Thats in the mouse, caused by the switch not being solidly against the 
pcb its mounted to by solder so it flexes, eventually breaking the 
copper foil of the trace, so it issues a click as you push the button, 
but breaks contac as your fingeer pushes ion down, the makes the second 
contact as the switch comes back then the switch opens, creating two 
clicks for the motion of one. Sometimes you can lay a piece of wrapping 
wire around the switches pin, and extend it across the micro-crack after 
scraping off the green masking paint and rigging some sort of a clamp to 
hold the switch against the pcb solidly so it doesn't re-break your fix. 
  Its a fiddly PITA. 30+ years ago I had to keep a pile of Amiga mice 
working at the tv station where I was the CE.  The Amiga mouses motion 
encoders were unique as they were miniature quadrature encoders, much 
smoother and far more instant and accurate than any "pc" mouse even 
today, if you ever used one you will remember how easy it was to do 
precise work, and no one but Amiga (commode door) ever made replacements 
as it took an ultra fine 9 wire cable to talk to it.  We stretched what 
we had well past their geriatric years fixing them as best I could. 
Today the spastic junk we can get at Wallies isn't made to be fixed, 
just toss it and get another $9 model.  Problem solved, for a while.

I think it depends on whether you are using Wayland or X11, and
whether libinput is being used. Some things, like disabling the
trackpad when a mouse is plugged in, requires a X11+libinput and a
custom libinput rule. It cannot be done on Wayland because Wayland
lacks the equivalent setting.

Double click speed is pretty common. I am surprised to see it is not
part of the Mouse Control Setting, but it is what it is... To change
it with X11+libinput, see
<https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/s3rxt7/any_way_to_adjust_the_doubletripleclick_delay/>.
I would be surprised to learn Wayland does not have an equivalent
setting.

You

I was following this bug but it didn't help me, probably because the system sees it as two single clicks that happen quickly one after another, not a double click.
