1. Locate the USB receiver (1K for G23, 8K for G23 Pro) from the package.
2. Plug the USB receiver into an available USB port on your computer. For optimal signal, use the receiver expander if provided with your G23 model.
3. Turn on the mouse using the power switch located on the bottom of the mouse.
4. The mouse should automatically connect to the receiver. If not, refer to the troubleshooting section.

4.3. Connecting via Wired Mode

For a direct and stable connection, or when charging, you can use the mouse in wired mode:

1. Connect the USB-C end of the cable to the mouse.
2. Connect the USB-A end of the cable to an available USB port on your computer.
3. The mouse will function immediately in wired mode and will charge simultaneously.

4.4. Installing/Replacing Hot-Swappable Switches

The Incott G23 Series features hot-swappable micro-movement switches, allowing for easy customization and replacement without soldering. This applies to the left and right click switches.

1. Ensure the mouse is turned off.
2. Carefully remove the mouse feet or access the switch compartments on the bottom of the mouse as indicated in the product overview image.
3. Using the provided micro-switch clamp or a suitable tool, gently pull out the existing switch.
4. Align the pins of the new switch with the corresponding holes in the socket and gently push it in until it is securely seated.

5.1. DPI Adjustment

The mouse features adjustable DPI (Dots Per Inch) settings to control cursor sensitivity. The G23 model supports up to 32000 DPI, while the G23 Pro supports up to 45000 DPI. Specific buttons or software may be used to cycle through DPI presets. Refer to the official product page or software for detailed DPI adjustment methods.

5.2. Polling Rate Settings

The Incott G23 Series supports various polling rates, including an ultra-fast 8000Hz in 2.4GHz wireless mode (G23 Pro includes 8K receiver, G23 requires separate purchase). Higher polling rates provide faster response times but may consume more battery. The default polling rate is 1000Hz, offering up to 143 hours of battery life.

5.3. Customizing Buttons and Settings

Advanced customization of mouse settings, including button assignments and other parameters, can typically be done through dedicated software or a web-based interface. For the Incott G23 Series, settings can be edited directly within your web browser. Please consult the official Mechkeys website for the specific URL and instructions to access the customization interface.

5.4. Battery Life and Management

The mouse is equipped with a 500mAh battery. Battery life varies depending on usage and polling rate. At 1000Hz polling rate, the mouse can last up to 143 hours. Higher polling rates will reduce battery duration. Recharge the mouse when the battery indicator shows low power or when performance degrades.

6. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the mouse. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no liquid enters the mouse. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the mouse in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Handling: Avoid dropping the mouse or subjecting it to strong impacts, as this can damage internal components.
