EVE General Discussion

I had this problem when i used a wireless mouse, got corded and it went away.

Been running with a free mouse I got with my computer....for the past 3 years with no problems.

I have a Razer Naga and have the same problem in EVE. Only thing is...of all the games I play, EVE Is the only one with this issue.

So somebody please explain to me how it's the mouse that is the problem? Maybe I am just lucky it isn't a problem with other games. Since it seems to be a widespread issue I found this with a google search.

I will try that when I get home and report back on whether it works or not for EVE. I will keep buying Razer products...one small issue isn't going to kill the company for me. They make a great product for games.

Mouse is borked...

I get weird issues with my mac cordless mouse... but I suspect they are personal related rather than hardware.

My trusty ilntellimouse explorer 3.0 has recently started acting up since the last major patch. The mouse works fine in all other games but will give me double clicks galore in eve. I end up flying off on accident when trying to single click something.

USB connection with XP operating system and the standard MS drivers.

Oddly when I swapped the intellimouse out with an old generic dynex mouse I no longer had double click issues in eve.

Mousebuttons can become worn and start sensing doubled clicks from single clicks. The first time I encountered it was with a microsoft intellimouse a decade ago. As a precaution you should open up your naga software and ensure that it says click, not double click for the left mouse button. Next you may wish to to try changing the double click speed in the windows setting, it could have gotten set to low. Move the slider around a bit, and apply and then move it to your desired setting to ensure that it gets set to the correct frequency. Make sure you naga sotware and firmware are up to date. mouse manufactures will sometimes put microfilter in the software that will ignore extremely high frequency click to help alieviate this issue.

There is some software call mousefix.exe. I've used it for years to fix users issue with old mice. Those it has been a while you should be able to find it. It is a simply small program that intercept the freqency clicks and sends a single in its stead. Nothing fancy, completely free. Do a google search, it comes up.

Lastly, there are guides available to help walk you through owner mainenance/repair. Google "fix naga false double click". It may seem dounting, and may be if you are terrible will your hands, but it really is a simple as finding the switch and giving a dab or two of electronic cleaner. Alcohol (isopropl), not acetone (finger nail polish remover), may some times be substuted. To be clear I said alcohol, not acetone. Acetone will melt the plastic innards faster than you can get it off. Use the ALCOHOL sparingly (that means as little as possible), and work the mechanics. Alcohol! Make a note, if you haven't. :P

Do no do as some say and use wd-40 or some other light mechanical oil. Oil is for flushing organic material or for protecting from oxidation, and it doesn't go away. It stays where you put it until it oxidizes into a gooey, gunky mess that will leave you worse off than where you started. Ever clean a lock or hing with wd-40 and have to do it over and over until it won't move anymore? Its all those gunky stick oxidize hydrocarbons that have been left after the volatile solvents have evaporated. You should have used a graphite or another solid lubricant instead. But I'm off topic. If you use oil, you will be bringing your mouse to a much swifter more persistently annoying demise.

Take care, and good luck. The naga is a fine mouse.

So maybe its a mouse driver problem then?

Ditto, but old model USB Logitech mouse. I'm beginning to suspect the UI/GPU having issues with screen update refresh that it just screws up the mouse. Nothing conclusive atm, though.
Had difficulty dragging items, resizing window and uncontrolled double-clicking (when your intention is a single-click) for both left AND right buttons.

Any dev can answer if EVE's pointer function is a hardware or software cursor?

I've had the same issue. Razor are well known for this.

Thankfully, a reasonably easy fix. Open it up and put a few drops of WD40 on the micro switches - enough for it to go inside them. This will fix it if it's not totally gone.

Google "double click wd40" and you'll find videos and loads of people saying it fixed it for them too.
