How to Solve Mouse Scroll Wheel Double Click Problem

The double-click problem with a mouse scroll wheel can be frustrating and can cause a lot of inconvenience while working on your computer. Here are some solutions that you can try to fix this issue.

Replace the Mouse

This is a simple, easy way to solve the problem, but that may not be the reason you're reading this post.

Replace the Mouse Scroll Wheel Switch

You can fix the problem by opening the mouse and replacing the mouse scroll wheel switch.

Most mice can be opened by unscrewing the screws on the bottom.

However, since the position of the screws varies by mouse type, you need to search for the opening method by model name, and you also need a soldering iron to replace the switch.

Buying a new one might be better.

Use Autohotkey Script

If you're using Autohotkey, you can solve this problem using the following Autohotkey script.

1 2 3 4 5 6

MButton:: if (A_PriorHotkey <> "MButton" or A_TimeSincePriorHotkey > 290) { Click Middle } return

This script allows only one scroll wheel click even if there are multiple wheel clicks within '0.29' seconds. You can modify the time by editing '290'.

However, it can be cumbersome to run this script every time you turn on your computer.

To solve this problem, you can add this script to your Windows startup programs.
