Go to the Apple menu and choose “System Preferences”.One setting in particular can be useful to adjust: How to Stop Single Click Register as Double Click on MacĪ common software reason that single clicks are registered as double-clicks, or at least perceived as such, is mouse settings on the individual Mac OS installation. If you don’t have one on hand, you can always get a new USB mouse as it is quite cheap. Trying out a different external USB mouse is a pretty easy way to determine if the problem is a hardware one or not. For example, I have a faulty Logitech mouse that routinely records incorrect click activity despite being in pristine condition, and I have a beat again up Logitech mouse that works great. The physical condition of the mouse or trackpad can also make a difference, but that alone isn’t always indicative of a problem. If you regularly experience incorrect click records and it randomly cannot click with a mouse or trackpad, you should also thoroughly check the hardware health and battery (if applicable). This is especially relevant if you are experiencing more than just incorrect click registration, but also other unusual behavior with a mouse or trackpad, such as incorrect or missing cursor movements. I’ve seen a mouse get confused after being damaged by water contact, so if you’ve ever spilled coffee on a mouse, thrown it out the window, or used it as a mace to ward off an alien invasion, it could be a real physical issue causing the click activity to malfunction. In rare cases, the mouse accessory may be damaged and in such a situation it may be necessary to replace the accessory.
So cleaning the surface of the mouse or trackpad is a good start.
A grubby mouse that’s full of gunk, dust, and whatever can cause clicks to register incorrectly or not at all. If you suspect this is the case, make sure the mouse is clean first.
