In plain English

Fix your mouse is a simple web tool that helps you figure out if your computer mouse is registering double clicks when you only press the button once. It is a common hardware issue where a single click gets interpreted as two rapid clicks, which can be frustrating when you are trying to select text, navigate files, or interact with websites. Instead of guessing whether the problem is your mouse or something else, you can use this tool to test it directly. You visit the website and click using your mouse. The tool monitors each click and reports back whether it is detecting an unexpected double click. This gives you a quick and clear way to confirm if your mouse hardware is failing, rather than wondering if a specific application is acting up. The interface is straightforward and focused on answering one question: is my mouse double clicking when it should not be. This is useful for anyone who suspects their mouse might be malfunctioning. For example, if you are a gamer noticing unexplained double clicks during gameplay, or an office worker finding that single clicks keep opening files twice, this tool helps confirm the issue in seconds. It saves you from blaming your software or operating system when the real culprit is a degrading mouse switch. The project is built using TypeScript and appears to use a standard web development setup. The README does not go into detail about how the detection works under the hood, so it is unclear if there are customizable settings, sensitivity thresholds, or additional diagnostic features beyond basic click monitoring. It is essentially a lightweight utility designed to do one specific thing and do it without unnecessary complexity.
