Troubleshooting

Mouse is not detected by the computer.

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected or the wireless receiver is properly plugged in. Try a different USB port. If using wireless, check that the mouse is powered on and in the correct mode (2.4 GHz or Bluetooth). For Bluetooth, ensure it's paired correctly.

Wireless connection is intermittent or lags.

Ensure the mouse is within the wireless range (up to 10 meters). Reduce interference from other wireless devices or physical obstructions. Try switching to wired mode to see if the issue persists. Ensure the battery is adequately charged.

Buttons are not responding or acting erratically.

Check if the buttons are assigned correctly in the software. Ensure the mouse is clean and free from debris around the buttons. Restart the mouse and computer. If the issue persists, contact support as the switches may be faulty.

Cursor movement is jumpy or inaccurate.

Ensure the mouse surface is clean and suitable for optical sensors (avoid reflective or uneven surfaces). Clean the mouse sensor lens on the underside. Adjust DPI settings in the software. Try different connectivity modes.

Software settings are not saving or applying.

Make sure you are running the latest version of the Genesis software. Ensure the mouse is properly connected and recognized by the software. Save your settings explicitly within the software. Check if the mouse has built-in memory and if your profile is loaded correctly.
