How do I swap the button switches?

The mouse is designed to allow easy access to the switch housing. Refer to your user guide for the specific steps to open the chassis and swap the micro or optical switches.

Does the mouse work without the software?

Yes, it functions as a standard plug-and-play mouse, but you need the software to program the six buttons and customize DPI levels.

How long does a full charge last?

On a full charge, the battery can last up to 4320 hours, or approximately 180 days of typical use.

Is the charging cable standard?

Yes, the mouse utilizes a USB-C port for charging, allowing you to use most standard USB-C cables.

Troubleshooting

Cursor lag or connection drops in wireless mode

Ensure the 2.4 GHz receiver is unobstructed or try moving it to a USB port closer to the mouse; check that battery levels are sufficient.

Buttons are not performing customized actions

Ensure the latest version of the ASUS configuration software is installed and that the correct profile is active for your specific application.

Mouse not tracking on glass surfaces

Verify that the sensor lens is clean and that the surface is clear of debris or thick smudges; the MD301 is designed to track on glass, but extreme clarity or textured coatings may interfere.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your ProArt MD301, connect it to your PC using the included cable for an initial charge or plug in the 2.4 GHz RF receiver. For Bluetooth pairing, use the Pair button to cycle through devices. Installation of the official ASUS software is recommended to map your six programmable buttons and adjust DPI settings to your preference. To care for the device, avoid exposure to liquids. If the primary buttons begin to feel inconsistent over time, use the swappable switch feature to replace the internal components rather than the entire unit. Keep the optical sensor lens clean by gently wiping it with a dry, microfiber cloth to maintain tracking accuracy.
