4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Button Functions
- Left Click: Primary action button.
- Right Click: Secondary action button, typically for context menus.
- Scroll Wheel: Scrolls content vertically. Can also be pressed for a middle-click function.
- DPI Button: Located on the bottom of the mouse, this button cycles through preset DPI (Dots Per Inch) sensitivity levels.
- Side Buttons: Two programmable buttons on the left side, typically used for forward/backward navigation in web browsers or custom in-game actions.
4.2. DPI Adjustment
Press the DPI button on the bottom of the mouse to cycle through different sensitivity settings. Each press will change the DPI level, indicated by a corresponding LED color or pattern (refer to software for specific indicators).
4.3. Polling Rate Adjustment

5. Maintenance
5.1. Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance and hygiene, regularly clean your mouse:
- Disconnect the mouse from your computer.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe the surface.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Use a cotton swab or compressed air to clean around the scroll wheel and sensor area.
5.2. Battery Charging (Wired Mode)
When connected via USB-C cable, the mouse's internal 200 mAh battery (or 500 mAh for upcoming 'Plus' models) will automatically charge. A full charge provides up to 60 hours of playtime at 1000 Hz polling rate.
6. Troubleshooting
- Mouse not responding: Ensure the battery is correctly installed and charged. Check the connectivity switch (2.4G/BT) is in the correct position. For 2.4G, ensure the USB dongle is securely plugged in. For Bluetooth, verify pairing in your computer's settings.
- Lag or intermittent connection: Move the USB dongle closer to the mouse or use a USB extension cable. Ensure no other wireless devices are causing interference. For Bluetooth, try re-pairing the device.
- Inaccurate tracking: Clean the optical sensor on the bottom of the mouse. Ensure you are using the mouse on a suitable surface (a mouse pad is recommended). Adjust DPI settings to your preference.
- Buttons not working: Check if the buttons are configured correctly in the ATK software. Try restarting your computer.
