Back and Forward are reported only when the browser exposes buttons 3 and 4. A zero count does not prove that your mouse lacks them.

How to read the button test

Press each button inside the test surface. A row changes while the button is held and its count advances on press. The test uses the browser button numbers defined for primary, auxiliary, secondary, Back, and Forward input.

Why Back and Forward may not appear

Some browsers, operating systems, extensions, and mouse utilities reserve navigation buttons before a page receives them. The test reports Detected only after an actual button 3 or 4 event arrives; it never invents support from the device name.

Right-click behavior stays contained

The context menu is prevented only over the test surface so a right-button press can be counted. Right-clicking the navigation, article text, or any other part of the site keeps normal browser behavior.

Mouse button test FAQ

Which mouse buttons can this page test?

It monitors the standard browser button values for left, middle, right, Back, and Forward. Whether extra buttons reach the page depends on your browser, operating system, and device software.

Why is my side mouse button not detected?

The browser or operating system may reserve it for navigation or map it to another command. A zero count means no matching browser event reached this page; it does not prove the physical button is absent or faulty.

Does this page disable right-click everywhere?

No. The context menu is blocked only inside the marked test area. Right-click works normally elsewhere on the page.

Can this test confirm a broken mouse switch?

No. It can reveal event patterns and missed presses in the browser, but physical diagnosis requires comparison with other software, ports, computers, or hardware tools.
