Problem

I have a generic Logitech USB Optical Mouse (couldn't find a model number) and occasionally when I am doing a single click, it registers as a double click instead. For example, when I click a file once, it opens it rather than selects it. What could be the source of this problem?

Low Risk

That looks like damage in the button microswitch (I don't know the English term for that). Some people can disassemble the microswitch and fix it. Or it can be soldered from a different mouse.
