Shooting rockets without clicking?

So I have been having a problem for a while, and its really bugging me. When im in TF2, especially in jump maps (because it makes the problem much more obvious), 2 things happen to me fairly consistently.
1. My character will shoot without me clicking m1. Sometimes its once or twice, usually after i have just shot once already, sometimes its continuous, and does not stop until i click m1 again. This shows itself a lot in jump maps, but happens in pubs, scrims, and matches, and for any pockets out there, you can imagine how scary it is to be at 40 health not knowing if youre going to accidentally shoot a rocket at a wall next to you, killing yourself.
2. This is almost exclusively in jump maps, when i hold down m1, there is about a 50% chance that at some point when I am holding m1 down (usually pogoing), my character will stop shooting. This is extremely annoying, as i cant do long pogos with this problem.

Before people start telling me to get a new mouse, i already did. The problem started when i was using my Razer Abyssus, and has continued through to my current Steel Series Sensei. This problem only happens in tf2, never in any other games or outside of video games. I have changed around my settings, went back to dx9, messed with my chris' config and rayshud, i even tried reinstalling recently. Im sort of desperate. I havent found anything on this sort of thing online, so if anyone has any ideas, please help.

Do you have a soldier config from a while back?

I had the same problem a while ago and it was related to the script that hides the ambassador when shooting. Check your class configs that you have everything unbound and rebound. This seems unlikely considering the nature of your problem but it's worth a chech. Other thing is that your usb-port might be buggered so that the mouse disconnect for a brief instant.

I dont really have any soldier configs, i thing i had some stabby config downloaded, but i removed that. Only configs i have added are chris config and a jump config, but i dont really see how those would conflict. Ive removed chris config with no luck, and the jump config is brand new, though i can try changing it a bit. And What do you mean by class configs exactly?

Are you able to replicate the problem at specific certain times?

I cant force it to happen, it just does. I can try to pay more attention and see if there are certain times its very likely to happen, but i havent seen anything so far, and this has been happening for upwards of 2 months now. It usually doesnt happen when im not shooting at all, but there are times, usually when surfing, where it will happen completely at random, ill start shooting flares or sniper shots constantly. Ive seen it mostly happen though after ive shot once or more already, right afterwards, almost like my mouse is sticking, but I dont think its the mouse.

You're not by any chance playing on a laptop and hitting the touchpad are you?
What about mouse drivers, or something like XMouse that interprets button presses?

Im on a laptop, but i dont think its my touch pad. I have it set so that you cant click by tapping the pad, and i would hear the click of the mouse buttons. Also, it wouldnt explain how rockets could continue firing with my hands off the laptop entirely. Ive tried updating my driver, and idk what mousex is

Do you have a mouse that has button on the sides and you keep holding on them without noticing? Or did you enable +attack in console? If you did try -attack.
