Software

This particular mouse does take advantage of software, both drivers and a program you can install that has some simple features. It has drivers that come on the mouse and install relatively quickly after plugging it into your USB slot. The USB by the way is gold plated, not that it gives any added benefits.

The software for the mouse is very simple and easy to obtain. You can find it on the product page at Gigabyte’s website and it comes as an executable in a zip folder. Once the executable is installed the program can be run from your desktop. All of the buttons on the mouse besides left click are customizable. You can select from a list of simple commands such as cut and paste, volume control, and even the ability to close the current window. You can also select the option to set any of the buttons to a key bind. When key bind is selected it will let you hit the key on your keyboard that you want the mouse button to represent. If you mess something up or you want to change all of the buttons back to stock settings, there is a default button that resets all of the entries.

The other half of the software is labeled sensitivity. In this section you can customize the on the fly DPI settings that the mouse has. Each setting (Low, Medium, and High) can be selected and altered individually. These settings aren’t bound by any rules, so your low setting can be the highest actual DPI if you are the type of person that wants to watch the world burn. Again there is a button that says default that is supposed to set the DPI settings back to stock, but I couldn’t get this default button to work. It would act like it was changing the settings, and change the numbers on display, but if you change your DPI on the fly again, they aren’t actually different. The only way I found to restore them was to set them all back manually.
