Maintenance
1. Cleaning
The ATK F1 V2 features an All-New Nano Coating, making it sweat-resistant, stain-resistant, and easy to clean.
- Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the surface of the mouse.
- For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the coating and internal components.
- Regularly clean the optical sensor area on the bottom of the mouse with a cotton swab to ensure accurate tracking.

Troubleshooting
1. Mouse Not Responding
- Check Battery: Ensure the mouse is charged. Connect it via USB-C cable to check if it powers on.
- Check Connectivity:
- 2.4G Wireless: Ensure the dongle is securely plugged into a working USB port and the mouse is in 2.4G mode. Try a different USB port.
- Bluetooth: Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your computer and the mouse is correctly paired and in Bluetooth mode. Try re-pairing.
- Wired: Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the mouse and the computer.
- Power Cycle: Turn the mouse off, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
- Restart Computer: Sometimes a computer restart can resolve connectivity issues.
2. Inconsistent Tracking or Cursor Lag
- Clean Sensor: Dust or debris on the optical sensor can cause tracking issues. Clean the sensor area on the bottom of the mouse.
- Surface: Ensure you are using the mouse on a suitable surface. Highly reflective or uneven surfaces can affect tracking. A quality mouse pad is recommended.
- Interference: In wireless modes, other wireless devices might cause interference. Try moving the dongle closer to the mouse or using a USB extender.
- Polling Rate: Ensure the polling rate is set appropriately for your system. Very high polling rates (e.g., 8K Hz) might require sufficient CPU resources.
- Software: Check the ATK HUB software for any sensor calibration options or firmware updates.
3. Buttons Not Responding
- Software Conflict: Ensure no other software is interfering with mouse button assignments.
- Reset Settings: Use the ATK HUB software to reset button assignments to default.
- Physical Check: Inspect buttons for any physical obstruction or damage.
