6. Troubleshooting

• Mouse not responding:
  Check if the mouse is powered on. Ensure the battery is correctly installed and has sufficient charge. Verify the USB dongle is securely plugged in or that Bluetooth is properly paired. Try re-pairing the Bluetooth connection or using a different USB port.
• Intermittent connection:
  Ensure the mouse is within the effective range (up to 10 meters). Avoid obstructions between the mouse and the receiver/device. Check for potential interference from other wireless devices.
• Inaccurate tracking:
  Clean the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse. Ensure you are using the mouse on a suitable surface; the MD200 tracks on almost any surface, including glass. Adjust DPI settings via Armoury Crate if tracking is too fast or slow.
• Buttons not working:
  Check for any physical obstructions. If using Armoury Crate, ensure button assignments are correct.
