How to test mouse buttons

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Click each button inside the test box: left, right, middle (press the wheel) and the two side buttons, Back and Forward. The matching part of the mouse picture lights up and its counter goes up, so you can see at once which buttons register. If a button never lights up, it is not sending a signal, or it is remapped in your mouse software. The box blocks the right-click menu and the Back action, so testing is safe.

Click it slowly many times; intermittent failure points to a worn switch.
