Software
A point not to be overlooked
Software is an important part of using a mouse; it’s the icing on the cake for a smooth and complete experience. And Hator has clearly understood this. So, what’s interesting?
Basic menu
When you launch the software, you can choose the language. You’ll see a reminder of the mouse model, accompanied by an image. The software also indicates whether the mouse is in wired or wireless mode.
The first menu allows you to configure the various buttons. For this test, we will leave their default assignments. You can also load and save up to 4 different configuration profiles. This can be very handy if, for example, you switch between multiple settings depending on your usage. You will notice the battery icon in the top right corner, which indicates the charge level.
The second menu allows you to adjust the DPI levels. You can customize up to 6 levels, or choose to use just one. You can then switch between these levels via the software or directly using the button built into the mouse. An LED located on the front of the mouse, behind the scroll wheel, will indicate the selected DPI level through its color. This menu also controls the polling rate, which can go up to 8000Hz in wireless mode.
The third menu concerns assigning shortcuts and macros. We won’t be using them in this test, but having the option is a good thing and will appeal to some users.
The last tab is more general, allowing you to check the firmware version and access a few other settings. Your mouse’s firmware will update automatically when the software launches.
