3. Setup Guide

3.1 Unboxing and Initial Inspection

1. Carefully remove the mouse and all accessories from the packaging.
2. Check for any visible damage or missing components.

3.2 Connecting the Mouse

The NINJUTSO TEN AIR mouse uses 2.4Ghz wireless connectivity.

2. Plug the USB receiver into an available USB port on your computer.
3. Turn on the mouse using the power switch located on the underside of the mouse.
4. Your computer should automatically detect and install the necessary drivers. If not, proceed to the next step.

3.3 Driver Installation (NinjaForce)

For full customization and optimal performance, it is recommended to install the NinjaForce PC driver.

1. Visit the official NINJUTSO website to download the latest NinjaForce software.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.
3. Once installed, launch NinjaForce to customize DPI settings, polling rate, button assignments, and other advanced features.

3.4 Charging the Mouse

The mouse is rechargeable. Connect the included USB cable to the mouse and a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter) to charge. The LED indicator on the mouse will show charging status.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Basic Functions

• Left Click: Primary action, selection.
• Right Click: Context menu, secondary action.
• Scroll Wheel: Scroll up/down, middle click.
• Side Buttons: Typically assigned to forward/back in web browsers or customizable via NinjaForce software.

4.2 Advanced Customization (via NinjaForce Software)

The NinjaForce software allows you to personalize your mouse settings:

• DPI Adjustment: Set multiple DPI levels and switch between them using a dedicated button (if available) or software.
• Polling Rate: Adjust the polling rate up to 8000Hz for ultra-responsive tracking.
• Button Assignment: Reassign functions to any of the 5 buttons.
• Macros: Create and assign complex macros for in-game actions.
• Angle Adjustment: Fine-tune the AIMNINJA sensor's angle adjustment for personalized control.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

• Regularly clean the mouse surface with a soft, dry cloth.
• For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe dry immediately.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the HyperFinish coating.
• Clean the sensor area with a cotton swab to ensure optimal tracking performance.

5.2 HyperSkates Break-in

Due to the advanced composite materials and manufacturing process, the HyperSkates foot pads may require a period of break-in to achieve their smoothest glide. Continue using the mouse normally, and the surface will become optimally smooth over time.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Connectivity Issues

• Mouse not responding: Ensure the mouse is turned on and fully charged. Check if the USB receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port. Try a different USB port.
• Intermittent connection: Ensure the mouse is within range of the USB receiver. Avoid placing the receiver near other wireless devices or sources of electromagnetic interference.
• Re-pairing: If the mouse loses connection, consult the NinjaForce software or the official NINJUTSO website for instructions on how to re-pair the mouse with its receiver.

6.2 Performance Issues

• Inaccurate tracking: Clean the mouse sensor. Ensure you are using the mouse on a suitable mouse pad. Adjust DPI settings in the NinjaForce software.
• Button issues: If buttons feel inconsistent or unresponsive, ensure the NinjaForce software is up to date. The BTS key pre-compression system is designed to prevent empty key travel, but if issues persist, contact support.
• Scroll wheel issues: If the HyperScroll wheel feels inconsistent, ensure no debris is obstructing it.

6.3 Battery Issues

• Mouse not charging: Ensure the charging cable is properly connected to both the mouse and a working USB power source. Try a different cable or USB port.
• Short battery life: Reduce the polling rate in the NinjaForce software if maximum performance is not always required, as higher polling rates consume more power.

8. User Tips

• Optimize Polling Rate: While 8000Hz offers the lowest latency, it consumes more battery. Adjust the polling rate in NinjaForce software based on your activity (e.g., lower for general use, higher for competitive gaming) to balance performance and battery life.
• Break-in HyperSkates: Allow a short period of normal use for the HyperSkates foot pads to fully break in and achieve their optimal smoothness.
• Ergonomic Grip: Experiment with different grip styles (grasp, clasp, finger grip) to find the most comfortable and effective posture for your hand, leveraging the mouse's ergonomic design to reduce fatigue.
• Software Customization: Regularly check for updates to the NinjaForce software to ensure you have the latest features and performance enhancements. Utilize the software to customize button mappings and DPI settings to suit your specific gaming needs.
