Bluetooth connection
Slide the power switch on the underside to ON. Once the
Mousetrapper is discoverable, you will see a flashing blue
light. Pair your Mousetrapper via the computer’s Bluetooth
menu. Once it is paired to the computer, the blue light will
flash rapidly and then stop flashing.
Cable connection
Connect the supplied cable to the socket on the left
side of your Mousetrapper, and connect the other end
to a USB port on the computer.
Charging
The battery in the Mousetrapper needs charging
when the battery indicator flashes red. Connect the
Mousetrapper using the supplied USB cable and allow
it to charge. During charging the LED will flash green
and turn solid green when fully charged.
Changing from Mac to PC configuration
The product is configured for PC on delivery. To configure
it for Mac, simultaneously depress the lower right and
lower left buttons (Copy and Paste) for 3–4 seconds. The
LED will flash fast in pink to confirm the setting. Repeat
the procedure to change back into PC mode. The LED
will flash slow in pink to confirm the PC mode setting.

Firmware updates
Make sure you keep your Alpha updated with the latest
firmware. To update the firmware, launch MT Keys
with the cable connected. Click the cloud in the upper
part of MT Keys and follow the instruction. During the
update process the LED will flash red and green. Do
not disconnect the cable during this process.
Scrolling
To scroll using the control pad, place your finger on the
right edge of the control pad. There is no need to press
on the control pad; simply slide your finger up or down
the edge, depending on which way you want to scroll.
Bluetooth devices
The Mousetrapper Alpha can be paired to two separate
devices at the same time. One on Channel 1 and one on
Channel 2. This means that you for instance can switch
between your computer and your smart tv or phone.
To switch between the channels press Fn and Ch.1/
F1 or Ch.2/F2 at the same time. When pairing the LED
will flash blue for Channel 1 and double flash blue for
Channel 2.
The Alpha remembers and reconnects up to four
devices. When pairing to a fifth, the oldest will be
cleared from memory.
To clear all bluetooth devices in memory press Fn and
Del at the same time. The LED will rapidly flash pink to
confirm that the memory is cleared.

MT Keys
You can customise the functions of the buttons around
the control pad as well as the keys F1 to F11. To do
this, you need to download the software MT Keys
either via www.mousetrapper.com/mtkeys or via
Microsoft Store if you have Windows 10. Then follow
the instructions to install the software. An image of
the product will appear once MT Keys is installed and
the USB cable is connected to your Mousetrapper.
Position the cursor over the button you want to
customise. Click on it by lightly pressing on the control
pad once. You will now see a pull-down menu that lets
you assign whichever action you want to that button.
You can choose between functions such as adding an
extra left-click, creating shortcuts and inserting text by
pasting it in.
