A couple years ago, I hadn’t really invested in a proper setup and I used a regular office mouse to play games. But after it being used continuously, the mouse broke and unintentionally started registering double clicks.
This is not an example of double-clicking, this is a broken mouse. The difference between your office mouse and mice that double click is yours broke and started double-clicking, whereas mice that intentionally double click do this from the beginning. When I first received my model O I was able to start double-clicking the moment I unboxed it. It isn't a hardware malfunction that causes double-clicking - it is an intended feature that is advertised on most gaming mice.
Someone with a mouse that cannot double click has no chance against someone with a mouse that can do so
This is completely false because I don't double-click but do perfectly fine against those who do (whether it be in scrims or on streams or even on different networks such as Hive or Hypixel). Allowing people to double click will not change the PvP as much as some are making it seem. The only difference this will really have is being able to place blocks faster and get a small amount of extra CPS (keep in mind I am only arguing for double-clicking, NOT dragclicking, as this is a totally different topic).
you have to remember that double clicking is not an intended feature of a mouse rather a result of hardware abuse.
It is actually an intended feature. For example, the official website for the Bloody a70 (a popular gaming mouse used throughout the Minecraft community) deliberately advertises the a70 as having a "Click response less than 0.2 ms". This is also seen with the Roccat series mice. Once again marketing it on their website as having "a faster mechanical switch than any other with twice the durability".
If the companies didn't want to allow an "unintended feature that is a result of hardware abuse", they wouldn't market it as "abusable" if that makes any sense. We also see this when they let you change your debounce slider, if they didn't want you to change the filter's strictness, they wouldn't have implemented the slider.
Completely ridiculous to even suggest this.
Thanks.
