Troubleshooting
The mouse is not connecting to the computer
Ensure the battery is fresh and correctly oriented. Confirm that Bluetooth is enabled on your PC and try removing the device from your 'Bluetooth & devices' list before re-pairing it.
Cursor movement feels jerky or skips
Clean the optical sensor on the bottom of the mouse with a dry cloth and ensure you are not using the mouse on a glass or highly reflective surface.
The mouse becomes unresponsive randomly

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your device, insert the included AA alkaline battery into the compartment on the underside of the mouse. Ensure the device is switched on. On your Windows 10 or 11 computer, the Swift Pair notification should appear automatically if Bluetooth is enabled. If it does not, hold the pairing button on the mouse until the LED flashes to put it into discovery mode, then add it via your PC's Bluetooth settings menu.
Compatibility is focused on modern Windows environments (Windows 8.1, 10, and 11). For care, keep the optical sensor lens on the bottom free of dust and debris by gently wiping it with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or harsh chemicals on the plastic shell to avoid damaging the finish.
