Frequently Asked Questions - Fobos CoolBox

How do I connect the CoolBox Fobos mouse to my computer?

To connect the mouse, insert the USB receiver into a free USB port on your computer. Then turn on the mouse using the power switch on the bottom. The mouse will automatically pair within a few seconds. No drivers are needed for basic use.

What kind of battery does the Fobos mouse use?

The mouse uses one AA battery (not included). Open the battery compartment on the bottom, insert the battery with the correct polarity, and close the cover. The mouse will power on automatically once connected to a USB port and the switch is set to ON.

Is the Fobos mouse compatible with Mac computers?

Yes, the Fobos mouse works with macOS and Windows. Simply plug in the USB receiver, and the mouse functions without additional software. Some advanced features like DPI switching work via the dedicated button.

How do I clean the mouse?

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior and the sensor area. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or submerging the mouse in water. If the scroll wheel feels sticky, gently clean around it with a cotton swab.

Why is the cursor not moving or jumping?

First, ensure the USB receiver is firmly connected and the battery is fresh. Check that the optical sensor on the bottom is clean. If the issue persists, try moving the mouse on a non-reflective surface or use a mouse pad.

Can I adjust the sensitivity (DPI) of the mouse?

Yes, the Fobos mouse has a DPI switch button on the top. Press it to cycle through 800, 1200, and 1600 DPI settings. The current DPI level is indicated by a small LED, if available.

How do I replace the battery?

Turn the mouse over and slide the battery cover. Remove the old battery and insert a new AA battery matching the +/- markings. Replace the cover and ensure the switch is set to ON. Battery life is typically up to 12 months with normal use.

Is the mouse suitable for gaming?

The Fobos mouse is designed for everyday office and home use, but it can handle casual gaming. It offers adjustable DPI and a reliable optical sensor. For professional gaming, a dedicated gaming mouse with higher polling rate may be recommended.

What should I do if the mouse stops working after a Windows update?

Try unplugging the USB receiver, restarting your computer, and plugging it back in. If the issue continues, check Device Manager for mouse drivers and update them. You can also test the mouse on another computer to rule out hardware failure.

Can I use the mouse without the USB receiver?

The Fobos mouse uses a 2.4 GHz wireless connection that requires the USB receiver as the interface. Bluetooth is not supported. Make sure to keep the receiver in a safe place when travelling, and use the storage slot on the mouse if available.
