Upgraded to Tahoe and getting extra mouse clicks

Since upgrading to Tahoe, I notice it seems i'm getting extra mouse clicks. E.g., words selecting suddenly, or checkboxes gettign checked / unchecked quickly on a single mouse click.


Its hard to characterize but something changed. I use an external mouse & keyboard. Prior to updating, I didnt notice any behavior like this.


Anyone else seeing similar?

I’ve actually noticed this too, same symptoms.
so apple changed something with how it handles external, non-Apple mice.

Have you uninstalled the third-party mouse software to check if the HID-standards compliant mouse functions as expected. A standards compliant mouse without any additional software should be able to click, secondary click, and scroll. Any other buttons/functions would not be supported. If it works correctly without the software installed, the problem is with the third-party system modification that provides the extra features the mouse may have.

My HID-compliant "non-Apple" mouse does not show any of the issues you describe.
