deutschmy mouse is striking - what can I learn from this?
My mouse is at the moment not behaving well (may be it is already too old):
for example: I can not select a text with several words anymore
(e.g. normal behaviour would be:
1. press on the left mouse button + keep it pressed
2. move the mouse cursor to the end of what you want to mark
3. release now the left mouse button
now the text is marked)
but: selecting a single word works with double click
sometimes also one left click makes 2 left clicks at once - let’s see what other failures I will encounter.
At first this was very unpleasant, because it costs more time: now I am forced to do the same actions with other methods: e.g. copy+paste by cursor.
These things interrupt me in my normal behaviour. They pull me out of my thoughts and I must think how to solve this to complete my goal.
It is interesting how much the mouse as input device influences our life.
Didn’t think much about it - but now I am also eager not to buy that fast a mouse (of course I will buy a new mouse eventually, if all begging to my mouse won’t help), so I can learn more from this.
Imagine: if during testing your mouse gets disabled somehow, would you still be able to continue testing (when seeing testing now in the context of executing tests on the test object) as effective or efficient as you want? See it as a test for you, when something interrupts you a lot during testing, are you able to master this?
I also want to learn how I can use other input devices even more (e.g. keyboard with the appropriate short cuts; observing, if a program offers me other possibilities to do what I want to do,…)
Also: I want to try to heal my mouse by mental thoughts 
(I also had a look inside it and cleaned my mouse, but this did not help) - I am not giving up hope now, my mouse served me well in the past, so why not wait a little longer, before I put it in the trash can? Wonders may happen. Imagine which other objects/persons in your life are touched so often as your mouse by your hand, would you also treat them like this, when they do not “serve” you no more?

good thread …
[Erkan tells:
Thank you for the comment Malli.
Please see the following only as positive way to help me understand you better, ok?
Can you specify more what is good and why it is good?
Otherwise this will not help other people (e.g. me).
You have experienced something similar? Or you did not yet see this special aspect of your mouse/life?
Again: do not take this as I want to be rude, just help me understand more.]

hi Erkan i studied the above document 4 times …first time i am not understand i am keep on studying studying at the end i got some idea what you said is correct …
first example:1
1. press on the left mouse button + keep it pressed
2. move the mouse cursor to the end of what you want to mark
3. release now the left mouse button
now the text is marked)
but: selecting a single word works with double click
the above example is correct ..
assume example 2:
1. press on the left mouse button + keep it pressed
2. move the mouse cursor to the end of what you want to mark
3. release now the left mouse button
now the text is marked)
what you have said “sometimes also one left click makes 2 left clicks at once - let’s see what other failures I will encounter”.
as per my knowledge
the above example is not correct i hope ..i am practically done the above example its not working some times also ..
example 3:if during testing your mouse gets disabled somehow, would you still be able to continue testing (when seeing testing now in the context of executing tests on the test object) as effective or efficient as you want? See it as a test for you, when something interrupts you a lot during testing, are you able to master this?
“the above example is good..as i am assuming with out mouse In the world 90% people cant do effective or efficient” testing or any thing for example browsing in internet as they want ….
Any mistakes in the above lines please correct me ..

Hello Malli,
4 times is quite a lot - thank you very much for taking the time to analyze my writing
and helping me get better with your comment. I hope I could also bring you with this to new ideas, though my intention was to write down what I felt at that moment and still feel.
Actually I have just described some scenarios what my mouse did at that time when giving it inputs by my hands.
So, if this scenario does not work with your mouse, this could be because your mouse is working fine.
Please reply, if I did not understand your point.
>“the above example is good..as i am assuming with out mouse In the world 90% people cant do effective or efficient” testing or any thing for example browsing in internet as they want ….
Well I hope you + I are now learning from this and increasing our skills in this area.]
