• Software not detecting mouse: Ensure the mouse is connected and recognized by your operating system. Restart the web-driven software or your browser.
• Buttons or scroll wheel not working: Check for any physical obstructions. If using custom settings, reset to default via the software to see if the issue persists.

7. User Tips

Based on user feedback and common questions, here are some tips for optimizing your experience with the Ironcat G23v2 mouse:

• Ergonomics: The mouse's 'tight waist' and 'drop back' design are intended for comfortable long-term use. Experiment with your grip to find the most comfortable competitive state. The key guide slot is designed to automatically adapt to the finger arc for a better operating experience.
• Micro-motion Feel: Users appreciate the distinct micro-motion feel of the buttons, describing it as 'soft and crisp' or providing a 'light and brittle' press with quick springback. This is particularly favored by players who prefer fast point actions.
• Aesthetics: The nano-coating provides a skin-friendly experience and contributes to the overall aesthetic.
• Power Management: If the mouse is low on power and you experience unstable USB port voltage, it's recommended to use the mouse wirelessly instead of attempting to charge it from that port, as it might disconnect the circuit.
• Foot Sticker Stability: The large foot stickers are designed to increase contact area and ensure stability during intense movements.
