Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation: Plug the mouse into a USB Type-A port on your PC. Download the latest Corsair configuration software to manage macros, lighting, and sensor settings.

Compatibility: Fully compatible with Windows 7, 8, and 10. No special drivers are required for basic functionality, though software is recommended for full feature access.
