Troubleshooting
Mouse not detected by the computer
Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the mouse and the computer. Try a different USB port. Restart your computer.
Cursor movement is erratic or slow
Clean the mouse sensor on the underside using a dry, lint-free cloth. Ensure the surface you are using the mouse on is clean and not excessively reflective or dirty. Check if the mouse is set to the correct DPI if software is available, or ensure no obstructions are near the sensor.
Buttons are unresponsive
Ensure the mouse has not been submerged for extended periods beyond what is recommended for cleaning. Check for any physical obstructions around the buttons. If the issue persists after cleaning, contact support.

Ensure the mouse is properly connected and receiving power. Gently move the mouse to activate the wake-up-by-motion function. If it fails to wake, try unplugging and replugging the USB connection.
