The symptoms sound like the mechanical switches underneath the plastic
for button 1 are failing in an unpredictable way. This happens as mice
get old. While it is theoretically possible to replace the switches,
prices on wired USB mice are low enough that it is probably far more
effective in terms of time and hassle to buy a new wired USB mouse.
