Once complete, click “Finish”.
Restart the PC once the installation is complete. The Skiller icon will now appear in the taskbar. The software is now successfully installed.

DPI Setting A

In this menu, you can set individual DPI values simply by clicking on the bar. If certain DPI levels are not required, then deactivate it by clicking the corresponding blue button. The higher the value, the more sensitive your mouse responds.

The selected DPI level is displayed on the mouse with white LEDs.

The illumination color of the logo and mouse wheel can be set and adjusted for each DPI levels by clicking on the respective square colored field under the blue bar.

Lighting Effect B

This menu option controls the LED illumination of the Skiller SGM1.

• Brightness: The illumination brightness adjusts in five increments from 0 to 100%.
• Pulsating: The adjusted color pulsates. Set the frequency in five increments from four to eight seconds.
• Color Change: The color of the lighting changes. The frequency can be set in five increments. Please note, in this mode, DPI steps are not identified by color.

Polling Rate C

The polling rate is the query rate between PC and mouse. The higher the Hertz (Hz) value, the shorter the time between the two queries.

The polling rate allows four level settings:

• 125 Hz, 8 ms
• 250 Hz, 4 ms
• 500 Hz, 2 ms
• 1000 Hz, 1 ms

Mouse Speed D

There are eleven levels to adjust the mouse speed. The higher the value, with the same mouse movement, the faster the cursor on the screen moves.

Double-Click Speed E

In this menu, you can set how far two mouse clicks are allowed to be apart while still being recognized as a double-click. The higher the value, the faster the clicks must follow each other. The double-click speed can be adjusted in eleven increments.

Scroll Speed F

When scrolling, the mouse wheel moves the image to the selected number of rows or screen page. The standard setting is three lines. At a lower value, scrolling with the mouse wheel must be more frequent to achieve the same distance. With a higher value, less frequently.

Angle Snapping G

Angle snapping corrects uneven movements by the mouse into straight movements automatically. This is primarily beneficial in games and graphics programs. When Angle Snapping is activated, for ex-ample, it is easier to stay focused on an object without the cursor drifting by slight mouse movements.

Game Profiles H

Game Profiles is where all gaming software settings are saved. The use of multiple game profiles allows the possibility of custom con-figurations for every game or application, and allows you to quickly switch between them without having to readjust the configuration after changing the game.

To create a game profile, proceed as follows:

1. Click on “Game Profiles” in the lower left corner.
2.  Select a profile or click on “New” to create a new profile. To rename a new profile, double-click in the name field or right- click and select “Edit.”
3. Click the “X” on the top-right corner of the configuration field to close.
4. Perform the desired configurations using the options explained under section 9. Gaming Software.
5. Click on “Apply” on the bottom right to save the data in the profile.
6. The selected profile is immediately activated. To switch profiles, first click on “Game Profiles” and then the desired profile. The desired profile is now loaded. Click the “X” on the top-right corner of the configuration field to close.

Within Game Profiles, up to six profiles can be created, edited or deleted.

Additional commands are available by right-clicking on the profile:

• Delete: Delete this profile
• Edit: Allows changes to the name
• Copy: Copies the profile, so it can be used as a basis to create a similar profile
• Load: Load a saved configuration from the hard drive
• Save: Save the configuration to the hard drive

Axis Sensitivity I

Here, the axis sensitivity of the horizontal and vertical axis can be individually adjusted up to ten steps. The higher the value, the more sensitive your mouse.

Macro Manager J

Record, edit and delete macros through the Macro Manager. After clicking “New,” the software assigns the macro a name automatically within the “Select Macro” field, double-clicking the macro to rename it. Before recording a macro, you can assign the delay between keystrokes and number of loops settings.
If the box “Record delay between keystrokes” is checked, the input breaks apply also during the recording of the macro for that specific macro. Details regarding the times in milliseconds will appear within the “Keystroke Sequence.”

Also in the “Options” field, adjust the number of lo-ops. To do this, check the “Number of Loops” box and input the specific number of loops desired. Up to 255 loops are possible.
Example: A macro containing the key sequence “F6, F2, 478” with three loops; the macro’s output will be the follow: F6 F2 478 F6 F2 478 F6 F2 478.
After clicking “Start Recording” within “Options,” any subsequent keyboard inputs will recorded. Click on “Stop Recording” to end the recording.
After recording a macro, make manually adjustments within the Keystroke Sequence field. Right-click on a recorded keystroke to delete it.
Also, right-click to insert left, right, middle mouse clicks and delays. Delays are initially for 50 milliseconds; adjust this value by double-clicking on the individual delay. However, 50 milliseconds is the lo-west value possible.

Up to 12 macros can be stored within the Macro Manager. The maximum number of keystrokes is 62, plus mouse commands and delays. Please note, pressing and releasing a key represents two commands. Assign each macro to a mouse button through the “Button Assignment” menu (see 9.11 Button Assignment).

Button Assignment K

Assign every single mouse button with a function through the Button Assignment menu. Select from the following choices: Click, Menu, Scroll, Forward, Back, Double-Click, DPI Setting, Scroll Wheel Left/Right, Multimedia Commands, Basic and Additional Commands plus Assign Keyboard Key (except FN and Windows keys). In addition, it is possible to assign macros or deactivate a mouse button.

Note: The Top View screen allows you to assign the first seven buttons. With the buttons eight through twelve, switch to Side View (see 9.12 Top View and Side View).

Macros can be programmed to run once, endless loop or endless loop while the button is pressed (see 9.10 Macro Manager).

Example: A macro is assigned with a “1, 2, 3” sequence.

The following settings and outputs are possible:

• Setting: Macro runs once after pressing the button.
  Output: 123

• Setting: Macro runs endless loop until any button is pressed.
  Output: 1231231231231231231
  The output stops when the selected macro but- ton or any other button is pressed.

• Setting: Macro runs endless loop until button is released.
  Output: 12312312312312312.
  The output stops once the pressed macro key is released.

Note: Please note, with the latter two options the macro does not run to an end but rather stops by button stroke.

Top View and Side View L

By pressing “Side View” the view of the mouse will rotate. This allows the macro buttons to be visible. Like-wise, switching the view allows button assignment of the macro buttons (see 9.11 Button Assignment). Press “Top View” to restore the original view.
