Sensitivity
Mouse sensitivity is an internal lter of the
driver. The maximum sensitivity setting of
10 is un ltered. Each incremental stop or
setting is a 10% decrease, i.e. 1 setting will
decrease mouse pointer input to 10% (i.e. a
linear graph).
Acceleration
Acceleration is an internal lter of the
driver, and is primarily a legacy option for
low dpi mice users. With acceleration
enabled, faster mouse movements cover
additional on-screen distance. Windows
XP has acceleration turned on by default as
a convenience for users assuming that
everyone will have 400dpi mice, but this
will likely be a hindrance to most gamers
and precision users who require greater
accuracy. The 'acceleration o ' option
(default) turns o internal acceleration only
and does not a ect Windows XP
acceleration, which can be turned o via
the Control Panel, Mouse, Pointer Options,
and unselecting 'Enhance Pointer
Precision' .

Windows Pointer Speed [Windows Only]
Pointer speed is the Windows
implementation of Sensitivity. In Windows
XP, a setting of '5' means there is no ltering
(default). This bar is included as a
convenience.
DPI switcher - Resolution
Resolution is the number of counts per inch
of movement sent by the mouse hardware to
the OS. E.g. 400dpi means a movement of
one inch will result in 400 counts of
movement. Without any of the above lters
operating, this will result in 400 pixels of
movement on the screen.
Independent X and Y-axis Settings
You can preset independent X-axis
(sensitivity movements side to side) and
Y-axis (sensitivity movements up and down).
When this feature is enabled, a new
on-the- y interface bar that allows further
sensitivity adjustments will appear
on-screen.
safety guidelines
In order to achieve maximum safety while using
your mouse, we suggest that you adopt the
following guidelines:
1. Avoid looking directly into the infrared beam of
your mouse or pointing the beam in any one
else's eye. Note that the infrared beam is NOT
visible to the naked human eye and is set on an
always-on mode.
2. Should you have trouble operating the mouse
properly and troubleshooting does not work,
unplug the device and contact the Razer hotline
or go to www.razerzone.com for support. Do not
attempt to service or x the device yourself at
any time.
3. Do not take apart the mouse (doing so will also
void your warranty) and do not attempt to
service it yourself or operate it under abnormal
current loads.
4. Keep your mouse away from liquid, humidity or
moisture. Operate your mouse only within the
specified temperature range of 0˚C(32˚F) to
40˚C(104˚F). Should you operate it in a
temperature that is beyond this range, unplug
and switch o the device in order to let the
temperature stabilize within the optimal
temperature range.
COMFORT
Here are some tips to ensure that you are comfortable
while using your mouse. Research has shown that
long periods of repetitive motion, improper
positioning of your computer peripherals, incorrect
body position, and poor habits may be associated
with physical discomfort and injury to nerves,
tendons, and muscles. Please follow these guidelines
to ensure comfortable use of your mouse and avoid
injury.
1. Position your keyboard and monitor directly in
front of you with your mouse next to it. Place
your elbows next to your side, not too far away
and your mouse within easy reach.
2. Adjust the height of your chair and table so
that the keyboard and mouse are at or below
elbow height.
3. Keep your feet well supported, posture
straight and your shoulders relaxed.
4. During gameplay, relax your wrist and keep it
straight. If you do the same tasks with your
hands repeatedly, try not to bend, extend or
twist your hands for long periods.
5. Do not rest your wrists on hard surfaces for
long periods. Use a wrist support such as
Razer's gel-filled eXactRest™ to support your
wrist while gaming.
6. Customize the buttons on your mouse to suit
your style of gaming in order to minimize
repetitive or awkward motions while gaming.
7. Make sure that your mouse ts comfortably in
your hands.
8. Do not sit in the same position all day. Get up,
step away from your desk and do exercises to
stretch your arms, shoulders, neck and legs.
9. If you should experience any physical
discomfort while using your mouse, such as
pain, numbness, or tingling in your hands,
wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck or back, please
consult a quali ed medical doctor
immediately.
