What should I do if the mouse is not working?

9.1 DPI Setting A

In this menu, you can set individual DPI values simply by clicking on the bar. If certain steps are not required, then deactivate it by clicking the corresponding yellow button. The higher the value, the more sensitive your mouse responds.

9.2 Polling Rate B

The polling rate is the query rate between PC and mouse. The higher the Hertz (Hz) value, the shorter the time between the two queries. The polling rate allows four increment settings:

■ 125 Hz, 8 ms
■ 250 Hz, 4 ms
■ 500 Hz, 2 ms
■ 1000 Hz, 1 ms

9.3 Mouse Speed C

There are 11 increments to the adjustment of the mouse speed. The higher the value, with the same mouse movement, the faster the cursor on the screen moves.

9.4 Double-Click Speed D

In this menu, you can set how far two clicks are allowed to be apart while still being recognized as a double-click. The higher the value, the faster the clicks must follow each other. The double-click speed can be adjusted by 11 levels.

9.5 Scroll Speed E

When scrolling, the mouse wheel moves the image to the selected number of rows or screen page. The standard setting is three lines. At a lower value, scrolling with the mouse wheel must be more frequent to achieve the same distance. With a higher value, less frequently.

9.6 Angle Snapping F

Angle snapping corrects uneven movements by the mouse into straight movements automatically. This is primarily beneficial in games and graphics programs. For example, the higher the value, the easier it is to keep focus on a pixel object without the cursor drifting off by slight movements. Angle snapping can be adjusted up to 10 different increments. The higher the level, the stronger the effect.

Macros can be recorded, edited and deleted through the Macro Manager. After clicking "New," the software automatically assigns the macro a name within the "Select Macro" field, double-click the macro to rename it. Before recording a macro, you can assign the delay between keystrokes and number of loops settings.

If the box “Record delay between keystrokes” is checked, the input breaks apply also during the recording of the macro for that specific macro. Details regarding the times in milliseconds will appear within the “Keystroke Sequence.”

Also in the "Options" field, the number of loops can be adjusted. To do this, check the "Number of Loops" box and input the specific number of loops desired. Up to 255 loops are possible.

↑

Example: A macro containing the key sequence "F6, F2, 478" with three loops; the macro's output will be the following: F6 F2 478 F6 F2 478 F6 F2 478.

After clicking "Start Recording" within "Options," any subsequent keyboard inputs will be recorded. Click on "Stop Recording" to end the recording.

After recording a macro, manual adjustments are made within the Keystroke Sequence field. Right-click on a recorded keystroke to delete it. Also, right-click to insert left, right, middle mouse clicks and delays. Delays are initially for 50 milliseconds; this value can be adjusted by double- clicking on the individual delay. However, 50 milliseconds is the lowest value possible.

Up to 12 macros can be stored within the Macro Manager. The maximum number of keystrokes is 62, plus mouse commands and delays. Please note, pressing and releasing a key represents two commands. Each macro can be assigned to a mouse button through the "Button Assignment" menu (see 9.10 Button Assignment).
