Why run a mouse test

A mouse test gives you immediate confirmation that clicks, scrolling, and pointer movement are being detected before work, gaming, or support tasks. It helps you spot missed clicks, double‑click faults, or tracking problems without installing software.

How the test runs

The tool runs entirely in your browser and listens for mouse and pointer events. Clicks, scroll steps, and movement are visualized in real time, and the test ends when you leave the page.

How to interpret results

Each button press should register and highlight in the test area, and scrolling should show consistent steps. If movement looks jumpy or clicks fail to register, the issue may be the surface, battery, connection, or switch. Compare behavior across buttons and scroll directions to isolate the problem.

Missing highlights indicate a click was not detected by the browser.
Repeated highlights may point to unintended double‑clicks or a worn switch.
Erratic trails can signal sensor, surface, or power issues.

This test reports browser‑level input only and does not measure DPI, polling rate, or sensor performance in detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this mouse test used for?

This mouse test confirms that clicks, scroll, and cursor movement are being detected correctly. It helps you spot missed clicks, jumpy tracking, or scroll issues.

How does the mouse test work in the browser?

The test listens to mouse and pointer events and shows each action on screen. No installation is required.

Does the mouse test check left, right, and middle clicks?

Yes, it highlights left, right, and middle clicks as you press them. Use the test area to confirm each button responds.

Why is my mouse not tracking in the test?

Tracking issues can come from the surface, sensor dirt, low battery, or a loose connection. Try another surface, clean the sensor, or test a different USB port.

Can this mouse test detect double-click issues?

Rapid clicks appear immediately, so unintended double-clicks are easier to notice. If a button fires twice on a single press, the switch may be wearing out.

Does the mouse test work on Windows, macOS, and Linux?

Yes, it works in modern browsers on major desktop operating systems. Results can vary slightly by browser and pointer settings.

Which browsers support the mouse test?

Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari generally work well. If something does not register, try another browser.

Does the mouse test work with wireless mice or trackpads?

It works with wired and wireless mice and most trackpads for basic clicks and movement. Gesture-specific features may not appear the same as in native apps.

Can the mouse test measure DPI or polling rate?

No, browser tests cannot read DPI or polling rate directly. They only confirm that input is detected.

Is the mouse test safe and private?

The test runs locally in your browser and does not access files. It does not store or upload your input.

Why do mouse test results feel different from other tools?

Tools visualize motion differently and may sample at different rates. Browser settings and device drivers also affect how movement feels.

Can the mouse test fix or calibrate my mouse?

No, it only reports input events. Calibration and fixes must be done in your OS or device software.
