4.3 Adjusting Lift Off Distance (LOD)

The LOD value determines how far the mouse can be lifted before it stops tracking. Adjusting this can improve tracking when the mouse is lifted off the surface.

1. Download and launch the Pulsar mouse software from the official Pulsar website (pulsar.gg).
2. Select your specific mouse model (X2 v2 Wireless) in the software.
3. Navigate to the "Performance" tab in the top menu.
4. Locate the LOD adjustment section in the center of the interface.
5. You can typically adjust the LOD value between 1mm and 2mm. For users with Superglide skates or thick mouse pads, a 2mm LOD is recommended.
