Slowing down single mouse click speed

[Delirium]

Is there a way or an application that will slow down single click mouse speed?

For example, I want to insert a delay between mouse clicks of about 0.25-0.5 second delay between clicks.

Thanks in advance!

sorry brain didnt read your post right.

Del isnt there an application right in windows to adjust mouse click speed? i dont know if its what your looking for but you may want to start there and see what you get from it.

The only thing available in Windows is to decrease double click speed.

I want to slow down the ability to single click by 0.25 seconds or so. To be blunt, this is for my job, I have people that would rather go as fast as they can and not read what they are putting in the system. I'm hoping this will help slow them down and force them to read the screen.

Shareware, whatever it takes to get it done.

Sorry Del, but even if you do manage to pause the input speed...you're going to have the elevator syndrome.

There might be a registry hack to accomplish what you want...

In the Windows Mouse Properties, there is a slider to adjust the double click speed but it doesn't allow for precise settings.  Depending on your mouse, there maybe a program that came with it that allows such precise settings.  My CM Storm Sentinel mouse programming software allows me to set my click speed like how you're trying to do.

Not aware of off-the-shelf commercial software, but writing something that hooks in and blocks some mouse presses wouldn't be that hard I don't think. You basically want to hook the mouse button events and only pass along ones that are a certain time apart. Are you trying to hook off-the-shelf software, or is it custom software that you could modify? Only one package, or lots?

Custom software would be the best but if a simple registry edit is available, I'd go for that too.


I don't think it would be cost effective to hire someone to write a program for me alone, I was hoping there was one that already existed.

You could always get a mouse that has software that allows you to do fine adjustments to the click speed.

Piggybacking on that, have you looked at Microsoft's Intellipoint software?  I don't know if it has what you want, but it may, and it's a free download.

The mouse control software and the mouse settings in the control panel do not perform the function that Delirium is wanting. The idea is to interrupt the system recognizing mouse button input so that within a specific time period, no matter how many times the user clicks the button the system won't recognize the input until the time runs out. That's fairly tricky, and I've done some scrounging around in some dark corners of the retardnet with no success in finding a way to do it. Seems no one has ever wanted to interrupt mouse input before.
