9. User Tips
- Driver Customization: Always install the 'A Hub' driver software to unlock the full potential of your mouse, including button remapping, macro creation, and fine-tuning performance settings like LOD and debounce.
- Polling Rate Experimentation: While 8000Hz offers the lowest latency, it can be demanding on your system. Experiment with different polling rates (e.g., 1000Hz, 2000Hz, 4000Hz) to find the optimal balance between performance and system stability for your setup.
- LOD Adjustment: If you experience issues with tracking when lifting the mouse, adjust the Lift-Off Distance (LOD) in the driver software. Different mouse pads may require different LOD settings for optimal performance.
- Battery Management: For competitive gaming, consider using wired mode or charging the mouse between sessions to ensure consistent performance and avoid unexpected battery depletion.
