Yes, my mouse also sometimes double clicks when I don't want it to, or doesn't single click at all... But this is nothing weird at all if you consider that the microswitches on a mouse have a specific lifetime also. And dirt and other stuff don't help with that either... A good clean could help (provided I can access those microswitches, but I can't, grrrr...)

Anyways, if your mouse behaves like that, inregular clicking on its own, etc, and if it is a new mouse, you'd better take it to the shop again and demand a new one...

If you live in Europe and bought the mouse in Europe, you always have 2 years of garantuee on all purchased items (no matter what the shop keeper might say).

If it is an old mouse then try to clean it out (there are spray cans available for electronical components which you could use for that)...
