Set mouse debounce time

Question

When I right click my mouse "receives" the command 2-6 times. Example: on Terminal, when I right click (to Paste something), it will immediately open (at least) another Terminal (because the mouse is in the same position as the Open Terminal option).
I could fix this on Windows by having an AutoHotkey script which set a delay of about 50ms between clicks.

I've tried checking Mouse and Accessbility options but the few options available only work for left click. In another forum someone suggested me to check evdev but its manual did not help me alot; searching for it, I found about xkbset, which I think can do the trick, but again, its manual is not meant for beginners.

It is indeed a cheap USB mouse with faulty hardware, but one should be able to fix this particular problem, as someone with accessbility problems could need this

Thanks,

Solution

Ahhhh this is interesting. I am strictly hardware and not into Ubuntu (except for however it may intersect with KiCad.) I use an old Logitech trackball. My main (select) click is a right click. It recently began double clicking when only a single was intended. Adjusting double click speed in Windows 10 did not help. About a week ago I built a simple debounce circuit and connected it inside my trackball. Seems to fix the problem.
