Or a Bluetooth mouse in a travel bag - if that mouse is pressed down, you canвЂ™t ever get a left mouse up event from any other device. What a pain it was but who doesn't love a good mystery!Дo you by chance have a Magic Trackpad lying around? Unlike in OS X it automatically connected. Linux Mint Live USB Flash Drive worked because the Magic Trackpad was not paired to it and therefore couldn't and didn't interfere. This drove me crazy for a couple of hours because the book fell when I was not in the room, so I never heard it or suspected the Magic Trackpad to be an issue. Because it was connected, even though not in use, it was causing the other clickable devices to fail on the normal-click while the secondary-click still worked. Turns out my Magic Trackpad, which I was not using and was in the closet, was depressed by a book that fell over on to it. no normal-click would work, while the secondary-click was fine.

So at least I knew the built-in Trackpad, Magic Mouse and USB Mouse hardware was fine and it was looking like a software issue.ДЄs another trouble shooting process I made an OS X USB Flash Drive Installer, figuring it would boot clean and the built-in Trackpad or Magic Mouse would work fine since it worked under Linux, however during the install. I booted my MBP with a Linux Mint Live USB Flash Drive and the built-in Trackpad, Magic Mouse and USB Mouse all worked, both normal-click and secondary-click.

Normal (Left) mouse-click wouldn't work under any conditions while running OS X, the built-in Trackpad, Magic Mouse or USB Mouse, while the secondary-click was fine on all.

I had this very issue last week on my Early 2013 15' MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

Let's just say it's a story of unknown Bluetooth interference or a paired Bluetooth device thatвЂ™s in range of the Mac. I will be happy if this has a stupid easy answer. As fun as it is to toggle mouse keys on and off, IвЂ™d really like to get the clicking working. IвЂ™ve used the Accessibility Options Shortcut (Fn-вЊ-вЊҐ-F5) to turn on mouse keys, which IвЂ™ve been using for the past week.

Laying my Macbook Pro on its side and tapping underneath the trackpad area ( ).

Checking Battery Health ('Condition: NormalвЂќ according to System Report some people have had trouble with their battery bulging).

Apple Hardware Test (No results found, could not click вЂњPerform extended testingвЂќ).

Switching the Primary mouse button with the USB mechanical mouse connected (Secondary click on the left button worked, Primary click on the right button didnвЂ™t).

Using a USB mechanical mouse (right click worked, left click didnвЂ™t).

Toggling Bluetooth even though itвЂ™s normally off and I donвЂ™t own a bluetooth mouse ( Can't click with trackpad or mouse (OS X 10.9, MacBook Pro)) Normal (Left) mouse-click wouldnt work under any conditions while running OS X, the built-in Trackpad, Magic Mouse or USB Mouse, while the secondary-click was fine on all.

Toggling System Preferences Trackpad settings.

Feel/sound of trackpad click (no noticeable change in the feel of the trackpad).

I have a Macbook Pro (Retina, Late 2012) running OS X El Capitan (10.11.13).
