Click Identifier is a Windows desktop tool that helps you work out whether a bad click is caused by a faulty on-screen button or by your physical mouse or touchpad. When it is active, every mouse click anywhere on your screen triggers a quick hot-pink flash and records the time, mouse button, X/Y position, and the exact pixel colour under your cursor in both HEX and RGB. You can also use it to grab on-screen colours instantly just by clicking them. Hotkeys: press S to toggle ON or OFF, and Esc to quit. If Windows shows a warning, choose More info → Run anyway only if you trust the file and downloaded it from Another Product Invented.

About Click Identifier

Click Identifier is a Windows desktop tool for tracking mouse clicks and capturing screen information. It records click time, mouse button, cursor position, and the colour under the cursor.

How to use Click Identifier

Open Click Identifier, toggle it on, then click anywhere you want to test. The tool records the click details and can help you compare what happened on screen with what your mouse or touchpad actually did.

Who it is for

For Windows users investigating missed or unexpected clicks, and interface designers who need cursor coordinates or an on-screen colour sample. The recorded details help you describe and reproduce a problem more precisely.

What you can use Click Identifier for

Click Identifier can be useful for diagnosing misclicks, testing buttons, checking interface behaviour, recording cursor positions, and grabbing on-screen colours in HEX or RGB.

Features

Record click time and mouse button.
Capture the cursor position as X/Y coordinates.
Read the pixel colour as HEX and RGB.
Visible hot-pink flash when a click is detected.
Press S to toggle recording and Esc to quit.

Tips for using Click Identifier

Repeat the same action over the same control and compare the recorded positions and buttons. For colour sampling, avoid a text edge or shadow unless that is the exact colour you want; neighbouring pixels can have different values.

Important limitations

A recorded click is evidence to help investigate a problem, not a conclusive diagnosis of faulty hardware or software. The visible click indicator includes a flash.
