4.2 Connecting Wirelessly (2.4G Mode)

  1. Insert the GEM 8K Dongle into an available USB port on your computer.
  2. Turn on the mouse using the power switch located on the bottom of the mouse.
  3. The mouse should automatically connect to the dongle. If not, press the pairing button (if available) on the mouse and dongle simultaneously until the connection is established.

To use the mouse in wired mode, simply connect the provided USB-C cable directly from the mouse to your computer. The mouse will function immediately and charge simultaneously.

4.4 Software Installation

For advanced customization, including DPI settings, polling rate adjustments, button remapping, and macros, download the official ATK software from the ATK website. Follow the on-screen instructions for installation.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 DPI Adjustment

5.2 Polling Rate Settings
