- Side Buttons: The mouse features programmable side buttons, typically used for forward/backward navigation in web browsers or customizable functions in games via the ATK HUB 3.0 software.
- DPI Adjustment: Use the dedicated DPI button (location may vary slightly between models, often on the bottom or top) to cycle through preset DPI sensitivity settings. These settings can be fine-tuned and customized using ATK HUB 3.0.

5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
The ATK Dragonfly Y9 series mice feature a brand new nano coating that is specifically designed to be sweat-resistant, stain-resistant, and easy to clean, ensuring your mouse looks and feels new for longer.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution to gently wipe the surface of the mouse.
- Avoid: Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or strong solvents, as these can damage the nano coating and potentially harm internal electronic components.
- Caution: Ensure that no liquid enters the mouse through any openings or seams.
5.2 Battery Care
Your mouse is equipped with an 800mAh high-density battery, optimized for long gaming sessions.
- Regular Charging: Charge the mouse regularly to maintain optimal battery health and performance.
- Avoid Deep Discharge: While the battery is robust, frequent complete draining of the battery can reduce its overall lifespan. Try to recharge before it's fully depleted.
- Long-Term Storage: If you plan to store the mouse for an extended period (several weeks or months), it is advisable to charge it to approximately 50% before storage. This helps preserve battery longevity.
