4. Operating Instructions
The Xtrfy M8 Wireless mouse is designed for hardware-based adjustments, meaning no software installation is required. All settings are configured directly on the mouse.
4.1. Adjusting DPI (Dots Per Inch)
DPI settings control the mouse cursor's sensitivity. To change DPI:
- Locate the DPI button on the underside of the mouse.
- Press the DPI button to cycle through available DPI settings. An indicator light (usually on the scroll wheel or bottom) will change color to indicate the current DPI level. Refer to the included quick guide for specific color-to-DPI mappings.
4.2. Adjusting Polling Rate
The polling rate determines how often the mouse reports its position to the computer. A higher polling rate generally results in smoother and more responsive tracking.
- The default polling rate is 1000 Hz.
- Specific instructions for adjusting polling rate are typically found in the quick start guide provided with the mouse, often involving a combination of button presses on the underside.
4.3. Button Functionality
The mouse features standard left and right click buttons, a clickable scroll wheel, and two side buttons. The main click buttons utilize mechanical switches for a high-quality tactile feel.
