There is a dedicated DPI switch button, typically located near the scroll wheel, that allows you to cycle through the 800, 1200, and 1600 DPI settings.
Does this mouse work with Mac or Linux operating systems?
The product specifications indicate compatibility with Windows operating systems. While it may function with other OS, full compatibility and support are not guaranteed.
How long does the battery typically last?
Battery life varies depending on usage patterns and the quality of the AAA batteries used. The power-saving mode helps to extend battery life by automatically turning off the mouse after 8 minutes of inactivity.

Can the thumb buttons be customized?
The description mentions added next/previous buttons for convenience, but does not specify if they are programmable or customizable.
Troubleshooting
Mouse is not moving the cursor.
Ensure the mouse is powered on by checking the battery orientation. Verify the USB receiver is securely plugged into the computer. Try a different USB port. Make sure the mouse is within the effective wireless range of the receiver.
Buttons are not responding.
Check battery power and replace if necessary. Ensure the USB receiver is properly connected. Restart your computer to refresh the connection.
Cursor movement is erratic or slow.
Adjust the DPI setting using the dedicated button. Ensure the mouse's optical sensor is clean and free from dust or debris. Use the mouse on a suitable surface; avoid reflective or uneven surfaces.
Mouse disconnects intermittently.
Check battery levels; low batteries can cause intermittent connectivity. Ensure there are no significant obstructions or strong wireless interference between the mouse and the USB receiver. Try plugging the receiver into a USB port closer to the mouse if possible.
