Adjusting the Obsidian Mouse’s settings
You can adjust the Obsidian Mouse's speed, pointer and scroll settings. For instance, you may
want to reduce the speed of movement of the mouse pointer when requiring increased accuracy
for very detailed documents. Likewise, the Obsidian mouse's default scroll setting may not be
sensitive enough if you need to scroll quickly through very long documents.
To adjust your mouse's settings, go to Windows Start, Settings, Control Panel, Mouse, Mouse
Properties. The following dialog box will open.
To adjust your mouse's cursor speed, click on the
Pointer Options tab. For motion adjustment, drag the
slider below "Select a pointer speed" to either the left
or right, to decrease or increase cursor speed.

Important - when first using the Obsidian mouse, ensure that each battery is charged for at
least two hours. This will ensure that the battery life is at the maximum 10 hours. When the
battery is fully charged the LEDs around the recharge station will change to a green colour.
2. Either leave the Obsidian's wireless receiver plugged into the USB port on the recharge station
or take it out of the port and plug it into another of your computer's free USB ports.
3. Insert the fully charged battery, contact side down, into the battery compartment on the
underside of the Obsidian mouse. The retaining clip will click when the battery is fully inserted
in the compartment. Place the second rechargeable battery onto the recharge station to ensure
it will be fully charged when you need to use it.
4. Once the charged battery is inserted in the mouse the lighting around the scroll area will begin
to pulse quickly to show that the mouse is establishing a wireless connection with the receiver.
When a connection has been established, the lighting will remain lit. Your Saitek Obsidian
mouse is now ready to use.
5. The lighting around the scroll area will pulse slowly when the battery needs recharging. When
this happens, slide the retaining clip on the bottom of the mouse in the direction shown and
hold the mouse up to let the battery fall into your hand. Replace with a fully charged battery by
following the instructions in step 3.
Note:
For maximum portability you can unclip the recharge station from the cradle or even take the
wireless receiver out of the USB port on the recharge station and simply insert it into one of your
computer's free USB ports.
