  • Try plugging the receiver into a different USB port.
  • Ensure the mouse is charged.
• Bluetooth Pairing Failure:
  • Make sure the mouse is in Bluetooth pairing mode.
  • Ensure your computer's Bluetooth is enabled and discoverable.
  • Remove any previous pairings of the mouse from your computer's Bluetooth settings and try pairing again.

6.2 DPI/Polling Rate Not Changing

• DPI: Press the DPI adjustment key firmly. If using custom settings, ensure the Web/Client Dual Driver software is running and settings are applied.

8. User Tips

Maximize your gaming experience with these helpful tips:

• Keep Drivers Updated: Regularly check the official Darmoshark website for the latest Web/Client Dual Driver software to ensure you have access to the newest features and performance optimizations.

• Customize for Comfort: Experiment with DPI settings and button assignments using the driver software to find what feels most comfortable and efficient for your grip style and game preferences.
• Battery Management: While the mouse has a long battery life, it's good practice to charge it overnight or during breaks to avoid interruptions during critical gaming moments.
