Re: My copperhead Razer mouse has started double clicking...
Hi, This double-clicking can be due to a worn out micro-switch in your mouse. If you are well -verse with repairing such gadgets, you can go ahead and replace this switch yourself or refer it to a qualified technician

There could be a possibility that the left button itself have gone bad. Try connecting the mouse into another computer to see if you'll get the same problem.
Just had the same problem with my copperhead... firstly go to url below to show you how to open up the copperhead (only do this if it's out of warranty!! which is two years if you have your purchase recipt) http://razerblueprints.net/index.php/Copperhead/copperhead-disassembly-guide.html . Once you have got the top off look at the front where the wheel attaches you can pull the wheel out of the circular thing on the left then find some thin paper I used some laser receipt paper (probably gonna wear out but will find something better in meantime) cover the hole with a very small square of whatever thin material you have chosen then push the axle of the wheel back in... this tightens the hole back up allowing the clicking feel to come back and the scroll wheel to work again. Ultimately the problem is wear and tear with the hole for the axle or the shape of the axle end wearing down.
Actually, first you should try taking the mouse open and cleaning the sensor clicker thing or whole mouses insides, I had similar problem before, that fixed it for me.
Other option which I haven't tried and am not sure if works, you could try to move one of the side buttons that you don't use sensor to the place of the left mouse button. This I HIGHLY advice against tho since this might break down the mouse totally.
Then again if it comes down to not properly working mouse and you have to get new one versus broken mouse and you have to get new one, you have nothing to lose.
I came across this post while having the same double-click issue with my copperhead. I've found that the cause is the plastic contact under the left click button itself. It wears out and takes on the shape of the microswitch underneath. To fix it all you have to do is follow the instruction for taking the mouse apart posted above and lightly filing the plastic contact flat again. You only want to take the notch out of it.
FIXED, I managed to fix my copperhead last night after its been sat
under my desk for the past 4 months with doubleclick problem. I peeled
off the lower slider foot, removed the QC sticker off the screw,
removed the screw and took the top off the mouse. inside, under the
faulty button (left mouse button for me) there is a little black box
with a small thin white button on top. i very carefully lifted the
black box slightly off its connection with a small flathead screwdriver
then pushed it back down again. i did this with the mouse plugged in to
usb blue lights on and everything. it stopped double clicking
instantly, hope this works for anyone else. let me know.
Hmm...I managed to solve the problem of mouse "breaking" while playing counter strike..Its a lil technical...
1. Right Click My Computer -> Properties 2. Choose 'Hardware' tab and then 'Device Manager' 3. You should see a Yellow exclamation mark on 'Razer Copperhead USB mouse' under 'Human Interface devices' 4. Right click -> properties ------------------------------------------------------------- I do not exactly remember the wordings of the prompts that appear after this..
5. Click on something which says "install / update driver" 6. Choose the 1st option which has something missing in one of the columns.. 7. Unzip downloaded driver files on your desktop 8. Choose logical options from here... 9. At some point it will ask for "Razerlow.sys" file... 10. Click browse and go to C:\Windows\system32\drivers....you will find it there... 11. Choose logical options from here and your "breaking" problem will be solved... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This does not solve the "No mouse detected" message in configurator...but atleast you can play your favorite game :-)
HEY EVERYONE I FIXED THE DOUBLECLICK PROBLEM, can't belive i can use
this mouse again, i peel off the bottom sticker foot. removed the QC
sticker from the screw and removed screw, got top off, under the left
click button there is a little black box with a thin white button, i
carefully with a small flat head screwdriver lifted the black box
slighty off its connection then pushed it back down again. i did this
with the mouse plugged in blue lights on and everything. it instanly
worked fine. hope this works for anyone else
I have something like you've all described with mine occasionally, normally, turning the mouse over and rubbing the laser surround with my finger vigorously is enough to clean off the crud that seems to be causing the problem..
I've never had any software problems or anything with mine..
