Should I buy a switch repair kit for mouse double-clicking?
Answer when a mouse switch repair kit is smarter than debounce software, warranty, or buying a new mouse for double-clicking.
Short answer
Only after confirming switch bounce. A repair kit makes sense if one button double-clicks, the mouse is valuable, and soldering or repair service is realistic. Otherwise replacement is simpler.
Confirm first
Confirm slow single clicks become duplicate events.
Check whether only one button is failing.
Choose repair only when the rest of the mouse is healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need soldering for mouse switch repair? +
Usually yes for traditional mouse switches. If you are not comfortable opening and soldering the mouse, warranty, repair service, or replacement is safer.
Should I use debounce software instead? +
Debounce software can hide mild bounce, but it does not repair the contact. If the same button keeps duplicating slow clicks, hardware repair is the durable path.
