You can have a slider which doesn’t automatically submit, and then have a separate button to submit. One common question on the forum is how to check that the slider has been moved before the page can be submitted.

> Instead of having your keyboard component force the end of the routine, you need some code in Each Frame e.g. if slider.getRating() != None: if 'space' in key\_resp.keys: continueRoutine=False When this auto translates, you’ll need to switch the component to Both and then change null (the auto translation of None) to undefined

(in your case you’ll need a mouse submit, not a keyboard)
