4. Operating Instructions

Using your vertical ergonomic mouse is intuitive, but understanding its features will enhance your experience:

• Grip: Hold the mouse with your hand in a handshake position. Your thumb should rest comfortably on the side. This vertical grip promotes a neutral wrist position.
• Movement: Move the mouse using your forearm, not just your wrist. This larger movement reduces strain on your wrist and hand.
• Buttons: The mouse has 5 buttons. The standard left and right click buttons are positioned for easy access. There are also additional buttons, often located near the thumb, which can be customized.
• DPI Adjustment: Look for a dedicated DPI button, usually located near the scroll wheel or on the side. Pressing this button cycles through the available DPI settings (500, 1000, 1750) to adjust cursor speed and sensitivity.
• Customization: While the mouse is plug-and-play, some operating systems or third-party software may allow for further customization of button functions. Refer to your operating system's settings for mouse configuration.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your mouse, follow these simple maintenance tips:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the surface of the mouse. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Sensor Cleaning: Occasionally, dust or debris may accumulate around the optical sensor on the underside. Use a cotton swab or compressed air to gently clean the sensor area.
• Battery Replacement: Replace the AA batteries when the mouse performance degrades or if a low battery indicator (if present) illuminates.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the mouse in a clean, dry environment. Consider removing the batteries if storing for several months.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your R-Go Tools Wireless Vertical Ergonomic Mouse, try the following solutions:

• Mouse Not Responding:
  • Ensure the mouse is powered on.
  • Check the batteries. Replace them if they are low or depleted.
  • Ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged into a working USB port on your computer. Try a different USB port.
  • Move the mouse closer to the USB receiver to rule out interference or range issues.
  • Restart your computer.
• Erratic Cursor Movement:
  • Clean the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse.
