Troubles with continuous shot on left click

On OW2 beta on PC, with any character able to shoot continuously, when I stay clicked on, the weapon just stops and starts shooting randomly. Is it so annoying and makes me lose majority of fights.

It does not come from my mouse, I have tried 3 different mouses, the issue stays the same. I have also tried different USB ports.

Here is a video of a guy having the same issue, but mine is even more pronounced : overwatch left mouse continuous click interrupts for no reason(no hardware issue) - YouTube

Any idea, what is causing this ? Thanks

Note : it also happened to me at very rare moments on OW1, but it was was maybe 1 game on 20. On OW2, it is every game, everytime.

My config :
i5 9600K
16gb RAM DDR4
RTX2070

I’ve had this issue in OW1 in the past. Never had it once I switched to a razor mouse with optical mouse switch.
But then you gotta wonder why most people don’t have the issue with gaming mice.
It’s weird cause it only happened with Overwatch and sometimes went away with updates in the original game, or if I got a new mouse, but then would happen again.
Usually with support I just got deflections saying it’s my issue, and mechanical switches could be the cause. Best of luck.

I’d be curious if this behavior is repeatable in other games.

I’m still getting this bug

This just started happening to me today. It only happens in OW, I have even taken apart the mouse and verified the switches.

It also only seems to occur when there are enemies present because I cant get it to happen in a practice.

EDIT: I also tried rebinding primary fire to right click, this issue still exists.

This has been a rare occurrence for me in the past but I’ve had it a few times recently. Hope it can be looked into because it is confusing and frustrating when it happens. Considering trying a different mouse brand but not sure if it would help. Using a Logitech G903.
