Grey means the button registered at least once; rose means it is held down right now. Some mouse drivers remap the side buttons, so back/forward may not reach the browser.

How to test

Three checks for a healthy mouse. Takes under a minute.

  • Buttons

    Press each button once inside the test area. Each one should add exactly one to its counter. If a single press adds two, the switch is bouncing.

  • Scroll wheel

    Roll the wheel slowly one notch at a time. Scrolling down should never add to the up counter. Jumps in the wrong direction point to a dirty or worn encoder.

  • Double-click

    Single-click slowly ten times. If the double-click counter goes up, your mouse is sending accidental double-clicks, a common fault on worn switches.

Troubleshooting

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I test my mouse buttons?

Move your pointer into the click test area and press each button. The counters show left, middle, right, back and forward presses. A button that is held down is highlighted, and buttons that have registered at least once turn grey.

How can I tell if my mouse double-clicks by itself?

Click slowly and deliberately in the test area. Every slow single click should only raise the left counter. If the double-click counter rises too, the switch is sending two clicks for one press.

Why are my back and forward buttons not detected?

Some mouse software remaps the side buttons to keyboard shortcuts or other actions, so the browser never sees them as mouse buttons. Reset them to their default back/forward function in the vendor app and test again.

Does right-click open a menu on this page?

Not inside the test area. The context menu and middle-click autoscroll are disabled there, and back/forward navigation is blocked where the browser allows it, so every press can be counted. Outside the area your browser works as usual.

Is anything sent to a server?

No. The test runs entirely in your browser and nothing about your clicks is stored or uploaded.
