4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Trackball Operation

The M575S uses a trackball for cursor movement. Instead of moving the entire mouse, you control the cursor by rolling the blue trackball with your thumb.

This method allows for precise control and reduces arm and wrist movement, contributing to comfort during long work sessions.

Regular cleaning of your trackball mouse ensures smooth and precise operation. Dust and debris can accumulate around the trackball, affecting its movement.

5.1. Cleaning the Trackball
