League of Legends Click Not Working: Right Click, Shop, F9, and Input Fix
Fix League of Legends mouse click problems by separating right-click movement, shop clicks, UI focus, F9 cursor lock, stuck modifier keys, hotkey conflicts, overlays, polling rate, and USB device issues.
Last updated: July 16, 2026
When League of Legends click is not working, do not assume the mouse is broken immediately. First identify whether only right-click movement fails, only the shop or UI cannot be clicked, QWER hotkeys also stop working, or every app outside League has the same mouse problem.
If the mouse works on the desktop and in other games, the cause is often focus loss, chat or shop UI focus, stuck Alt/Ctrl/Shift state, keybind corruption, overlays, mouse polling-rate load, or USB receiver problems. Use the checklist below before resetting the whole game or reinstalling League.
Fastest safe fix order
Press Esc → click the game field once → Alt+Tab out and back → press and release Alt, Ctrl, and Shift → test right click, left click, shop click, and QWER separately → check F9 only for cursor leaving the screen → reset hotkeys when needed → close overlays and macro tools → compare mouse polling rate and USB ports → use clean boot and Riot repair only after the quick checks fail.
Check outside League first
If clicking also fails on the desktop, in a browser, or in another game, troubleshoot the mouse, USB port, wireless receiver, battery, driver, or switch instead of League settings.

Identify the Exact Input Symptom
League input issues can look similar, but right-click movement, left-click UI input, shop clicks, QWER hotkeys, and cursor visibility have different causes. Match your symptom before changing settings.
| Symptom | Check first | Likely cause |
|---|---|---|
| Right-click movement does not work | Chat box, game focus, movement keybinds | Focus loss, keybind conflict, or stuck modifier key |
| Left click or UI click does not work | Shop, minimap, scoreboard, overlay layers | UI focus, overlay conflict, or mouse input issue |
| Shop items cannot be clicked | Close and reopen shop, Alt+Enter, overlays | Shop focus, display mode, or overlay interference |
| QWER or summoner spell keys also fail | Alt, Ctrl, Shift, Enter, hotkeys | Stuck modifier key or corrupted keybinds |
| Mouse cursor leaves the game window | Dual monitor behavior and F9 state | Cursor lock or screen-edge setting |
| Clicking causes stutter or missed commands | Overlays, mouse software, polling rate | Input processing load or external hook |
| Clicking fails outside League too | Mouse, USB port, wireless receiver, battery | Hardware or driver issue |
Fix Right-Click Movement Not Working
If the cursor moves but your champion does not respond to right-click movement, first restore game focus and then check movement-related keybinds.
- Press Esc to close chat, shop, scoreboard, and settings panels.
- Left-click once on the open game field.
- Try right-click movement again.
- Alt+Tab to another window, then return to League.
- Press and release left Alt, right Alt, Ctrl, and Shift.
- Open Practice Tool and test right-click movement away from combat.
- Open Hotkeys and check movement, player attack move, attack move click, and target champions only.
- Reset hotkeys only when multiple bindings are wrong or do not save.
Separate movement from attack-move
If right-click movement works but A-click, attack move, or champion-only targeting does not, treat it as a hotkey or targeting setting problem rather than a mouse problem.
2. Fix Left-Click or Missed Clicks
Left-click issues usually appear in the shop, minimap, scoreboard, settings menu, or overlay-covered UI areas. Check whether the click fails everywhere or only on one interface.
| Left-click symptom | Check first | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Only shop clicks fail | Close and reopen shop | Try Alt+Enter and close overlays |
| Menu, minimap, and scoreboard also fail | Game-window focus | Alt+Tab back and click the field |
| Clicks feel delayed | Overlays and polling rate | Close OSD tools and test 1000 Hz or 500 Hz |
| Clicks fail outside League | Mouse or USB device | Change port, receiver position, or mouse |
3. Use F9 Only for Cursor Lock Problems
F9 is not a universal click fix. Use it when your cursor leaves the League window, especially on a dual-monitor setup or after Alt+Tab. If only right-click movement fails on a single monitor, check focus and keybinds first.
