Troubleshooting

• Mouse not responding:
  Ensure the mouse is powered on and fully charged. Check the connectivity toggle switch on the underside to confirm it's set to the correct mode (USB receiver or Bluetooth). For USB, try a different port. For Bluetooth, re-initiate pairing.

  Ensure the USB receiver is securely plugged in and not obstructed. For Bluetooth, ensure your device's Bluetooth is enabled and the mouse is within range. Update 3Dconnexion drivers.
• Scroll wheel issues (skipping, jumping):
  This can sometimes occur due to debris. Try cleaning around the scroll wheel. If the issue persists, ensure drivers are up to date.
• Buttons not working as expected:
  Verify button assignments in the 3Dconnexion software. Ensure the correct application profile is active. Reinstall drivers if necessary.
