Counts a second press of the same button within 80 ms. That is faster than a deliberate double-click and usually points to a worn switch.
Real-time Status

How to test

What the result means
An indicator confirms that this page received an event. It does not measure switch life or hardware latency. The browser can reserve extra buttons for navigation.
What to do next
If the middle button registers here but does not open a link in a new tab, try an actual link and check browser extensions and button assignments. Compare another browser before assuming a hardware fault.
Common problems and fixes
One click registers as two
That is switch chatter, the most common fault in worn mice. Confirm it with slow single clicks in the double-click check above. Compressed air around the button sometimes helps for a while; the lasting fixes are a warranty claim or a replacement switch. Also make sure your mouse software has no double-click macro on that button.
Side buttons work here but not in a game or app
The hardware is fine if they light up here. Check the button assignment in your mouse software and the key bindings in that app. Some programs, especially on macOS, ignore back and forward buttons unless a utility maps them.
Middle click registers but does not open links in a new tab
Middle-clicking opens a new tab only on an actual link. Try one on a normal page, then disable browser extensions and check whether your mouse software has reassigned the middle button.
Nothing registers at all
Try another USB port, or fresh batteries with the wireless receiver close to the mouse. If the pointer moves but clicks never register on any computer, the switch itself has failed.
