Operating Instructions
The Porodo Gaming Mouse features 7 programmable buttons and customizable RGB lighting for an enhanced gaming experience.
- Basic Functions: The left and right click buttons perform standard mouse actions. The scroll wheel allows for vertical scrolling and also functions as a middle click button.
- DPI Adjustment: The mouse supports DPI settings up to 6400 DPI. Use the dedicated DPI button (usually located behind the scroll wheel) to cycle through preset DPI levels. Higher DPI settings increase cursor sensitivity, ideal for fast-paced gaming.
- 7D Buttons: This mouse features 7 distinct buttons. In addition to the standard left, right, and middle clicks, there are typically two side buttons (forward/back) and a DPI button. The seventh button's function may vary or be programmable via software.
- RGB Lighting: The mouse features 6 breathing RGB lighting modes. These modes cycle through various colors and effects, enhancing the aesthetic appeal. Lighting modes can often be adjusted or turned off via the macro software.
- Macro Software Function: Utilize the macro software to assign custom functions, complex key sequences, or macros to any of the 7 buttons. This allows for personalized control and efficiency in games and applications.

Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your gaming mouse:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the rubberized surface of the mouse. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Sensor Cleaning: Occasionally, use a cotton swab or compressed air to clean the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse to prevent tracking issues.
- Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the mouse cable to prevent internal wire damage. Do not pull the mouse by its cable.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the mouse in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
