Operating Instructions

2. Cleaning

To maintain optimal performance and hygiene, regularly clean your mouse. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring no moisture enters the internal components. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

1. Mouse Not Responding

• Ensure the mouse is switched ON using the power switch on the underside.
• Check if the batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
• Verify that the USB receiver is securely plugged into a working USB-A port on your computer. Try a different USB port if available.
• Restart your computer.

2. Irregular Cursor Movement

• Ensure the mouse is being used on a suitable surface. For better tracking, it is recommended to use a mousepad.
• Clean the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse with a soft, dry cloth.
• Adjust the DPI setting using the DPI switch button to see if a different sensitivity improves tracking.

3. Side Buttons (Forward/Backward) Not Working on Mac

While the Rapoo EV250 is compatible with Mac OS, the additional side buttons (Forward/Backward) may not function without specific driver software. Rapoo does not currently offer dedicated software for Mac to customize these buttons. Basic left/right click and scroll wheel functionality will work as expected.
