The DXT mouse is ambidextrous, allowing for comfortable use with either hand. To switch between left and right-hand modes, locate the prominent button at the base of the thumb side of the mouse. A single click will toggle the mouse's orientation for the desired hand.

4.3 Button Functions

• Left Click: Primary selection and activation.
• Right Click: Accesses contextual menus.
• Scroll Wheel: Scrolls content vertically. The scroll wheel can also be pressed for middle-click functionality in some applications.

4.4 DPI Adjustment

The DXT mouse features four adjustable DPI sensitivity levels: 500, 1000, 1500, and 2000. To change the DPI setting, locate the small button on the underside of the mouse. Pressing this button cycles through the available sensitivities, allowing you to select the speed that best suits your preference and task.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your DXT mouse:

• Cleaning the Surface: Regularly clean the mouse surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
• Cleaning the Optical Sensor: Ensure the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse is free from dust, lint, and debris. A soft brush or compressed air can be used to gently clear the sensor area.
