Operating Instructions

DPI Adjustment
The mouse features an adjustable DPI range from 50 to 26,000. Press the DPI button on the underside of the mouse to cycle through preset DPI levels. The LED indicator may change color or flash to indicate the current DPI setting. Fine-tuning and custom DPI steps can be configured using the VGN HUB software.

Polling Rate
The mouse supports a polling rate of 1000Hz by default. An additional receiver (often included or available separately) may be required to achieve a 4000Hz polling rate. The polling rate can be adjusted via the VGN HUB software.
Programmable Buttons
The VGN F1 Pro Max features 6 programmable buttons. These buttons can be customized using the VGN HUB software to assign specific functions, macros, or key bindings according to your preferences.
Battery Status Indicator
The LED indicator near the scroll wheel provides visual feedback on the battery status:
- Green: Normal battery level.
- Orange: Charging in progress.
- Red: Low battery, requires recharging.
Automatic Sleep and Energy Saving
To conserve battery, the mouse will enter a light sleep mode after 1 minute of inactivity and a deep sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. Moving the mouse or pressing any button will wake it up.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Mouse
Regularly clean your mouse to maintain performance and hygiene. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the surface. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Sensor Maintenance
Ensure the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse remains clean and free of dust or debris. Use a cotton swab or compressed air to gently clean the sensor area if tracking issues occur.
Battery Care
To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the mouse frequently. Recharge the mouse when the red LED indicator appears. Store the mouse in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
