Tips

Weight and balance tuning is very much an exercise in personal preference Generally speaking, more weight makes it easier to control high DPI settings, while less weight makes low-DPI gaming less fatiguing Centering weights along an imaginary line between your thumb and right-side grip finger(s) will help maintain optimal front-to-back balance.
The effects of changing weights may not be immediately apparent After changing the position or number of weights, give yourself some time to experience the difference before changing them again.
Try the default profile settings in practice games before changing these settings.
Advanced gamers can customize each game according to their specific button configuration and sensitivity switching needs The Logitech Gaming Software stores this information and applies it automatically when the game is detected.

If the mouse doesn’t work

Unplug and re-plug the USB cable to ensure a good connection
Try the mouse USB cable in another USB port on the computer
Use only a powered USB port
Try rebooting the computer
If possible, test the mouse on another computer
