Guild Wars 2

StinVec.3621:

I’ve finally determined the cause of the issue.

I have a full writeup on what I’ve finally determined to be causing this problem, but I’ve not finished the photos and graphics explaining it yet.

I disassembled many optical, laser, wired and wireless mice to find a common defect within them. I disassembled several variations of the Razer Naga mice, a Razer Copperhead (my favorite mouse), several Logitech mice, a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer, and a few generic brand mice. I found the same exact issue to be present in all of these mice.

The quick and easy way of explaining it (with the Razer Naga as an example) is:

• The flat piece on the under side of the button that contacts the ‘click’ activation button becomes worn down due to being made of soft plastic and because the mouse buttons can move side to side slightly. (arrows on attached image)

• This leads to the button activating with gentle pressure applied to the center of the button until it clicks (red prohibited symbol on attached image), but adding a little bit more pressure causes the worn down soft plastic to slip off of the activation button slightly…leading to stuttering activation based on pressure and angle.

• Because of this, you will need to push against the outer right side of the mouse button (green target on attached image) to fully activate the button as pushing at an angle causes an area of plastic that is not worn down to contact the activation button.

I’ll update again when I finish the graphics, photos and writeup of the issue.

You are a smart one sir! After reading your post, i did a simple test which never cross my mind, i went into desktop than hold the right mouse button and tried dragging throughout the desktop, you are right, the button disconnects. And here me thinking it’s a problem with guild wars but in fact the problem is with the mouse. I too own a Razer Naga. I’ve just ordered myself a new Logitech G602 mouse, should be in on Monday. Thanks for point this out to me. The right mouse buttons works fine if pressed once, but when u hold the button down then it deactivates from time to time.
