Mouse Report Rate
Mouse Report Rate is the term that how many times the mouse sends data to the computer in one second.
For instance, "Report Rate 500Hz" means "the mouse sends 500 times of data to the computer in one second".
G9 16-in-1 offers 3 report rates, e.g., 125Hz, 250Hz and 500Hz respectively. The higher times stands for the
smoother the cursor movement and precise click response, especially suitable for game play, which requires
high speed and quick response. (For a conventional mouse, the report rate is 125Hz).
According to various applications, the bandwidth is divided into 3 report rate levels:
1X Speed: USB report rate is 125Hz, suitable for office and general users, power consumption is the lowest.
2X Speed: USB report rate is 250Hz, suitable for CAD users, power consumption is normal.
4X Speed: USB report rate is 500Hz, suitable for heavy-duty game players, power consumption is high.

3). 4-Way Wheel
Step 1: Right-click on the icon " " at the right-down corner of your system tray and select "4-way Wheel".
Step 2: See instructions on the popped 4-way Wheel window to learn on how to execute vertical and
horizontal scrolling.

12
A. The 4-way Wheel is the latest scrolling technology. It splits working screen into 2 areas, A and B as shown.
Depending on cursor position, the wheel will perform vertical or horizontal scrolling. For instance, when the
cursor locates within A area, the wheel will perform vertical scrolling, and when the cursor locates within B
area, the wheel will perform horizontal scrolling. It saves tremendous works instead of pulling the scrollbars,
especially when working with Excel spreadsheet.
B. In practice, you may click and move the Red split icon to change the ratio of A and B areas. You may
perform Vertical and Horizontal scrolling by just moving the cursor in and out of A or B areas, which saves a lot
of efforts than pulling Windows’ scrollbars!
Note: If the option of "Normal Wheel" is selected, the wheel will perform as a normal mouse wheel, and “4-
way Wheel” function won't be launched.

best improvements.
Detect Receiving Signal Level:
Moving the mouse, the indicator will display current signal level. The less
level value means the better receiving signal, value under 120 means the
devices are working in good condition. The value may increase when

16
Suggest Improvements:
1. Use a USB extension cable for the receiver and keep it away from the
computer or any interfering sources. It is highly recommended to use it for
the long range meeting venue or when there is strong wireless conflict
nearby.
2. Plug receiver on the same side with the mouse, it may avoid potential
wireless conflicts from the notebook computer.
