    change mouse to single click
    « on: January 07, 2010, 06:55:22 PM »
    is it possible to change a mouse to single click via a setting in windows, or is that a hardware thing?

        What about the things that used to require a single click?
        How do you do a half click?
        You know, you want to select something, but you don't want to make it go.
        How can you live with just one click?

        In single-click mode mouse hover selects an item.

          I use single click everyday, hate double clicking. Also have the mouse speed set near wide open so I only have to move the mouse about a half an inch to move diagonally across an 18" screen. Been doing it this way for 10 years or better
