Troubleshooting
1. The keyboard hot-keys / mouse-keys may have an incompatible conflict with one
of the programs within OS such as certain game software. If the conflict occurred,
please disable it or try to select different function modes to operate properly.
2. Some of application software like “Vista’s device manager, cpu-z” can manage
keyboard and mouse movement during the operation causing Switch (Hot Moving
mode) reduce its moving efficiency. However, Hot Keys and Mouse Keys still
work well.
3. Switch will activate the function of Auto-Detect while you start the OS that is due
to the reset action of USB.

function for switching.
