I have lost/broken the USB receiver (dongle). Can I receive a new USB-receiver?

It is not possible to provide a replacement receiver for this product.
This is because during production the product and the Nano USB receiver (dongle) are assigned a unique code, so the product can only communicate with the bundled original receiver. This production process is also performed for security reasons.

I just bought it and cannot find the USB receiver. Where is it?

The USB receiver is stored inside the battery compartment of the mouse. The special receiver storage compartment is located there so you can always store the dongle safely when not in use to prevent damage or loss.

The mouse arrow shakes, moves strangely or does not move at all. What can I do?

1. Use a mousepad or a piece of paper to check if the surface may be the reason.
2. Try using the mouse on a different surface.
3. Clean the sensor on the bottom of the mouse with a dry cloth.

The mouse shows irregular failures during usage?

1. Move other active wireless devices away from the mouse and the USB receiver.
