Connect the USB cable of the PERIMICE-520 directly to an available USB port on your computer. The mouse is plug-and-play and should be recognized automatically by your operating system (Windows 7, 8, 10, 11, and later versions).
2. Adjusting the Angle
The PERIMICE-520 includes two detachable stands (10-degree and 20-degree) to customize the mouse angle. These stands attach magnetically to the bottom of the mouse. Select the stand that provides the most comfortable wrist and arm position for your ergonomic needs.
3. Driver Installation for Programmable Buttons
For full functionality, including programming the 6 customizable buttons, download the official driver software from the Perixx website. Once installed, the software allows you to assign various functions and macros to the programmable buttons.
Operating Instructions

The PERIMICE-520 features an 8-button design. The standard left and right click buttons operate as typical mouse buttons. The remaining 6 buttons are programmable via the driver software.
2. Tilting Scroll Wheel
The scroll wheel supports both vertical and horizontal scrolling. Tilt the scroll wheel left or right for horizontal scrolling, and press it down for a middle-click function.
3. DPI Adjustment
The mouse offers adjustable DPI settings of 400 and 1600. This allows you to change the cursor sensitivity to suit your preference or task requirements. The DPI switch is located on the underside of the mouse.
4. Ergonomic Design
The sculpted shape of the PERIMICE-520 is designed to support your hand comfortably, reducing strain during extended use. The trackball allows for cursor control with minimal arm movement.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Trackball
Over time, dust and debris can accumulate around the trackball, affecting its smooth operation. To clean:

- Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the trackball clean.
- Carefully clean the inside of the trackball housing, paying attention to the small sensor rollers.
- Reinsert the trackball into its housing.
Regular cleaning ensures consistent and precise cursor control.
Troubleshooting
Cursor Movement Issues
- Irregular or Jerky Movement: This is often caused by dirt or dust on the trackball or inside its housing. Refer to the "Cleaning the Trackball" section for instructions.
