8. Troubleshooting
- Mouse not responding:
- Ensure the mouse is powered on.
- Check battery level and charge if necessary.
- For wireless mode, ensure the USB receiver is properly connected and within range. Try a different USB port.
- For wired mode, ensure the cable is securely connected.
- Try restarting your computer.
- Lag or erratic movement:
- Ensure the mouse sensor is clean and free of debris.
- Check for interference in 2.4G wireless mode (e.g., other wireless devices).
- Ensure the polling rate is set appropriately for your system. Higher polling rates require more system resources.
- Update mouse drivers if available.
- Hot-swap switch not working:
- Ensure the switch is fully seated in the socket.
- Verify the switch is compatible with the Incott hot-swap system.
- Try re-inserting the switch or testing with a different switch.
9. User Tips
- Experiment with Switches: Take advantage of the hot-swappable design to find the micro switches that best suit your click preference for gaming or productivity.
- Optimize Polling Rate: While 8K polling rate offers the lowest latency, some systems may perform better at lower rates (e.g., 1000Hz) depending on hardware and game. Test different settings to find your optimal balance.
- Bluetooth for Productivity: Use Bluetooth mode for general tasks and productivity to conserve battery, but switch to 2.4G wireless or wired for competitive gaming.
- Regular Cleaning: Keep the sensor and mouse feet clean for consistent tracking performance.
