4. Polling Rate Settings
The polling rate, which determines how often the mouse reports its position to the computer, can be adjusted through the ATK software. Higher polling rates (e.g., 8K) can provide a smoother experience but may require more system resources.
Note: To utilize the 8K polling rate, you may need to use the 8K receiver and update the mouse firmware.
5. Battery Status Indicator
The LED indicator (5) on the mouse provides information about the battery level:
- Red Blinking: Battery level is below 20%. Please charge the mouse.
- Yellow/Orange Blinking: The mouse is currently charging.
- Green Solid: Charging is complete.
6. Wireless Connection Details
6.1 NearLink/Bluetooth Pairing
To pair the mouse via NearLink/Bluetooth:
- Set the power switch (11) to the 'BT' or Bluetooth position.
- Press and hold the Left Button (2), Middle Button (via Scroll Wheel, 4), and Right Button (3) simultaneously for more than 3 seconds. The indicator light will flash blue rapidly.
- On your computer or device, search for Bluetooth devices. Select the appropriate ATK mouse model (e.g., ATK X1 PRO, ATK X1 PRO MAX, ATK X1 ULTRA).
- Once successfully paired, the indicator light will turn solid blue.
Note: Long-pressing the Left, Middle, and Right buttons again will disconnect the current pairing and allow pairing with a new device.
Indicator Status for NearLink/Bluetooth:
- Pairing: Blue light flashes quickly.
- Connecting/Reconnecting: Blue light is solid.

7. 8K Receiver Usage Instructions
To use the 8K receiver for higher polling rates:
- Visit www.atk.pro to download the latest drivers and firmware.
- Connect the 8K receiver to your computer using a Type-C cable.
- Upgrade the firmware of your compatible ATK mouse to the latest version.
- Open the ATK driver software and navigate to the settings section to pair the 8K receiver with your mouse.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the pairing process.
- Once paired, the indicator light on the 8K receiver will illuminate. You can then adjust the polling rate in the mouse's performance settings within the driver software.
8K Receiver Indicator Light:
- Connection Status: The indicator light shows the mouse connection status. A solid light indicates a successful connection.
- Lighting Effects: The receiver may display various lighting effects (Constant, Breathing, Flowing, Neon, Rainbow Constant, Mixed Breathing).

8. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q1: Why is my mouse unable to pair with the 8K dongle?
- Ensure your mouse model is compatible with the 8K receiver. Download the latest driver version and upgrade the mouse firmware to the latest version before attempting to pair.
- Q2: Why does my computer lag or fail to achieve the calibrated polling rate after setting a high polling rate?
- High polling rates require sufficient CPU performance and memory frequency. Low-configured computers may experience lag or be unable to reach the preset polling rate.
- Q3: Why does my mouse battery life seem shorter after enabling the 8K polling rate?
- This is normal. A higher polling rate increases the mouse's power consumption, leading to shorter battery life.
- Q4: Can I continue using the originally bundled 2.4G receiver after pairing the 8K dongle?
- No, the 2.4G receiver will be unpaired from the mouse and cannot be used simultaneously with the 8K receiver. To switch back to the 2.4G receiver, you must re-pair it in the driver software.
