Learn how to pair your TECKNET Strike GM001, set the six DPI levels, and configure buttons for smoother aiming in games and everyday work.
Quick answer
Pair the TECKNET Strike GM001 in 2.4G wireless mode, then use the onboard DPI button to cycle through the six preset levels and set your preferred sensitivity. For button customization, install TECKNET's software if available for your model; otherwise, use the mouse's built-in controls.
Why the GM001's dual-mode design changes your setup order
The Strike GM001 offers both 2.4G wireless and USB-C wired connections, with a 1ms response rate in wired mode. That flexibility is useful, but it means you should decide which mode you'll use most before you start tweaking DPI and buttons. Pairing in wireless mode first ensures the mouse is charged and connected before you make changes that rely on onboard memory.
If you plan to switch between modes often, set your DPI levels while in wired mode, then unplug and verify they persist wirelessly. The onboard DPI memory should keep your settings, but confirming this early avoids surprises mid-game.
When button remapping isn't available
The GM001's catalog information lists customizable RGB lighting and six DPI levels, but it does not mention dedicated software or onboard button remapping. If you need to reassign side buttons or create macros, check TECKNET's support page for your specific model before buying. Without confirmed software, treat the side buttons as fixed forward/back buttons and rely on in-game settings for other actions.
Step-by-step GM001 setup
- Charge the mouse: Connect the GM001 to a USB port using the supplied USB-C cable and charge it fully before first wireless use. A common mistake is pairing with a low battery, which can cause intermittent connection. Check the battery indicator (if present) or charge for at least 2 hours before pairing.
- Pair in 2.4G wireless mode: Plug the 2.4G USB receiver into a free USB port on your computer. Turn the mouse on using the power switch on the bottom. The mouse should connect automatically within a few seconds. If it doesn't, try a different USB port or reinsert the receiver. Keep the receiver in a direct line of sight to the mouse and within 10 meters for a stable connection.
- Set your DPI levels: Press the DPI button (usually on top or bottom) to cycle through the six preset levels (800, 1600, 2400, 3200, 4800, 8000 DPI). The LED indicator will blink to show the current level. Choose a level that feels comfortable for your main game or task. Start at 1600 DPI for general use and increase only if you need faster cursor movement.
- Verify onboard memory: After setting your DPI, turn the mouse off and on again. The mouse should return to your last-used DPI level. If it resets to default, your onboard memory may not be saving; try setting DPI while in wired mode, then test wirelessly. If settings don't persist, contact TECKNET support to confirm onboard memory behavior for your unit.
- Configure buttons (if software is available): Visit TECKNET's official website and search for GM001 software or driver downloads. If available, install it to remap buttons, adjust RGB lighting, and create profiles. If no software is listed, use in-game settings to assign actions to mouse buttons. Without confirmed software, avoid relying on side buttons for critical macros.
- Test in wired mode for competitive play: For the lowest latency, connect the USB-C cable and switch the mouse to wired mode. The 1ms response rate can make a noticeable difference in fast-paced games. Remember to switch back to wireless for everyday use if you prefer fewer cables. Use wired mode when every millisecond counts, but keep the cable handy for charging.
