6.2. Wired Connection
Simply connect the mouse to your computer using the provided USB Type-C cable. The mouse will automatically be recognized and function in wired mode. If both wired and wireless connections are active, the wired mode will be prioritized.
6.3. 2.4G Wireless Connection
- Switch the three-section mode switch on the bottom of the mouse to the G icon (Right dial). The green light at the scroll wheel position will stay on for three seconds and then go out, indicating 2.4G mode is active.
- For optimal wireless experience, insert the 2.4G NANO receiver into the complimentary adapter, then connect the adapter to the USB Type-C cable. Place the receiver approximately 10cm from the mouse to reduce delay and interference.
- If the 2.4G connection is not functioning (e.g., if the factory pairing is lost), you can re-pair:
- With the switch on the bottom set to the G icon, simultaneously press the Left, Middle (scroll wheel click), and Right buttons. The green light of the scroll wheel will flash, indicating pairing mode.
- Insert the 2.4G NANO receiver into a USB port on your computer.
- Once connected successfully, the indicator light will turn off.

- Switch the three-section mode switch on the bottom of the mouse to the B icon (Left dial). The blue light at the scroll wheel position will stay on for three seconds and then go out (provided Bluetooth connection is successful).
- To enter pairing mode, with the switch on the bottom set to the B icon, simultaneously press the Left, Middle (scroll wheel click), and Right buttons. The blue light of the scroll wheel will flash, indicating pairing mode.
- On your computer or device, open Bluetooth settings and search for "M3 Mouse".
- Select "M3 Mouse" to pair. Once connected successfully, the indicator light will turn off.
Note: 1K and 4K receivers can be switched. Press the Middle button + Right button for three seconds simultaneously, and the white light prompt of the wheel flashes twice.
