining about

and it works much better and has more functions. So win for me I guess? Would still like to fix the one from my OP

Give it a go. I.e., try fixing the mouse from the OP.

"No harm, no foul."

Hopefully you will succeed and if you post what you found and did then everyone can benefit. Thanks.
