- Side Buttons: Default functions typically include forward/back in web browsers. These can be customized via the driver software.
DPI Adjustment
The R5 Ultra mouse features a dedicated DPI button, typically located on the bottom of the mouse. Pressing this button cycles through preset DPI levels. The current DPI level is indicated by a change in the internal LED color. You can customize these DPI stages and their corresponding values using the driver software.

Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance and appearance, clean your mouse regularly:
- Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the mouse.
- For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Use compressed air to clear dust and debris from the hollowed-out carbon fiber shell and around the scroll wheel and sensor.
- Clean the optical sensor on the bottom of the mouse with a cotton swab lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol.
Storage
When not in use for extended periods, store the mouse in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the mouse is turned off to preserve battery life.
Grip Tape Application (Optional)
The R5 Ultra includes DIY anti-slip grips for enhanced comfort and control. Carefully peel the backing from the grip tape and apply it to the desired areas on the mouse, such as the sides or main click buttons. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application for best adhesion.
Troubleshooting
