The middle click on my mouse is sort of broken. About 90% of the time, it sends the click twice. i just want to make it so there's like a 1/3 second delay between accepted clicks.

The answer is almost definitely yes. Depending on your OS or mouse, you may even already have the necessary software.

 

Because I've never had to do that, but have seen options for it with my own software in the past, that's about as much as I can give you, but it may help others with more knowledge on the subject if you provide your mouse/drivers and operating system.

Might be able to do it in the mouse control panel for Windoze, but I doubt it, that might only adjust left and right click acceptance speeds not middle.  If I were you'd I'd just buy a new mouse and be done with it, but if you have soldering experience and equipment I'd be simple to order 3 new switches from mouser or digikey for a few dollars and repair it easily.

 

You might also be able to get it to work using a macro program such as Autohotkey.  Heres a script someone built that should be pretty easy to copy and paste and obviously you'll need to change LButton to MButton.  Make sure you read the posts at the middle of page one where they discuss changing Send to SendInput, cause I'm pretty sure DirectX isn't going to play nice with just Sends.

https://autohotkey.c...clicking-mouse/ use the script on the 2nd post for starters.

I figured I'd have to do something with Autohotkey. Well the script I used seems to have completely eliminated the double clicking, although it seems like on very rare occasions a middle click can just be ignored entirely.

 

Thanks muchfords SS.

Thanks muchfords SS. 

 

Haha, thats funny.  Every time I'm out in my 4x4, I get someone that says, "hey, killer Bronco", I've gotten to the point where I just nod and say thanks and don't bother telling them its not even a Bronco.

 

You might try elevating the process priority of autohotkey in the task manager, (just don't set it to realtime) that might help it catch all the clicks and not skip one randomly.

I'd like something that makes me stop accidentally double-tapping ability.

I have a joystick button mapped to ability and it sometimes doubleclicks when I only want single.

Mostly for cloak on infi & pred. so I don't burn my ability for no benefit.

[HubbaBubba9849]

I don't know what the mapping would be for a controller, but if you found out, you could use the same script and just change it to that.

 

To be clear, this is the script I used.

Spoiler

MButton:: If ( A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 50 )
SendInput, {MButton Down}
return
Mbutton Up::SendInput, {MButton Up}

So you would just change "MButton" to whatever your controller button is.

The Joystick software just emulates a keyboard key press.

It converts axis bands to WASD so Hawken just thinks i'm using a keyboard.

 

Can autohotkey monitor any key on the keyboard and intercept?

[HubbaBubba9849]

Well yeah. If your controller is just essentially pressing F, then just change MButton to F and there you go.

Can autohotkey monitor any key on the keyboard and intercept?

 

You can create a new empty autohotkey script file and add the line "#InstallKeybdHook". After that double click the script and when it's running double click the green "H" tray icon. In the window that opened selcect "View->Key History and Script Info".

 

There you can find all button presses recognized by Autohotkey with their respective virtual key and scan code you can use for scripts.

Just press a button you need the vk or sc for and press F5. It should get displayed instantly.
