FAQs

Is the CHERRY AK-PMH3 truly waterproof?

Yes, the mouse is rated IP68, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. It is designed to be sprayed, wiped, and even cleaned under running water.

How do I clean the AK-PMH3 mouse?

You can wipe it with a damp cloth or a mild disinfectant wipe. For a deeper clean, it can be rinsed under running water. Always ensure it is dried thoroughly before use.

What is the 'scroll sensor' and how does it work?

Instead of a physical scroll wheel, the AK-PMH3 uses a touch-sensitive sensor. It registers the same up-and-down movements as a traditional scroll wheel, allowing for intuitive scrolling without the crevices found in mechanical wheels, which helps reduce germ accumulation.

Can I use this mouse on any surface?

The mouse features a blue light sensor that provides precise and smooth cursor control, even on glossy surfaces, which are often problematic for standard optical mice.

Is the mouse suitable for left-handed users?

Yes, the AK-PMH3 has an ambidextrous design, making it comfortable and suitable for both right-handed and left-handed users.

What is the DPI of the mouse?

The mouse has a movement resolution of 1000 DPI, providing a good balance of speed and precision for general office and medical tasks.

Does this mouse require special drivers?

No, the CHERRY AK-PMH3 is a Plug and Play device and typically does not require special drivers for basic functionality on most operating systems.

Troubleshooting

Mouse not recognized by 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

Check the mouse's optical sensor on the underside for dust or debris and clean it gently with a dry cloth or compressed air. Ensure the surface beneath the mouse is clean and suitable for optical tracking.

Touch scroll sensor is not responding

Ensure the sensor area is clean and dry. If the issue persists, restart your computer. For persistent issues, contact customer support.

Buttons are unresponsive

Verify the USB connection. If a button is consistently unresponsive, it may indicate a hardware issue. Contact customer support.
