Troubleshooting
Keyboard or mouse is not responding
Ensure batteries are correctly inserted and charged. Check that the USB dongle is securely plugged into the computer. Try a different USB port. Verify the power switches on both devices are turned on. Test within the 10m wireless range.
Intermittent connection or lag
Minimize wireless interference by moving the USB dongle closer to the keyboard/mouse or using a USB extension cable. Ensure there are no large metal objects between the devices and the dongle. Check battery levels, as low power can affect performance.
Mouse cursor movement is erratic
Clean the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse with a dry cotton swab. Ensure you are using the mouse on a suitable surface (avoid glossy or uneven surfaces). Check mouse DPI settings if applicable (though this model has a fixed DPI).
Keys are not registering or are sticky
Check for debris lodged between the keys. If keys feel sticky, clean gently with a soft brush or compressed air. Ensure batteries are not low, as this can sometimes affect key registration.
