DPI adjustment

DPI Button

The hidden DPI button on the bottom of the mouse switches the DPI between 4 levels instantly. The LED will flash to indicate the current DPI level. Please refer to the table below for the more information on the DPI levels.

DPI On-The-Scroll

The DPI On-The-Scroll tuning function allows you to customize the DPI of your gaming mouse without using Armoury Crate.

1. Press and hold the DPI button for 3 seconds until the LEDs on your gaming mouse light up.
2. Rotate the scroll wheel forwards or backwards to adjust the DPI. The LED color hue on your scroll wheel will differ depending on the DPI adjustment. Move the mouse around to test until you find the best sensitivity.

NOTE:

• The DPI increments at 100 DPI per scroll forwards and decrements at 100 DPI per scroll backwards.
• The DPI ranges from 100 DPI (blue) to 36000 DPI (red).
• Tuning DPI On-The-Scroll will disable independent X-Y controls.

3. Press the DPI button again once you have finished customizing the DPI value to save the changes made.
