FAQs
How do I change the DPI setting?
There is a dedicated DPI button on the mouse, typically located near the scroll wheel. Press this button to cycle through the available DPI settings: 500 (LOW), 1000 (MID), and 1500 (HIGH).
Is this trackball mouse suitable for gaming?
This trackball mouse features a high-performance gaming optics system sensor and switchable DPI, making it capable for some gaming applications requiring precision. However, its primary design is optimized for productivity and ergonomics, and users accustomed to traditional gaming mice may require an adjustment period.
Do I need to install software to use all the buttons?
The basic functions of the buttons will work out-of-the-box. For full customization and programming of the 8 buttons, it is recommended to download and install the ELECOM mouse assistant software, if available for your operating system.
How often do I need to clean the ball bearings?
The large artificial ruby ball bearings are designed to resist dust and dirt. Cleaning is typically only needed when you notice a degradation in performance, such as jerky cursor movement. This might be after several months of regular use, depending on your environment.
Can the buttons be programmed for specific applications?
Yes, with the ELECOM mouse assistant software, you can often assign different functions or macros to the programmable buttons on a per-application basis, enhancing workflow customization.
What are the dimensions and weight of the mouse?
The mouse dimensions are W4.5"(114.7mm) X L7.2"(181.9mm) X H2.3"(57.2mm), and it weighs approximately 9.2oz.
Troubleshooting
Cursor movement is jerky or inaccurate.
Clean the trackball and the ball bearings using the instructions in the 'Care' section. Ensure the trackball is seated correctly. Try switching DPI settings to see if it improves performance.
Buttons are not functioning as expected.
Ensure the mouse is properly connected. If you have installed the ELECOM mouse assistant software, check the button assignments within the software. Try reinstalling the software.
Device is not recognized by the computer.
Try connecting the mouse to a different USB port. Restart your computer. If the issue persists, check for any driver conflicts in your system's device manager.
