To change the DPI setting, press the DPI Switch Button located on the top of the mouse. The LED indicator will blink to show the current DPI level.

Ergonomic Design
The SANWA GMATB128BK trackball mouse is designed to promote a natural wrist and arm position, reducing muscle tension and fatigue during extended use.
Image Description: A comparison illustrating the ergonomic benefits of the SANWA trackball mouse. An 'Ordinary Mouse' shows a strained forearm position, while the 'SANWA Mouse' demonstrates a natural, relaxed hand and wrist position with a 15-degree tilt, indicating less fatigue.
Image Description: A visual comparison between a 'Normal Mouse' and a 'Trackball.' The normal mouse requires back-and-forth movement, leading to tired wrists. The trackball allows for precise operation and saves space as only the ball is moved, not the entire device.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning of the trackball is essential to maintain smooth and accurate cursor movement.
Cleaning the Trackball
Image Description: A three-step visual guide on how to clean the trackball. Step 1 shows inserting a pen into a hole on the bottom of the mouse to push out the trackball. Step 2 shows removing the trackball and cleaning it with a rag or soft brush. Step 3 shows pushing the cleaned trackball back into the mouse housing.
- First Step: Locate the small hole on the underside of the mouse. Insert a pen or a similar blunt, thin object into this hole to gently push the trackball out from the top.
- Second Step: Once the trackball is removed, use a soft, lint-free cloth or a soft brush to clean the trackball itself and the optical sensors inside the trackball housing. Remove any dust or debris.
- Third Step: Carefully place the cleaned trackball back into its housing until it clicks into place. Ensure it rotates smoothly.
Note: Do not use any harsh cleaners or abrasive materials, as they may damage the surface of the trackball or the mouse.
