FAQs
Does the M196 require a USB receiver?
No, the M196 uses Bluetooth connectivity, meaning it connects directly to your device without needing a USB dongle.
Is this mouse compatible with Chromebooks or iPads?

Troubleshooting
Mouse is not discoverable via Bluetooth
Ensure the battery is inserted correctly and the mouse is turned on; verify that your computer is in pairing mode and not connected to too many other Bluetooth peripherals.
Cursor movement is laggy or inconsistent
Clean the optical sensor with a soft cloth and ensure you are using the mouse on a flat, opaque surface; avoid glass or highly reflective surfaces.
Mouse stops responding suddenly
Check the battery level and replace the battery if necessary; toggle the mouse power switch off and on, or remove and re-add the device in your OS Bluetooth settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the mouse, ensure your device's Bluetooth is active, hold the pairing button on the bottom of the M196 until the light flashes, and select it from your computer's Bluetooth settings. The M196 is natively compatible with Windows and macOS systems, requiring no proprietary drivers. For care, keep the optical sensor lens on the bottom free of dust and debris to maintain tracking accuracy. If the cursor becomes jumpy, wipe the surface of the sensor with a dry microfiber cloth. When traveling, store the mouse in a protected compartment to avoid pressure on the click buttons.
