Logitech mouse generates unintended double clicks

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner.

I have the same problem with a wired logitech mouse (m-sbf69)

Very annoying, and i don't know what to do about it.

I used this combination for over a year, and it only started after i installed Mavericks.

I experienced same problem here its very hard to work way too non productive Im loosing a lot of time doing simple command with this double click issues....enlightenment anyone? started after I installed Mavericks.

Any response from apple support team????😟

Logitech released LCC 3.9 yesterday with bug fixes for Mavericks. The update appears to have fixed a 30 sec pointer freeze I was having at startup. Hope it helps with your issue.

Same problem here. I was using a mouse of another brand and thought this may be the problem, but now I'm using a magic mouse and it still happens. I do not remember having this kind of issue before upgrading to Mavericks. And worse: sometimes when browsing the web it doesn't even click. I have to reload the page and even doing this, sometimes it still doesn't work. I almost was not able to log in here to post on the forum.

I'm using an iMac.

Same double click instead of single click issues for me. driving me bonkers!

I have a Logitech Performance MX mouse on a mid 2012 MBP with OS X 10.9 (13A603)

So far I have tried the following fixes and nothing has affected the problem for me:

- Installed latest Logitech driver (3.9.0)

- Adjusted Mouse System Preference "Double click speed"

- Reset the SMC

Arrrgghhh....

Same problem for me using Anywhere MX. Additionally, some left-clicks will do nothing, or the dreaded double-click with single tap. Tried upping click speed to maximum and it helps a little. Also installed SteerMouse and it did not help. Have never used the Logitech drivers. The only thing saving me is my graphics tablet.

Here is a follow-up to my issue...

For me, it turned out I have a *hardware* issue with my mouse. As to why this coincided with my Mavericks upgrade, hard to say... I guess unlucky?

Hopefully this follow-up will help anyone with this same issue.

(Many logitech mice commonly suffer the same fate.)

1. Verify you have a hardware issue with your mouse.

Easiest way: switch primary click button to the other side (Left/Right) - Test.

For me, the double click issue was only happening on my left clicker == hardware issue.

Steps:

-> System Preferences :: Mouse :: Primary mouse button :: Change setting (Left or Right)

-> Test with buttons reversed

2. Buy a new mouse or try to repair.

This instructable will guide you on how to repair the worn out clicker.

Good luck 🙂

This issue persists in the El Capitan and it is getting very annoying. I even replaced a wireless mouse with a new cordless mouse just to be getting same issues!

What the **** Apple, what are you playing on at here?! I've never had any issues until upgrading to El Capitan, now my workflow is completely screwed. Everytime I try to select multiple files it keeps opening them. I try to rename a file it instead opens it. I try to move multiple files, it instead opens them.

It doesn't matter how I set double click sensitivity in the System Preferences, nor does it matter if I have Logitech drivers installed or not.

It also doesn't matter if I use an older cordless logitech mouse or a brand new wired mouse. So the issue is definitely not in the mouse!

Year after year you have been making OS X less and less workable. You took all the good stuff out that helped with workflows and productivity and now you're taking away mouse support as well?! What year is this?? Are you really trying to lose all people who chose Apple products due to their performance over Windows and PC?! Disappointing!

Hi Eric,

Thanks for letting me know. I've sent my Feedback as well, but wanted to post here too, just to let people know it's not working and it is mighty frustrating and should by default not be happening, or at least not for sooo long (over a year!).

And it is further frustrating as Mac OS used to be the best OS out there for productivity and efficiency, however now they seem to be forgetting that and are just profit oriented, taking useful features out and letting in more and more bugs and less support. Even the whole hardware line is getting disappointing. So much for investing last 11 years into completely working from OS X platform. :/ As far as I've seen there's many more in the same boat, waiting to upgrade to new hardware, just to be offered 4 year old tech.

I know I know Apple doesn't read this, but as you said, if many people see this, they might raise same worries and hopefully things will start changing...hopefully.

Hi,

I'm having the exact same issue in Mavericks.

Alex.

I have two Anywhere MX mice. They both exhibit this problem with Mavericks. It's definitely a software problem, not the hardware. They don't do this on my laptop which is running 10.8.

I found this thread on the logitech forum and the solution by jlohnes solved my double-clicking issue. It was driving me mad for days. Apparently, it could be due to a static build-up in the mouse.

thanks for that link. seemed like voodoo, but it solved my problem.
