Left Mouse Button Not Working Well While Playing Games
Im on a MSI Laptop MS-1563 and have an odd issue I can't for the life of me troubleshoot. My left mouse button to shoot has a will work and then stop a second later. I know it's not my mouse because the trackpad does the same thing and it works fine when I'm not in a game. For some reason rebinding it to another mouse button allows it to work. I've tried messing with the double-click and ClickLock settings with no luck as well as clearing the %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\AutomaticDestinations and checking the mouse drivers for updates.
Thanks in advance,
Sam

Since you mentioned the trackpad behaves similarly, try disabling it temporarily while you play. Sometimes touchpad interference can cause issues when using an external mouse. You can do this in the touchpad settings or by using a function key (often Fn + a designated key).

You need to check it is hardware or software issue. Please install the latest driver and connect the mouse to another computer to see if the left button works.
