FAQs

Dust buildup, worn feet, or outdated drivers commonly interfere with sensor performance.

Sensors are integrated into the PCB. Full mouse replacement is usually required.

Many use the same optical engines as wired models, though battery life affects polling stability.

Run the manufacturer’s mouse calibration tool or try pointer tests on a plain surface.

Not necessarily. Very high DPI can introduce jitter; choose a range that matches your workflow.
