Why does my Mac keep right clicking when I am clicking left? Doesn’t matter which mouse - Bluetooth or wired - they’re all popping up with a right-click, drop down menu whether I click left or right. I checked prior posts and there was one similar to this problem. The responder said to “Check System Preferences Mouse pane (or Trackpad pane). For the Mouse pane, make sure the Primary mouse button is set for the one on the left.” THERE IS NO “PRIMARY MOUSE BUTTON!” I have checkbox buttons for: [] Scroll direction: Natural [] Secondary Click (with options for click on right side and click on left side; none of these permutations changes the left-click/right-click problem) [] Smart Zoom There’s more to the problem as well; hard to describe. Especially when I’m clicking like a madman trying for a normal action. Mac is up to date with Catalina 10.15.7.

why does my mac keep right clicking when i am not trying to right click? This question is asked already but back in 2012. I am not sure if you guys are facing this issue on a 2020 i9 Macbook Pro. I have an external mouse. When I am reading a doc, or watching a video, the right click menu keeps popping up. Are there any adjustments I need to do? Kindly help me.

Are you using a 3rd party mouse or the Apple Magic Mouse?
