Calibration of Lift Off Sensor
The Rival 600 features a secondary, high-precision lift-off sensor that requires calibration to your specific gaming surface for maximum accuracy. By default, the lift-off distance is set to ≤ 1.0 mm, with further adjustments available through SteelSeries Engine.
Calibration Methods:
- Automatic: The lift-off sensor calibrates automatically each time the mouse powers on (e.g., when the USB cable is plugged in).
- Manual: If you change gaming surfaces, recalibration is recommended. To manually calibrate, hold down the CPI button (04) for two seconds. The Rival 600 will flash white three times upon completion.
Diagram Description: A diagram shows the mouse with the CPI button highlighted, indicating its role in manual calibration.
