Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, plug the USB Type-A connector into an available port on your PC or laptop. While the mouse is plug-and-play for basic functions, it is recommended to install the official Bloody software suite to calibrate the 3-core system and customize button mapping.
Compatibility: The mouse is designed for PC and laptop environments.
Care: The Metal X’Glide Armor Boot is durable but should be kept free of grit or debris to maintain its smooth glide. If the sensor starts tracking poorly, clean the optical lens with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the sensor or internal components.
