Right Mouse button Input not continuous when held down (Retail WoW)

I have recently had an issue crop up that has made playing retail World of Warcraft extremely difficult.

The problem is that when I hold my right mouse button down, the mouse input shutters and fails to register as a continuous signal. It happens intermittently in that not every right mouse button click does this. It is does happen in at least every 10 mouse clicks. It is hard for me to really pinpoint when this issue began because I was traveling from Jan-March and had to stop raiding. Now that I have more time I have been attempting to get back into things and have really noticed this issue. I will also say that the effects are way more noticeable when I play my melee characters as the issue leads to various problems such as, my character not running forward when both mouse buttons are depressed, random right click targeting of unintended targets, the inability to turn using the mouse and the camera failing to pan when I am attempting to view a different direction.

  • What I have tried so far to resolve the issue:
  • Disabling all addons
  • Disabling start programs such as twitch
  • Changing my polling rate to 125 Hz
  • Updating mouse Firmware
  • Using different mice. I have tested at Corsair Scimitar and Naga Trinity (both
    brand new), as well as a Dell OEM two button mouse.

Can you please provide me with any other information regarding how to fix this issue? I really want to get back into playing, but am having a hard time doing non-trivial content. Oh and I have recorded videos of the problem where you can clearly see the mouse cursor reappearing randomly on a click and drag test, as well as a complete failure to turn the camera. I would be happy to provide them and any other information you need.

Thank you for your support!

Was hoping someone would reply to this. This is 100% exactly my issue, but it is my left click. I think it is just from using the left click to loot so much in ZF farming. I since bound my interact keybind to “I” so I have a backup button for when I have to loot a lot.

I’ve had the same problem. it seems to be that the game has some sort of weird fake 3d mouse touch if that makes sense. I would lightly click my mouse and the stutter would happen but if I made sure to put some pressure it seems to not stutter, don’t know if that helps at all.
