4. Setup

4.1. Charging the Mouse

Connect the USB-C Gold-Plated Cable to the mouse and a powered USB port on your computer or a USB charger. The mouse will begin charging. A full charge provides approximately 600 hours of battery life (at 1000Hz polling rate).

4.2. Connectivity Options

The ATK A9 Ultimate supports three connection modes:

1. 2.4GHz Wireless (ATK HyperSpeed):
   • Plug the 2.4GHz Extender Dongle (GEM8K receiver) into an available USB port on your computer.
   • Turn on the mouse. It should automatically connect.
   • This mode offers a response time of less than 1ms and supports up to 4K wireless polling rate (upgradeable to 8K via firmware).
2. Bluetooth 5.3:
   • Switch the mouse to Bluetooth mode.
   • On your device, search for Bluetooth devices and select "ATK A9 Ultimate".
   • This mode is ideal for mobile devices and general use, offering low power consumption.
3. USB-C Wired:
   • Connect the mouse directly to your computer using the USB-C Gold-Plated Cable.
   • This mode provides zero-latency performance and simultaneously charges the mouse. It supports up to 8K wired polling rate.

4.3. Software Installation (ATK HUB 3.0)

For full customization and optimal performance, download and install the ATK HUB 3.0 software from the official ATK website. This software allows you to:

• Create surface-specific calibration profiles.
• Adjust lift-off distance (LOD) between 1-2mm.
• Customize RGB lighting patterns.
• Program the 8 buttons for various functions.
• Adjust DPI settings and polling rates.

5. Operating the Mouse

5.1. DPI Adjustment

The mouse features a wide DPI adjustment range from 10 to 30,000 DPI, overlockable up to 42,000 DPI. You can cycle through preset DPI stages using the dedicated DPI button (usually located on the underside or top of the mouse) or fine-tune it using the ATK HUB 3.0 software.

5.2. Button Functions

The ATK A9 Ultimate features 8 programmable buttons. By default, these buttons perform standard mouse functions (left click, right click, scroll wheel click, forward/back side buttons). Use the ATK HUB 3.0 software to reassign functions, create macros, or set specific commands for different applications or games.

5.3. Polling Rate

The mouse supports a polling rate of up to 8KHz in wired mode and 4KHz wirelessly (upgradeable to 8KHz wirelessly via firmware updates). A higher polling rate means more frequent data transmission to your computer, resulting in smoother and more responsive cursor movement.

6. Maintenance

6.1. Cleaning

To maintain optimal performance and hygiene, regularly clean your mouse. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, ensuring no liquid enters the mouse. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

6.2. Battery Care

To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the mouse frequently. Charge it when the battery indicator is low. If storing the mouse for an extended period, charge it to about 50% and store it in a cool, dry place.

7. Troubleshooting

• Mouse not responding: Ensure the mouse is charged and turned on. Check the connection mode (2.4GHz dongle, Bluetooth, or wired) and ensure it's correctly paired or plugged in. Try a different USB port.
• Lag or stuttering: Ensure your computer meets the minimum recommended specifications for 8KHz usage (see 'Warm Tips' below). Reduce wireless interference by moving other wireless devices away. Ensure the mouse firmware and ATK HUB 3.0 software are up to date.
• DPI not changing: Ensure the ATK HUB 3.0 software is running and your custom profiles are active. Try resetting the mouse to factory defaults via the software.
• Buttons not working: Check button assignments in ATK HUB 3.0. Ensure no other software is conflicting with mouse inputs.

9. User Tips

• Software Customization: Always utilize the ATK HUB 3.0 software to fine-tune your mouse settings. Creating surface-specific calibration profiles can significantly improve tracking accuracy on different mouse pads.
• Lift-Off Distance (LOD): Experiment with the 1-2mm LOD settings in the software to find what feels most comfortable and responsive for your playstyle, especially in fast-paced games.
• Grip Tapes: The included grip tape set offers different textures. Try them out to enhance your grip comfort and control, particularly during long gaming sessions.
