Hello,
Recently, the scroll wheel click on my mouse has stopped working (the one that allows you to open a link directly in a new tab, for example). This happened suddenly without any prior "warning" and it's the first time this has happened. I've had my mouse (Cyborg RAT 7) for 2 years and it has never given me any trouble. I will try another mouse as soon as possible. I hope you can help me solve this problem.

Thank you in advance.

I found the solution: I opened and cleaned my mouse --> it works perfectly (so it's not a driver issue or anything)

Also check in Control Panel > Mouse > "Buttons" tab, then select "Middle Click" for the scroll wheel button.

Open and physically clean your mouse??

Yes, physically to remove dirt from the pimples. No danger to the mouse if done with a bit of care.

Same here, I was going with a story about drivers, Windows 10 compatibility and all that. So I took your advice, and 15 seconds later everything was back to normal... Sometimes you just shouldn't look too far. :)
