TECKNET Vertical Wireless Mouse: Volume Knob and DPI Setup

Set up your TECKNET vertical wireless mouse: pair via Bluetooth or 2.4G, use the volume knob, and adjust the 6 DPI levels with clear steps and checkpoints.

Quick answer

Charge the mouse, pair it via Bluetooth or the USB-A receiver, then use the top volume knob for media and the DPI button to cycle through six sensitivity levels. Test each DPI setting in your main app to pick the one that feels most controlled.

Why the volume knob and DPI button behave differently than you might expect

The volume knob is a dedicated media control, not a programmable scroll wheel. Turning it adjusts system volume on the connected device, but it won’t scroll documents or zoom—so keep using the main wheel for those tasks.

The DPI button cycles through six preset sensitivity levels. There is no companion software mentioned in the catalog, so you cannot create custom DPI values or reassign buttons. Choose the closest preset for your work style rather than expecting fine-grained tuning.

Pairing trade-offs: Bluetooth vs. 2.4G receiver

Bluetooth 5.0 lets you connect without using a USB-A port, which is handy for laptops with limited ports. The 2.4G receiver offers a plug-and-play connection that avoids Bluetooth pairing menus—useful on shared or older computers.

The mouse supports switching between three devices, but only one connection type is active at a time. If you pair via Bluetooth and also plug in the receiver, you must toggle between them; the mouse won’t send input to both simultaneously.

Step-by-step setup for your TECKNET vertical mouse

  1. Charge the mouse fully before first use: Connect the mouse to a USB power source using the supplied cable and let it charge until the indicator shows a full charge. Common mistake: assuming a partial charge is enough—low battery can cause pairing drops or erratic cursor movement. A full charge prevents false troubleshooting during setup.
  2. Choose your connection method: For Bluetooth, turn on the mouse and put it in pairing mode (typically by holding the Bluetooth button until the LED flashes). For 2.4G, plug the USB-A receiver into an available port. Checkpoint: the mouse should appear in your device’s Bluetooth list or be recognized instantly with the receiver. If the mouse doesn’t appear, confirm it is in pairing mode and not already connected to another device.
  3. Pair or connect to your device: On your computer, phone, or tablet, select the TECKNET mouse from the Bluetooth device list, or wait for the receiver to install automatically. Common mistake: pairing while another device is actively connected—disconnect that device first or use the one-click switch to select an empty channel. Test cursor movement immediately after pairing to confirm the connection.
  4. Set up the volume knob: Turn the volume knob clockwise to increase volume and counterclockwise to decrease it. The knob controls system volume on the connected device, not app-specific volume. Checkpoint: play a short audio clip and adjust the knob to confirm it works. If the knob does nothing, check that the correct device is selected and that system volume is not muted.
  5. Cycle through the 6 DPI levels: Press the DPI button repeatedly to step through the six sensitivity settings. Test each level by moving the cursor across the screen and clicking small targets. Common mistake: leaving the mouse at the highest DPI for precision work—it can make fine selection difficult. Pick the lowest DPI that lets you reach screen edges comfortably; that usually gives the best control.
  6. Switch between paired devices: Use the one-click multi-device button to toggle between your computer, phone, and tablet. Checkpoint: after switching, give the mouse a second to reconnect—rapid switching can cause a brief delay. Label or remember which channel corresponds to each device to avoid confusion.
