Isn’t a “click” just physically making two connectors touch so that a circuit is made to send the signal of an action? There doesn’t have to be any noise associated does there?
For example, if we used 2 springs, one to hold up the button and another to make the contact with the circuit, the click would be silent. Or maybe something already exists that I can swap out into my mouse?
I try to click on something and it doesn’t react.
Is this because I failed to execute the click (has happened, especially on laptop touchpads), or because the site is unresponsive/buggy?
As a person not too familiar with hardware or what goes into mouse creation, I have always taken the “click” sound as something that can only happen when I actually successfully execute the click. That I made those two connectors touch. (Of course, the OS might drop it and the software part does not work, but I do take it as I made all the physical things that need to happen to make a click happen.) So if I get to hear the “click” on a mouse I know for sure if I clicked or not, if it’s human error or not in the problem I posed. If I don’t I’m going to be clicking a lot more times to ensure I got a real click through, because I am not sure if I actually managed to click.
