switch control with mouse

i recently got a keyboard and mouse for my ipad pro to use switch control for gaming. i made all my necessary switches for their recipe, but when i activate the switch control and click with my mouse, it acts as a long press (basically presses and holds) instead of clicking just once - only happens when switch control is on!

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16