- Click inside the League game field.
- Press F9 once and observe the border or cursor behavior.
- If the cursor behavior becomes worse, press F9 again to return to the previous state.
- Alt+Tab out and back into League.
- Test right-click movement, shop click, and minimap click separately.
- Use Fullscreen or Borderless comparison only after checking F9.
F9 is most relevant for dual monitors
If the cursor escapes to the second monitor, F9 and display mode comparison are useful. If the cursor stays inside League but commands fail, the cause is more likely focus, keybinds, overlays, or input software.
4. Fix Shop Click Not Working
If champion movement works but shop items, tabs, or purchase buttons cannot be clicked, focus on the shop UI, display mode, and overlays.
- Press Esc to close the shop.
- Click the game field once.
- Open the shop again.
- Press and release Alt, Ctrl, and Shift.
- Press Alt+Enter to compare Fullscreen and Windowed/Borderless mode.
- Close Discord Overlay, NVIDIA/AMD overlay, Xbox Game Bar, recording tools, and stat overlays.
- Lower UI scale temporarily if the problem began after changing resolution or UI size.
- If all menus fail, reconnect or restart League after testing in Practice Tool.
Do not delete settings just because the shop is stuck once
Shop focus and overlay conflicts can be temporary. Reset settings only when the same UI input problem repeats after restart and Practice Tool testing.
5. Release Stuck Alt, Ctrl, and Shift Input
If left-click turns into ping behavior, QWER casts wrong actions, or normal clicks behave like a shortcut, a modifier key may be stuck virtually or physically.
- Press and release left Alt and right Alt.
- Press and release left Ctrl and right Ctrl.
- Press and release Shift.
- Press Enter to close chat if it is active.
- Press Esc to close open panels.
- Test QWER, right click, left click, and shop input again.
Chat focus can look like hotkey failure
If typing works but abilities do not cast, your input may still be going into chat or another UI panel. Close chat and click the game field before resetting keybinds.
6. Reset Hotkeys and Keybind Conflicts
Riot’s keyboard and mouse troubleshooting guidance includes resetting in-game configuration when input settings are corrupted. Riot’s hotkey documentation also explains that League keybinds can be changed in both the in-game settings and client-side settings.
- Enter Practice Tool.
- Press Esc.
- Open Hotkeys.
- Check Q, W, E, R, summoner spells, item keys, player attack move, player attack move click, and target champions only.
- Remove duplicate bindings that share the same key unexpectedly.
- Restore defaults only after saving a screenshot of your current layout.
- Test movement, ability casts, shop clicks, and camera controls before leaving Practice Tool.
Reset config only when symptoms match
If every hotkey is wrong, settings do not save, or keybinds keep changing, reset configuration. If only the shop glitched once, start with UI focus and overlays.
7. Fix Missing Cursor
If the cursor disappears or becomes hard to track only while typing or inside League, check Windows pointer options before reinstalling the game.
- Open Windows mouse settings.
- Open Additional mouse settings.
- Go to Pointer Options.
- Turn off pointer trails.
- Turn off Hide pointer while typing.
- Apply the change.
- Restart League and test in Practice Tool.
8. Close Overlays and Compare Mouse Polling Rate
If clicks register late, UI clicks are blocked, or FPS drops when moving the mouse, check overlay hooks and mouse software. This is especially relevant when the symptom begins after installing a recording, stat, or mouse utility.
| Program type | Why it can matter | Test |
|---|---|---|
| Discord Overlay | Adds an input layer over the game | Turn game overlay off |
| NVIDIA, AMD, Xbox recording | Can hook capture and input events | Disable instant replay, capture, and overlay |
| MSI Afterburner and RTSS | On-screen display can interact with rendering/input | Turn OSD off for testing |
| Stat tracker overlays | May block shop, scoreboard, or UI clicks | Close overlay mode in game |
| Mouse macro or RGB software | May remap buttons or add polling overhead | Test a default profile |
Mouse polling-rate test
- If the mouse is set to 8,000 Hz or 4,000 Hz, compare 1,000 Hz.
