Middle mouse button?

[Alex]

Hello,

is there a way or utility to assign the middle wheel/button to function as a
left button single-click, since the left button has sadly passed away?....

Thank you

Consider investing a few dollars in a new mouse.

I'd vote for replacing the mouse, but you could also turn on Mousekeys
and use the numeric keyboard instead of the mouse. You could also switch
to a left-handed mouse so that the right mouse button represents a
click. That sort of begs the question, though, as to whether you want to
lose the right-click capability of the mouse.

You can buy a "cheap" mouse for $10 to $30.

Thanks for the replies,

I'll probably buy a new mouse, but it's really surprising that the mouse
buttons cannot be freely assigned without
restrictions. (double-click only etc.)

I wish that the scroll wheel could be set to rotate the tires on my Jeep
every 6 months because I never use it to scroll.. c'est la guerre..

Depending on the mouse software you have, you could be able to go into
Control Panel and configure each button to do various things - possibly
change the middle button to be a left click.

Not possible, just "switch primary and secondary buttons" and "assign
button/wheel as double-click".

Depends on what sort of mouse and drivers. Look in Control Panel -
Mouse and if there is a Setup button see what it has to offer. Logitech
drivers certainly support using the wheel for just about anything (inc
'Click/Select', the usual left button function)
