Windows does not recognize my double click button. Is there a fix I can do for this function to work correctly?

Question

I am using a Logitech Trackman Marble mouse. Opening files the double-click button works fine but when I am saving say a word file I have to use the left mouse button and click it twice instead of just using my double-click button. The same thing would happen when I was using Windows 10 (I now use Windows 11).

Answer 1

I am not trying to use the left button as a double-click. I am using the left button as intended. I have a button that is programmed as a double-click and it works great except when I am saving a file such as a word file.

Answer 2

I can't think of anyone that uses a programmable button in replacement of the actual left or right. Its not like you can set the application to use the double click button instead. As such, that's almost certainly never been tested during design of any UI bits. If the UI doesn't happen to understand it or take it into account then it won't work. Some UI bits may be more focused where it just will not accept that input.

Its difficult to say what the mouse is doing but if its not the left button then it may have a different button ID. That alone would cause it to fail at times.

I'd say the fix here is to not use the mouse that way. Its difficult to say if there's a way to get it working at all times. That's something you'd likely have to test a bunch and try to find something. Probably 99.9% of all computer users would probably never do this.
