EasyMousefor MacFix a mouse that double-clicks on a single click on Mac
As a mouse ages, its button switch can wear and send one press as two presses a few milliseconds apart. Files open unexpectedly and drags drop halfway. macOS has no setting to filter this. EasyMouse click debouncing ignores the extra clicks that arrive within a short window you choose.
Set it up in EasyMouse.
Install EasyMouse, grant Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions, and select the problem mouse in the device list.
Run the troubleshooting check and click a few times. If bounced clicks are detected, it can prepare a click debounce draft for you.
Or turn on click debouncing in button settings and set the window in milliseconds yourself. Start short and raise it only if the problem remains.
Test by single-clicking files and dragging windows, then save. Your profile is not changed until you save.
Before you start.
A window that is too long can also block intentional fast double clicks. If the switch is badly worn, software filtering is a stopgap and the mouse may need repair or replacement.
- Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
- Runs on both Apple silicon and Intel-based Macs.
- One universal build supports both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
- Please allow EasyMouse under Accessibility and Input Monitoring in System Settings → Privacy & Security. Please check these permissions again if macOS asks after an update.
Frequently asked questions
Does it affect my other mice?
No. It is stored per device, so you can turn it on only for the mouse with the problem.
Will intentional double clicks still work?
With a short window, normal double clicks still work. If they get blocked, you can shorten the window.
Does it help with drags that drop?
Set the debounce mode to libinput. It briefly holds each release and ignores a re-press that arrives in that window, which helps with drags that drop.
