Operating Your SteelSeries Prime FPS Gaming Mouse

• Side Buttons: Two programmable buttons located on the left side of the mouse, typically used for forward/back navigation or in-game actions.
• CPI Button: Located on the bottom of the mouse, this button allows for on-the-fly cycling through pre-set or customized CPI profiles.

Customization with SteelSeries GG

The SteelSeries GG software unlocks the full potential of your Prime FPS Gaming Mouse:

Maintenance

Cleaning Your Mouse

Regular cleaning helps maintain the performance and longevity of your mouse:

• Exterior: Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Sensor: Gently clean the optical sensor on the bottom of the mouse with a cotton swab or compressed air to remove dust and debris. Ensure the mouse is disconnected before cleaning.
• Mouse Feet: Periodically check the PTFE feet on the bottom of the mouse for wear or debris. Clean gently if needed.

Storage

When not in use, store your mouse in a clean, dry environment away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Avoid coiling the cable too tightly to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your SteelSeries Prime FPS Gaming Mouse, refer to the following common solutions:

Mouse Not Responding

• Check USB Connection: Ensure the USB cable is securely plugged into a working USB port on your computer. Try a different USB port.
• Restart Computer: A simple restart can often resolve connectivity issues.
• Test on Another Device: If possible, test the mouse on another computer to determine if the issue is with the mouse or your system.
• Check Device Manager (Windows): Verify that the mouse is recognized in Device Manager and that there are no driver conflicts.

Inconsistent Tracking or Cursor Lag

• Clean Sensor: Dust or debris on the optical sensor can cause tracking issues. Refer to the Maintenance section for cleaning instructions.
• Mouse Pad Surface: Ensure you are using the mouse on a clean, uniform surface. Highly reflective or uneven surfaces can interfere with optical tracking.
• Adjust CPI: Experiment with different CPI settings in the SteelSeries GG software to find the optimal sensitivity for your usage.
• Polling Rate: Ensure the polling rate is set appropriately. While higher is generally better, very high polling rates on older systems might cause issues.

Buttons Not Registering or Double-Clicking

• Software Check: Open SteelSeries GG and ensure button assignments are correct and there are no conflicting profiles.
• Firmware Update: Check for and install any available firmware updates for your mouse via the SteelSeries GG software.
• Physical Obstruction: Inspect the buttons for any physical debris that might be preventing proper actuation.
