A story of two young batteries who went out to see the world.

Depends on how it is constructed, but usually nothing you can do.

Maybe dust mites inside? But it is too young to have them.

Mouse button switches are usually miniature alcoswitch types with pretty good immunity to 'bounce'.

You should check your computer mouse reader software settings - they can be adjusted to ignore clicks that repeat too quickly.

In Windows; Control panel - mouse - double-click speed (~ sliding adjustment)

If it is the swiches and only the left one gives trouble, open the mouse up and desolder/swap the two switches. (There is no right mouse button double-click).

The store had maybe 20 models of mouse for sale, some over 100 dollars, gaming mice. This was the cheapest, except for one wired mouse. They had 3 or 4 hooks full of this one, and the webpage and one of the hooks promoted it. Never heard of Teraware, but they had other stuff by that brand.

The mouse was only $7.81, actually 24.90 Sols, S/24.90. I'll have to see what the cheapest wireless mouse costs in the US. (This makes the wired mouse about 3 dollars!!) I had to look on my credit card statement, or the store webpage. I couldnt' remember if it was 7.50 or 15 dollars. Things, including restaurants and cabrides are pretty cheap in Peru, but you can't buy a sim there now. Must have an esim or roaming and when I bought roaming, it wouldn't work. The reason they gave is that my phone hasn't got Band 71. It doesn't, but they use that band in the USA and not Peru, so why should it matter if I'm in Peru. Was she just blowing me off?

After my mouse didnt work and I bought a new one, then the keyboard didn't work, and I realized it's the hub that is no good, So, I have two other USB hubs around here, and I have to find one before I can plug in both mice. I've already looked for them, so this will take a few days. I'll get back to you.

So, you're saying that if the switch is bad, it won't matter when it's on the right side.

I found a screw under the batteries, to take the mouse apart, and the switches are the same, just rotated 90^. Part of the label is in Chinese but it seems to say BOMJS, but searching for BOMJS microswitch finds nothing, except BONUS and BOSCH. It might say BONUS but Bonus is just a distributor.

Anyhow those sound like good ideas, and the second one will impress you people if it works.

I'll tell you someeting else. Capital One advertised heavily for years that they change no foreign transaction fees. But when I had a problem in 2019, the only way into the app or the webpage was for them to send a code to my USA phone, my cell phone with my USA number. But I had removed that sim and put in a local sim. So I couldn't reach them. Don't they know that some people change sims. My other bank has 5 ways to get a code, inclding email. They told me when I got home that the app would have worked if I'd used it before I left, but they didn't tell me that before I left.

Switch to 2026 and like several banks, they no longer ask you to tell them if you're going out of the country. The night I got there I charged a taxi, and 4 days later I get an alert from Capita One, Dark Web activity detected. It looks like spam to me so I go via the banks webpage and follow it along to Creditwise where it says my email password has been seen on the darkweb. When? May of 2024, and now they are writing me!! I think maybe they or someone wrote me in 2025 too.

Tben 2 hours later, I get an email from them saying there is a document waiting for me. I have to log in to their site and then I have to call an 800 number, and she sends me a link and with the phone I have to take a picture of my driver's license. 4 times it says there was a problem on OUR end, on the 5th try it works, but then it wants the back of the driver's license and the first try fails and now they want me to go back to the beginning again, the front of the drivers license. So I give up. Sure enough, my card is blocked, the woman won't let me see my webpage so I can tell if it's serious or not and I use another card for the remaining 6 days. When I get back to the US, again they want me to take pictures of the drivers license with the phone, and I say, Don't you have a backup plan? She says, "Can I call you on this phone number?" and I say, Yes, of course, and she calls me and I answer, and she says I'm verified. From one extreme to the other.

PUNCH LINE: So it turns out there was no problem except that I was makinh a charge in Peru, after they no longer want to know if I'm leaving the country. She said they continue to do security checks, so they knew the charge was in Peru and that made it suspicious. So I could't use the card for the 10 days I was there, and I'll never count on it again.

Plus I have to calculate the exthange rate from the credit card and debit card I did use, but I think it was about the same. I'll get back to you on that.

USAians never travel abroad, they know and encourage that :-D :-P

I tried that and it didn't seem to work. Perhaps because much of the problem was not doing double-clicks. Instead it was doing what were seen as double single-clicks. Opening an email and then immediately clicking on whatever was in the email. The setting doesn't cover that.

It didn't seem to do this im Peru. Maybe it's the water.

A long term project.

The short term project was buying another mouse, Technet, for $10. Seems to work fine.

Save the next owner some grief by marking the bad mouse with the appropriate lettering. NFG.

OKay.
