seta cg_weaponcycledelay "100"

that may fix it

prevents accidental weapon switching,client side command.

If you rotate your mouse button for 2 "steps", you will change one weaponbank if the interval betwen that steps is less than 150 miliseconds,or 2 weaponbanks if its more than 150 miliseconds.

First you boil about 4L of water, then you pour it over your face and your mouse, and then it will be fixed.
