Troubleshooting
Mouse Not Responding
- Check Battery: Ensure the mouse is charged. Connect it via USB-C cable to check if it works in wired mode.
- Check Connection: For wireless mode, ensure the 2.4G receiver is securely plugged into a USB port and the mouse is turned on. Try a different USB port.
- Re-pair: If connection issues persist, try re-pairing the mouse with the receiver (refer to the software manual for specific steps).
- Driver: Ensure the latest drivers are installed. Reinstall the customization software if necessary.
Inaccurate Tracking or Lag
- Surface: Ensure you are using the mouse on a suitable surface. While the VT7 MAX (3950 Ultimate sensor) supports glass tracking, other surfaces may offer better performance.
- Sensor Cleanliness: Clean the optical sensor on the bottom of the mouse.
- Interference: Wireless mice can be affected by interference from other wireless devices. Ensure the receiver is not too far from the mouse and there are no major obstructions. The mouse features strong anti-interference technology, but extreme conditions can still affect performance.
- Polling Rate: Experiment with different polling rates in the software. Higher polling rates (e.g., 8000Hz) offer lower latency but may consume more power.
Buttons Not Working Correctly
- Software Settings: Check the button assignments in the Rapoo customization software. Ensure no conflicting profiles are active.
- Physical Obstruction: Inspect buttons for any physical debris or damage.

- Ergonomic Grip: Experiment with different grip styles (palm, claw, fingertip) to find the most comfortable and efficient way to hold the mouse, taking advantage of its ergonomic design.
- Battery Monitoring: Keep an eye on the battery level using the charge indicator on the mouse or the battery icon in the taskbar driver software to avoid unexpected power loss during critical moments.
