Adjusting DPI (Sensitivity)

The mouse offers three adjustable DPI levels: 800, 1200, and 1600. DPI (Dots Per Inch) determines how sensitive the mouse cursor is to movement. A higher DPI means the cursor moves further with less physical mouse movement.

  1. To change the DPI setting, press the DPI adjustment button located on the top of the mouse, below the scroll wheel.
  2. Each press will cycle to the next DPI level (800 → 1200 → 1600 → 800).
  3. Select the DPI level that best suits your task and screen resolution.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Mouse

  • Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the mouse.
  • For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the mouse's finish.
  • Do not immerse the mouse in water or any liquid.

Battery Replacement

When the mouse performance degrades or stops responding, it is likely time to replace the batteries. Follow the "Installing Batteries" steps in the Setup Guide to replace the two AAA batteries.
