A small performant Windows tray application which suppresses false double clicks. (Double Click Fix)

Mouse Debouncer

A small performant Windows "tray application" which suppresses false double clicks under the assumption that: false double click = elapsed time between last mouseup and current mousedown event <= threshold

Usage

1. Download the latest release.
2. Preferably create a shortcut, batch script, task, etc to set command-line options and/or to put it into the autostart.
3. Test and customize the thresholds for the best possible experience.
4. Enjoy!

Command-Line Options

threshold : min delay between clicks in milliseconds to trigger a double click (def: 60 min: 1 max: 500)

Option	Parameter	Description
-t or --threshold	<threshold>	Sets the general double click threshold. (overridable by button specific options)
-l or --left	[threshold]	Enables monitoring and/or sets the threshold of the left mouse button.
-r or --right	[threshold]	Enables monitoring and/or sets the threshold of the right mouse button.
-m or --middle	[threshold]	Enables monitoring and/or sets the threshold of the middle mouse button.
-b or --four	[threshold]	Enables monitoring and/or sets the threshold of the 4th "back" mouse button.
-f or --five	[threshold]	Enables monitoring and/or sets the threshold of the 5th "forward" mouse button.
-q or --qpc		Enables high-resolution time stamps for interval measurements. (<1µs vs 15.6ms)

Examples:

MouseDebouncer32.exe -t100 --middle -r80 => middle button: 100ms; right button: 80ms

MouseDebouncer64.exe -q --four=75 => high-resolution time stamps; fourth button: 75ms

* If no button is specified, the left button will be automatically set.

mouse-debouncer's Issues

Error every time screen resolution changes

If the main monitor resolution changes, such as when launching a game in full screen, Mouse Debouncer opens an error window saying:

The notify icon couldn't be added.
Error code: 2147500037

More popups appear every time the screen resolution changes, leading to lots of annoyance. The main process doesn't seem to encounter any issues when this occurs - The Mouse Debouncer "icon" stays in the system tray, and it behaves exactly as expected. I imagine that for this particular error, it should probably just be ignored.

Won't build.

error MSB4019: The imported project "D:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found

Maybe set up a GHA Workflow to build releases as example and/or provide building instructions clearly in the readme.

No donation link

Not technically an issue.

This little tool saves me from doing annoying and delicate mouse surgery or straight up buying a new mouse. This is a real relief so I wanted to leave a small donation to thank marvinlehmann but couldnt find a way to do so.

Handle dragging

Handle dragging like when selecting text.

Debounce mouse wheel scrolling

I realize this project hasn't had any updates for awhile but would it be possible to add debounce detection of mouse wheel scrolling? Not mouse wheel clicking as that is already implemented. I have a Razer Naga Pro mouse that has begun to exhibit an occasional reverse scroll when scrolling down with its wheel.

Not an issue - this program is very good. Thanks!

No config / installation required, works!
