Once connected, your Rampage SMX-R12 Hawker mouse is ready for use. Here are its primary functions:

5. DPI Settings

The Rampage SMX-R12 Hawker features an optical sensor with adjustable DPI (Dots Per Inch) settings, allowing you to change the mouse's sensitivity on the fly. Higher DPI means the cursor moves further with less physical mouse movement, ideal for fast-paced gaming. Lower DPI provides more precise control, suitable for tasks requiring accuracy.

Use the dedicated DPI adjustment buttons (usually located behind the scroll wheel) to cycle through the available DPI levels. The mouse typically has visual indicators (e.g., LED color changes) to show the current DPI setting, though specific details may vary.

The mouse supports a maximum DPI of 4800, offering a wide range of sensitivity options.

2. Connect to Power: Plug the standard USB-A end of the charging cable into a powered USB port on your computer or a USB wall adapter.
3. Charging Indicator: The mouse will typically display an LED indicator to show that it is charging. This light may turn solid when fully charged.

• Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the mouse frequently. Charge it when the low battery indicator appears.
