How to use: Mouse Tester

Move the pointer into the test surface.

Press and release each mouse button, then roll the wheel in both directions.

Use the double-click diagnostic if one physical click appears more than once.

What the result actually measures

The tester records mouse and pointer events inside the test surface. It shows which button index arrived, whether the button is held, how long it remained down and which wheel direction was reported.

Measurement boundary: A browser event does not reveal the physical cause of a failure. Driver utilities, accessibility settings, wireless links and button remapping can alter what the page receives.

How to interpret the output

Clean press and release

Each deliberate click should create a matching down/up sequence without extra changes.

Auxiliary buttons

Back/forward buttons are usually reported as additional indices, but a browser or driver may also navigate unless the focused surface can intercept them.

Wheel direction

The sign and size of wheel events can vary by OS settings, smooth scrolling and hardware.

Troubleshooting unexpected results

Side buttons navigate the page

Keep the pointer inside the test surface and try the dedicated mode. Some browser/driver combinations reserve the navigation action.

Wireless clicks disappear

Retest with a fresh battery, closer receiver, another USB port and a wired mode if available.

Frequently asked questions

Can this measure click latency?

Not physical switch-to-USB latency. It can measure intervals between browser events, which include the entire software path.

Does the test block right-click menus?

Only inside the active test surface so the secondary button can be observed.

Are mouse movements uploaded?

No. The current diagnostic session stays in the page.
