My mouse is broken and I am too lazy to buy a new one. The problem is with the left click button. A simple physical click will result in several clicks in Windows. There is already a debouncing circuit in the mouse to prevent this type of behavior, but it is no longer effective. How can I increase the debounce time in software? Or another to put it is how can I tell to Windows to ignore multiple mouse clicks if the time between them is less than 0.1 sec.
The free (and open source) tool AutoHotkey allows users to write custom scripts that interact with the keyboard and mouse. In particular, one user has written a script called "Buggy Mouse"(Fixed link to wayback machine) which "sets your mouse's minimum double-click speed (preventing single-clicks from being seen as double-clicks)". It does this by ignoring multiple clicks that occur too close to each other.
You may need to adjust the DoubleClick_Min parameter at the top of the script which determines the minimum amount of time between mouse events to be considered as two independent clicks: I found that the default value caused legitimate double-clicks to be considered a bounce. The value of 75 seems to work well for me, however.
Sorry I can't post comments, but I wanted to add to daviddg's answer. Searching the scripts section of the AutoHotkey web site did not find anything for "Buggy Mouse". However, I did find a script on this post: -software-fix-for-double-clicking-mouse
I have a mouse that I bought from eBay and has two buttons on the side. For some reason, these keys don't do anything. In the modifier keys section of the keyboard settings, it called the mouse "SiliconWin mouse", I changed all the keys to command and no command worked. I thought these keys served no purpose but I later found if I pressed an application in the dock with the key, it would do the same thing as a right-click. Again I checked and tried to use the keys as right-clicks but did not work. Is it possible to change the functionality of the key?
Though I have never used it myself I have seen lots of discussions that point to that as a solution to exactly the problem you have. It's not free, a license will cost you $20. I imagine you could download it and give it a try and see if it allows you to do what you need to do. But at twenty bucks it costs as much (or more) as a cheap mouse so the economics of the situation may not be in your favor.
You need to find the button numbers for the buttons on your mouse. Run xev. You will see a litle white windows appear, put your mouse in it and press your mouse buttons (it's best to do this one button at a time). You should get output like this for each button:
Unfortunately, this can trick some games to use that controller instead of mouse & keyboard. This can (rarely) cause some games that don't have internal controller settings to become unplayable until this service is shut off.
This will allow you to increase and maximize you mouse's DPI, monitor battery, enable smooth scrolling and side scrolling. To get the multi window and zoom button working you can visit this site which walks you through the easy steps to get the functionality you are looking for:
I too have the g700s gaming mouse. The good news is that it was expensive (for a mouse) and the manufacture actually built it to a high standard. The functions for the mouse are stored in the mouse. The bad news is to configure it correctly you need to use the logitech software that only runs in windows.
So...basically you need to plug the mouse into a windows box, and configure it exactly how you want it. I'd recommend utilizing the switch profiles function so you can set it up good for normal usage, ie: running your linux desktop, compiz functions (switching apps, switching workspaces, toggling maximize, etc), and then make another profile for gaming (possibly with a different refresh rate) and the gaming buttons. As for compiz consider setting the 4 side thumbs buttons to alt, ctl, shift, superkey, as this will make using switching easier with the scroll wheel. alt + scroll wheel up becomes thumb button 1 + scroll wheel up.
The key bindings described above works great, but consider battlefield 4 also has a terrible time recognizing the mouse as a mouse with 10 buttons so for that I had to map my 4 thumb buttons to = , \ and ;. But obviously in linux this is silly, and to re-bind the = key to "next app" is a lesson in futility, especially when coding hahahaha.
type can be other than keystroke, and code can be other than PageUp, value is 1 for pressed and 0 for releasedyes, your mouse can trigger keystrokes, the system will interpret it the same as keyboards, its all just events from event devices.
Finally, log out and in again from the desktop for these changes to take effect. You can now scroll up and down in browsers and other programs by pressing and holding the mouse back and forward buttons.
btnx might be a simple solution for button remapping with Logitech mouses as it should be working with all brands. It has an easy graphical interface and can learn about available buttons. btnx was part of the standard repositories years ago, but has been removed. It is currently available here: oliverstar/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
The relative mouse feature provides an option to interpret the mouse position in a relative rather than an absolute manner. Apps that demand relative mouse input rather than absolute require this capability.
The relative mouse is a per-session feature. It does not persist after reconnecting to a disconnected session. Re-enable the feature every time you connect or reconnect to the published Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and Citrix DaaS (formerly Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops service).

Surface Calibration allows you to optimize the Razer Precision Sensor to any surface for better tracking. You can configure all Razer and third-party mouse mats with this feature. See the answer below for more details.
Yes, but for basic functions only. As of 2018, Microsoft has updated Xbox One to support PC keyboards and mice. However, you cannot use a mouse on Home, settings, in Edge, or within the Xbox user interface while navigating the dashboard. You will also need to use your controller to configure the mouse.
The Dell Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse must be paired both outside the operating system and then again after the operating system loads. Below are the instructions for connecting the keyboard and mouse outside of the operating system. This works even if you have previously connected the keyboard or mouse and they are no longer paired.
Press the connection button on the USB receiver. When the connection is made, the Bluetooth LED on the mouse stops blinking and stays steadily on for a few moments, indicating the connection between the mouse and the computer has been established. The Bluetooth LED on the mouse then turns off and remains off.
After a computer restart due to a Windows update or for any other reason, the Wireless Bluetooth keyboard and mouse are no longer paired after the Operating System loads, the keyboard and mouse may lock up or will not be available.
When you enable rocker gestures, you can navigate backwards and forwards through pages by rocking your fingers between the right and left mouse buttons. Simply click and hold one button, click the other, then release the first before releasing the second. With a little practice, you can speed through web pages with this gesture.
