8. Gaming Software
Note:
All gaming software settings are transferred in real time to the SHARK ZONE M52.
8.1 Load, Reset, Save A
The "Load," "Reset" and "Save" buttons allow game profiles to be managed from any other gaming software
menu.
The "Load" button opens a previously saved game profile. Game profiles include all settings changed in the
gaming software as well as saved key settings in up to five different configurations.
"Reset" returns all current settings within the gaming software back to factory default. Stored game profiles
are not affected.
With the "Save" command, modified settings within a game profile for the M52 can be saved for later use.
An unlimited amount of game profiles can be stored on your PC. To do this, select a folder on your PC to the
location where you want to store the game profile and then give it a name. In addition, the latest game profile
is saved within the onboard memory of the SHARK ZONE M52.

8.2 Color Setting B
Within the "Color Setting" menu, the illumination on the bottom of the mouse can be switched on/off via the
"Illumination On" or "Illumination Off" button.
Adjust the brightness via the "Lighting Effect" field within three increments from 100%, 50% or 25%.
The illumination can either be permanent or pulsating, depending if the "Pulsating" field is activated or not. The
interval setting in which the illumination pulsates is adjusted by nine steps by means of a slider.
Also in this menu, the lighting color can be changed to one of the 32 different color variations.

8.3 Macro Manager C
Through the Macro Manager, record, modify and delete up to 15 macros, each with 160 button commands inclu-
ding delays. By clicking the "New" button, a new macro is created with the default name "New Macro" and conse-
cutive numbering in the adjacent drop-down list. Change the name of the currently selected macro by clicking on
the "Rename" button. The "Delete" button will remove it permanently.
If the box "Record Delay Between Keystrokes" is checked, the input breaks apply also during the recording of the
macro for that specific macro. By activating the "Set All Items Delay Time to" field, individual delays of at least 10
ms can be set. If no delay is desired, simple check the "Record No Delay" field.
Also in this field, adjust the number of loops. To do this, check the "Number of Loops" box and input the specific
number of loops desired. Maximum of 255 are possible.
Example: A macro containing the key sequence "F6, F2, 478" with three loops; the macro’s output will be the follo-
wing: F6 F2 478 F6 F2 478 F6 F2 478.
With the "Move Up" and "Move Down" buttons, a selected and previously recorded key command within the
macros can be moved around from its order in this respective direction. The "Delete" button removes a single
previously recorded key command. Under "More Options" other key sequences within the macro can be added,
copied, cropped or deleted. This function can also be accessed by right-clicking on the desired key command
within the macro.
Click "Start Recording" to record a macro. Each subsequent key command is now recorded. Pressing and releasing
a key is assessed as two commands. Pressing a key is marked with a downward arrow symbol before the entry, an
upward pointing symbol when releasing the key. Click on "Stop Recording" to end the recording.
Note:
If you leave the gaming software during the recording of a macro, the macro will continue to record in the back-
ground, resulting in the keyboard not responding to any keystrokes in other programs or windows.
Assign each macro to a mouse button through the "Button Assignment" menu (see 8.5 Button Assignment).

8.4 DPI Setting D
Set DPI steps, sensitivity, mouse acceleration and polling rate in this menu.
Four DPI steps are already preset and are activated by click-
ing on their respective button or over the DPI switch directly
on the mouse. For each of the four selectable DPI steps, the
SHARK ZONE logo on the top of the mouse illuminates brigh-
ter, regardless of the actual height of the DPI value.
Gradually adjust the four DPI steps via the
slider bar step-by-step within the ranges
of 100 to 8,200 DPI and save. To do this,
select a level and adjust the sensitivity to
the desired value using the slider. The gaming software and the DPI switch then accepts the adjusted levels.
Adjust the hortizonal and vertical sensitivity of the mouse for each level by activating the "Enable Axis Sensi-
tivity" option. After activating the option, a second slider appears below the sensitivity bar. The upper slider
controls the horizontal sensitivity; the lower slider controls the vertical. The set values are displayed within
the fields for the DPI steps in the following order: The top number represents the horizontal DPI value; the
bottom number represents the vertical DPI value. These do not
differ from each other when the "Enable Axis Sensitivity" option
is not activated.
With the "Enable Acceleration" selection field, the mouse acceleration is activated or deactivated. When the
mouse acceleration is activated, the mouse pointer moves a greater distance on the screen based on how fast
the mouse is moved.

The polling rate can be set here. It specifies the query data
between PC and mouse. The higher the Hertz (Hz) value, the
shorter the time between the two queries. The polling rate
allows four level settings:
• 125 Hz, 8 ms
• 250 Hz, 4 ms
• 500 Hz, 2 ms
• 1,000 Hz, 1 ms
8.5 Button Assignment E
Within the "Button Assignment" menu, all eight SHARK ZONE M52 mouse buttons in up to five different confi-
gurations can be programmed and then bundled together and saved in a game profile.
First select a configuration that you want to edit. Afterwards you then have the possibility to assign keys
different functions for the respective configuration. Available options are Click, Menu, Middle Button, Doub-
le-Click, Forward, Back, Macro, Advanced Commands, Basic Commands, Additional Commands, Multimedia
Commands as well as deactivate a key. Please note, at least one button must be set with the "Click" function.
In the "Advanced Commands" submenu, a key can be assigned to either increase or decrease the DPI value
with one click. It is here that the four preset DPI steps are used (see 8.4 DPI Setting). In addition, another DPI
selection can be set. With the "Configuration +" or respectively the "Configuration –" functions, the next or
previous of the five possible configurations can be cycled through. Here the mouse can also be assigned any
keyboard key (except Fn, Print and Windows key) as well as the "X-Shot" function. With help from the "X-Shot"
function, a single click from the assigned key emulates up to 255 left clicks. Also, a delay between each X-Shot
can be set of up to 255 ms.
Under "Basic Commands" and "Additional Commands," keys can be assigned Windows functions, such as "Cut"
or "Copy," for example. Under "Multimedia Commands," functions for controlling multimedia programs are
found.
