How to use

Connect the mouse to an available USB port on your computer and allow the operating system to recognize the device. No additional driver installation is typically required for basic functionality. Place the mouse on a flat surface or mouse pad for optimal tracking and move it to control the pointer. Use the left and right buttons for primary and secondary clicks and the scroll wheel for vertical navigation and middle-click actions where supported.

Recommendations

For best tracking and longevity, use the mouse on a clean, low-friction mouse pad and avoid spills or exposure to extreme temperatures. If you experience cursor jitter, try a different USB port or clean the optical sensor area with compressed air. For gaming, pair the mouse with a stable USB connection and adjust in-game sensitivity settings rather than changing physical DPI if no dedicated DPI button is present.
