This manual provides essential information for setting up, operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting your Mousetrapper Alpha.

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the Mousetrapper Alpha from its packaging. Ensure all components, including the device and any cables, are present.

Search for "Mousetrapper Alpha" in your computer's Bluetooth settings and pair the device.
4. Software Installation (Optional): For advanced customization of programmable buttons, download and install the latest Mousetrapper software from the official Mousetrapper website.

Operating Instructions

The Mousetrapper Alpha combines a control pad and a full-sized keyboard for seamless operation.

Control Pad Usage

Ergonomic Benefits

The design of the Mousetrapper Alpha promotes a natural and relaxed posture. By keeping your hands and arms close to your body and in line with your shoulders, it helps prevent overextension and reduces the risk of repetitive strain injuries. The central pointing device allows for movement with your fingers and wrist, rather than your entire arm, further contributing to ergonomic comfort.
