Mouse Tests

Mouse double-clicking or reporting the wrong DPI? Check the buttons for chatter, scroll wheel, polling rate, and click speed in the browser. No install.

Every mouse fault shows up somewhere different. A worn switch fires two clicks from one press. A scratchy scroll wheel skips a notch. A drifting sensor reports a DPI you never set. Each tool here isolates one of those, so you fix the part that's actually failing instead of guessing at the whole mouse.

A fault usually traces to one of three layers. The switch hardware, a driver or key binding, or the browser itself. The test points you to the right one, which matters because the wrong guess wastes effort, like cleaning a switch when a game binding was the real problem.

The browser only reads what it's allowed to read. Your polling rate and DPI come back as close estimates, not the numbers on the box, because the page watches movement instead of querying the firmware. They're still close enough to catch a mouse stuck at 125 Hz when it should hit 1000, or a sensor running about 10% off. And when your aim falls apart after switching games, the cause is almost always sensitivity, not the mouse. Match your cm/360 in the sensitivity converter before you order new hardware.

FAQ

How do I test my mouse in the browser?
Open any tool on this page and start clicking. Press each button, spin the scroll wheel, and the result updates as you go, with nothing to install. The mouse test covers buttons and scroll; the double click, CPS, polling rate, and DPI tools each handle one job. Open the mouse test
How do I know if my mouse is double-clicking?
Single-click the button slowly, once. If the counter jumps by two, the switch contacts are worn and the mouse is adding a click you never made. Repeat ten to fifteen times, since a failing switch misfires at random. Run the double click test
A button doesn't light up in the test. Is the mouse dead?
Not always. If no site detects the press, suspect the switch, the cable, or the USB port. If the button works here but does nothing in a game, it's a binding or a driver, not the hardware. If only the side buttons stay dark, your browser is probably too old to report them.
Can I check my polling rate and DPI in the browser?
Yes, as a close estimate. The page measures how often your mouse reports and how far the cursor travels rather than reading the firmware, so the result lands near the real number without matching it exactly. That's enough to flag a mouse stuck at 125 Hz or a sensor that drifts. Test your polling rate
Does this work with a wireless mouse?
Yes, wired or wireless. If a wireless mouse registers nothing, check the dongle and swap the USB port. If it still reads nothing after a fresh battery, the buttons or receiver are likely gone.
My mouse fails the test. What should I do next?
It depends on what failed. For a double-clicking switch, raise the debounce time in your mouse software first, then clean or replace the Omron or Kailh switch if it keeps misfiring. A button with no response at all is usually mechanical. If the mouse is under warranty, record the test misfiring and claim it. How to fix a double-clicking mouse
