Click & Hold Here - Click and hold to test switch stability
Why Test Hold & Drag?
Connection breaks during dragging are a common sign of micro-switch failure.
Gaming Stability
In FPS (ADS) or MOBA (Drag selection), a sudden release can be fatal. Ensure your switch holds the connection 100% of the time.
Productivity
Dragging files and having them drop in the wrong folder due to mouse glitches is frustrating and dangerous for data organization.
Diagnosis
Is it software or hardware? If this test shows breaks, it's likely a physical switch issue (oxidation or wear).
How It Works
Two simple tests to verify your mouse button connection stability.
Hold Test
Click and hold the left mouse button in the test area. The timer counts how long you can maintain the connection.
Watch for Breaks
If your mouse has a faulty switch, the timer will reset unexpectedly as the connection drops momentarily.
Drag Test
Try dragging the box around. If it drops while you're still holding, that's a clear sign of micro-switch failure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.What causes connection breaks during holding?
Usually it's oxidation or wear on the metal contacts inside the micro-switch. After thousands of clicks, the spring mechanism can also weaken.
Q.Can I fix a faulty switch myself?
If you know how to solder, you can replace the switch (Omron, Kailh, Huano are common). Otherwise, contact manufacturer warranty or a repair shop.
Q.Is this related to double-clicking issues?
Yes, often the same root cause. A worn switch can both double-click (bouncing contacts) and drop connection mid-hold (failing contacts).
Q.Why does my mouse only fail during dragging?
Dragging applies constant pressure in a specific direction. This can expose weak points in the switch mechanism that don't appear during normal clicking.
