The mouse buttons have been double clicking for a while and the wheel started to becoming sticky.

I finally took it apart and cleaned it as best as I could. It was mostly dust and some cat hair that wrapped itself around the wheel.

I couldn’t really get to the click mechanism but I got in between the button and the plastic. Not sure yet if it helped.

    How long have you had your mouse?

    Oh, long time. Like, probably close to a decade. And it’s about the cheapest mouse I could find. The mouse wheel first broke probably within 6 months after I got it.

    So if anything, the problem is probably just that it’s a super-cheap mouse.
