FAQs
Does the mouse work while it is charging?
Yes, you can plug in the USB cable and continue to use the mouse in wired mode while it charges.
Can I use the mouse without installing software?
Yes, but you will need the software initially to configure your custom button mappings and DPI stages, which can then be saved to the on-board memory.
How long does a full charge take?
A full charge typically takes approximately 2-3 hours depending on the power source.
Is this mouse suitable for left-handed users?
The mouse features a right-handed ergonomic design, which may not be comfortable for left-handed users.
What is the benefit of 9K Over-Polling?
It updates the cursor position and click inputs much more frequently than standard mice, resulting in a more immediate and fluid response.
Troubleshooting
Mouse cursor movement feels erratic or jumpy
Clean the optical sensor with compressed air or a dry cloth and ensure your mousepad is clean and free of reflective surfaces.
Connection dropouts occur during intense gaming
Ensure the wireless dongle is positioned away from other heavy Wi-Fi transmitters and use the provided extension cable to move the dongle closer to the mouse.
Programmable buttons not responding in-game
Check that your custom profiles are saved to the on-board memory via the SteelSeries software and that the game settings recognize the mouse inputs.

Initial Setup: Connect the included wireless dongle to a USB port, preferably close to the mouse surface to ensure the strongest signal. Use the SteelSeries software to calibrate surface settings and update firmware.
