2-2 Using M8000 Gaming mouse

Switch DPI & Obvious DPI LED indicator

You can increase or decrease the sensitivity (dpi) by pushing or pulling the Easy "Up-Down" DPI Adjustment button on the scroll wheel bar. The 4-degree LED indicator shows the current selected sensitivity.

(Users can customize default dpi degree setting with GHOST™ Engine Software tool.)

In the first-person shooter games, programming a smaller dpi tracking sensitivity (e.g., 400 dpi) for sniping and shooting is recommended. An higher setting (e.g.,2000 dpi) for quicker movements.

Switch profiles & three profile-setting-color LED Display

M8000 allows gamers to switch between customizable profiles in two ways :

1. By assigning the function to a button via the GHOST™ Engine Software.
2. By using the Quick-switch Gaming Profile button located on the top of the mouse.

When the active profile is switched, the GIGABYTE LED indicator of the mouse immediately changes the colors (including Red, Blue, and Green) to indicate the profile you selected.
