Check left click, right click, middle click, scroll wheel up/down, and double-click behavior with instant visual feedback in your browser.
Follow the steps, click left/middle/right, and scroll up/down on the illustration. Once all five actions are detected, your mouse passes.
Press left, middle (wheel click), and right. Each card should highlight and count your presses.
Hover the illustration, scroll the wheel up once, then down once. Both arrows should light up.
Score reaches 100% when all five actions are detected. Use reset to run it again.
Interact directly with the mouse illustration. Each action lights up and counts toward your score.
A mouse test online checks whether standard mouse inputs are registering correctly in your browser. It verifies left click, right click, middle click, scroll wheel up, scroll wheel down, and possible double-click behavior. Use it to diagnose missed clicks, worn switches, scroll wheel skipping, or basic mouse button problems before replacing hardware or installing manufacturer software.
Our mouse tester covers every standard input check in one place.
Verify left click, right click, and middle button independently. Each button lights up on press and resets on release. Confirms all three primary mouse buttons are registering correctly.
Detect if single clicks are being registered as double-clicks—a common symptom of micro-switch wear. Our test highlights each click event so you can see if extra clicks are appearing unexpectedly.
Test scrolling up and down to check for skipping, jumping, or scroll reversal. Identifies worn scroll encoders and debris-related scroll issues before they get worse.
Complete button coverage for all three standard mouse buttons. Side buttons (back/forward) typically require manufacturer software, but left, right, and middle are fully testable here.
Use this tool to verify every button and scroll action.
Our mouse tester uses JavaScript event listeners to detect mouse button presses (left, right, middle) and scroll wheel movements. When you click or scroll, the browser fires events that we capture and visualize in real-time. We track each button's state, count clicks, measure scroll direction and speed, and detect potential double-click issues. All processing happens locally in your browser with no data sent to servers.
This browser-based test accurately detects standard mouse buttons (left, right, middle) and scroll wheel events. However, there are limitations: Side buttons and extra gaming buttons may not be detected by browsers. DPI and sensor accuracy cannot be tested through web events. Some gaming mice with proprietary drivers may behave differently. For comprehensive mouse diagnostics, manufacturer software may be needed.
Buttons should light up immediately when pressed and return to normal on release. Delayed or stuck highlights may indicate switch issues or driver problems.
If single clicks register as double-clicks, your mouse likely has switch wear. This is a common issue in older mice and may require repair or replacement.
Scroll should register smoothly in both directions. Skipping, reversing, or erratic behavior indicates encoder issues or debris inside the scroll mechanism.
Common situations where an online mouse test is essential.
Unintentional double-clicks and scroll jumps directly affect competitive gaming performance. Verify your mouse is registering inputs correctly before ranked matches.
Always test a second-hand mouse before buying. Check all three buttons for correct registration and scroll for smoothness; these are common wear points on used mice.
Use our click test to confirm whether your mouse has switch wear. Seeing two click events per press confirms the problem and helps you decide between repair, warranty claim, or replacement.
Mouse driver updates occasionally change button behavior or scroll sensitivity. Run a quick test after updates to confirm all inputs are responding as expected.
Common mouse problems and how to diagnose them.
Cause: Micro-switch wear or too-short debounce time. Fix: Adjust double-click speed in OS settings, clean the switch with compressed air, update firmware, or replace the micro-switch. Check manufacturer warranty—many brands cover this.
Cause: Dust or debris in the scroll encoder, or worn encoder wheel. Fix: Blow compressed air around the scroll wheel, reduce scroll speed in OS settings. If persistent, the encoder may need replacement.
Cause: Loose USB connection, driver conflict, or faulty switch. Fix: Try a different USB port, unplug and replug, reinstall mouse drivers, or test in another browser. If only one button fails consistently, the switch may need replacement.

Answers about mouse button tests, scroll wheel checks, double-click issues, and browser limits.
Keep your mouse performing reliably for longer.
Dirt and grit on mouse feet or your mousepad increase friction and affect sensor tracking accuracy. Wipe the feet with isopropyl alcohol and clean your mousepad monthly.
Cloth pads work better with optical sensors; hard pads reduce friction for faster movement. Using an inappropriate surface can cause cursor jitter and affect sensor accuracy.
Logitech G Hub, Razer Synapse, SteelSeries GG, and other manufacturer apps provide firmware updates that can fix double-click issues, improve polling rate stability, and add features.
Some gaming mouse software lets you adjust debounce time. If your mouse double-clicks, try increasing debounce. If rapid clicks aren't registering, reduce it. Finding the right balance improves reliability.

Tips for clicks, scroll wheels, and performance.
Mouse polling rate tests can jump between values because of movement speed, DPI, browser event delivery, wireless mode, CPU load, and USB power settings.
Web-based mouse polling tests measure browser-delivered pointer event frequency, not raw USB polling. Learn why ~125Hz appears, why high polling rates are indistinguishable on the web, and how to interpret results.