- If the issue remains, compare 1,000 Hz and 500 Hz.
- Use the same Practice Tool camera movement and click test each time.
- Restore the original polling rate when there is no clear improvement.
Use polling-rate tests only when input causes the symptom
The League teamfight FPS guide covers mouse polling-rate comparison when FPS drops during rapid mouse movement or teamfight input.
9. Check USB, Wireless, and Mouse Drivers
When clicking is unreliable outside League too, or when the problem appears after a new mouse or wireless receiver, check hardware before League configuration.
- Disconnect and reconnect the mouse.
- Use a direct motherboard USB port instead of an unpowered hub.
- Move a wireless receiver closer to the mouse.
- Charge or replace the battery for wireless mice.
- Test another USB port.
- Test another mouse if available.
- Install the official driver or configuration app from the mouse manufacturer.
- Restart Windows and test League in Practice Tool.
10. Use Clean Boot and Riot Repair
Use clean boot and repair only after checking focus, keybinds, overlays, display mode, and device connection. Clean boot is for finding software conflicts, not for permanent use.
- Take screenshots of current startup apps and services.
- Press Windows + R, type msconfig, and open System Configuration.
- Open the Services tab.
- Select Hide all Microsoft services.
- Disable remaining third-party services for testing.
- Disable nonessential startup apps in Task Manager.
- Restart Windows.
- Test League in Practice Tool.
- If the issue disappears, re-enable items in groups to identify the conflict.
- Restore normal startup after testing.
Clean boot can temporarily remove normal features
Microsoft recommends hiding Microsoft services first and returning to normal startup after troubleshooting. Do not use a clean boot state as your permanent Windows setup.
Run Riot repair when input settings remain broken
- Close League and Riot Client.
- Restart Windows.
- Open Riot Client.
- Use the repair option for League of Legends when available.
- Restart again after repair.
- Test in Practice Tool before playing a ranked or normal match.

Key takeaway
League click problems should be diagnosed by symptom: right-click movement, shop UI, left click, QWER hotkeys, cursor lock, and input stutter. Start with Esc, focus reset, modifier keys, and hotkeys before reinstalling. Use F9 only when the cursor leaves the game window, not as a universal fix.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do first when League click is not working?
Press Esc, close chat and shop, Alt+Tab out and back, then click the game field once. After that, test right click, left click, shop click, and QWER separately.
Why is right-click movement not working in League?
Game focus may be lost, chat may still be active, a modifier key may be stuck, or movement and attack-move keybinds may be corrupted. Check focus and hotkeys before replacing the mouse.
Does F9 fix League click problems?
F9 is mainly useful when the cursor leaves the League window, especially with multiple monitors. It is not the first fix for every right-click, shop, or hotkey problem.
Why can I move but not click items in the shop?
The shop UI may have lost focus, the display mode may be stuck, or an overlay may be blocking UI clicks. Reopen the shop, try Alt+Enter, and close overlays.
Why do QWER keys stop working with mouse clicks?
Alt, Ctrl, Shift, or chat focus may be stuck, or hotkeys may be duplicated. Press and release modifier keys, close chat, and check Hotkeys in Practice Tool.
Why does clicking make the game stutter?
Overlay tools, mouse software, high polling rate, or input-device conflicts may be adding input overhead. Close overlays and compare 1,000 Hz or 500 Hz only when clicking or mouse movement triggers the stutter.
Should I reset League settings?
Reset settings when multiple hotkeys are wrong, keybinds do not save, or Riot’s input-configuration reset path matches your symptom. Do not reset everything for a one-time shop focus issue.
