Frequently asked questions
How do I check for the double-click defect?
Click the left button once at a normal pace, repeatedly. If the tester occasionally flags a double-click when you only pressed once, the button's switch is bouncing — a common wear failure that usually means the switch needs replacement.
Why does right-click not open the context menu here?
The tester intentionally suppresses the context menu inside the test area so the right button can be tested like any other. Right-click behaves normally everywhere else.
My side buttons don't register. Are they broken?
Not necessarily. Some mice map side buttons through vendor software to keyboard shortcuts rather than standard mouse buttons 4 and 5, in which case the browser never sees them as mouse buttons. Check your mouse software's button mapping.
Can I test a touchpad?
Yes — taps, physical clicks, and two-finger scrolling all generate the same events. Middle-click may require a three-finger tap depending on your touchpad settings.
About this tool
The mouse tester verifies all of your mouse's inputs: left, right, and middle buttons, extra side buttons (back/forward), scroll wheel direction, and pointer movement with live coordinates. It counts clicks per button and flags double-clicks, which makes it easy to diagnose the classic failing-switch symptom where a single click registers as two. Everything runs locally in the browser using standard pointer events.
Like everything on UtilityBase, the mouse tester runs entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded or stored on a server. It's free to use with no account required. Browse more device tests here.
