5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Ergonomic Hand Position
The vertical design of the M618PLUS RGB mouse encourages a natural handshake grip, aligning your wrist and forearm in a more neutral position. This design aims to reduce muscle strain and discomfort associated with traditional mouse use.

New users may require an adaptation period, typically around one week, to become accustomed to the vertical orientation.
5.2 DPI Adjustment
The mouse features 5 adjustable DPI levels: 800, 1200, 1600, 2400, and 4000 DPI. You can cycle through these settings using the dedicated DPI Shift button located on the side of the mouse. This allows you to quickly adjust cursor speed and precision to suit different tasks.
For advanced users, installing the DELUX driver software enables DPI adjustment up to 12800 DPI, providing even finer control.
5.3 RGB Lighting Control
The M618PLUS RGB mouse features dynamic RGB chasing lighting. To turn the lights on or off, locate the switch at the bottom of the mouse. Further customization of lighting effects can be achieved through the DELUX driver software.
5.4 Programmable Buttons and Software
All 6 buttons on the mouse are programmable using the DELUX driver software. This allows you to assign custom functions, define lighting effect modes, and create macros for enhanced productivity or gaming. Once configured, settings are stored in the mouse's memory.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your DELUX M618PLUS RGB mouse, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mouse not responding. | Loose USB connection, faulty USB port, driver issue. | Ensure the USB cable is securely plugged in. Try a different USB port. Restart your computer. Reinstall the mouse driver if necessary. |
| Cursor movement is erratic or imprecise. | Dirty optical sensor, unsuitable surface, incorrect DPI setting. | Clean the optical sensor. Use the mouse on a clean, non-reflective surface (e.g., a mouse pad). Adjust the DPI setting using the DPI shift button. |
| RGB lighting is off. | RGB switch is off. | Check the RGB on/off switch located at the bottom of the mouse. |
| Difficulty adapting to the vertical design. | New ergonomic form factor. | An adaptation period of at least one week is common for new users. Continue using the mouse to allow your hand and wrist to adjust. |
| Removable wrist rest detaches easily. | Normal design, or potential wear. | Ensure it is properly attached. If it consistently detaches and causes inconvenience, consider using a small amount of adhesive if permanent attachment is desired. |
| Side buttons not working on Mac. | Driver incompatibility with macOS. | The DELUX driver software is not compatible with macOS. While the basic mouse functions (left/right click, scroll) work on Mac, the side buttons are not available for customization or use. |
