Frequently Asked Questions - GAMING MOUSE SAITEK

How to install the SAITEK Gaming Mouse?
Before connecting the mouse, insert the provided CD-ROM and follow the installation program instructions. Once the installation is complete, connect the mouse to a USB port. For Windows XP, connect it after installation. Keep your old PS/2 mouse as backup.
How to switch from 800 to 1600 DPI?
Press the Turbo button on the mouse. It lights up to indicate 1600 DPI mode. Press again to return to 800 DPI.
The extra buttons do not work, what to do?
Make sure the software driver is installed. The 4th and 5th buttons require Windows 2000 or XP. For the 6th and 7th buttons, an additional driver (sold with the product) is required. Also check the USB connection.
How to program a macro?
Open the Game Buttons menu via the taskbar icon, click Mouse Configuration, then the Macros tab. Select a macro (1 to 8), click Start Recording, perform the desired actions, then stop the recording and save the macro.
Why does the mouse not work on a glass surface?
The optical mouse requires a light-colored, smooth surface for optimal tracking. Reflective surfaces (glass, mirror) interfere with the sensor. Use a suitable mouse pad.
How to use the 'Stay Online' function?
Program a button or the wheel with the Stay Online function (function 62). When you press this button, the mouse performs automatic movements to avoid inactivity. To stop, press the same button again.
Can I use this mouse with a Mac?
The manual indicates compatibility only with Windows (98SE/2000/ME/XP). Advanced functions (programmable buttons, macros) require the Windows driver. On Mac, only standard functions (left/right button, scroll wheel) may work, without guarantee.
How to reset saved macros?
Click the Game Buttons icon in the taskbar, then select Reset Used Commands. This will erase all saved macros.
Does the scroll wheel scroll horizontally?
Yes, if the Enable Dual Virtual Wheel option is checked in the mouse properties. Hold down the Ctrl key while turning the wheel for horizontal scrolling, or program a button for this function.
What to do if the mouse is not detected?
Check that the cable is properly connected to a USB port. Make sure the USB port is enabled in the BIOS. Test the mouse on another computer. If the problem persists, contact Saitek technical support with your proof of purchase.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Some experts believe that using any mouse or trackball may cause serious injury to hands, wrists, arms, neck, or back. If you feel pain, numbness, or weakness in these areas, please consult a qualified health professional immediately.

To reduce the risk of injury, please follow these precautions:

Take frequent breaks, get up and walk around several times every hour.
- Vary your tasks throughout the day.
- Keep your shoulders relaxed with your elbows at your side. Position your keyboard and mouse so you do not have to reach.
- Adjust your chair and keyboard so your upper arms and wrists are straight.
- Avoid resting your wrists on sharp edges.

Please note that the Saitek Gaming Mouse will not function correctly on a glass or mirror surface. For best results we strongly recommended that you use your Gaming Mouse on a bright surface with a smooth texture.
