Yes, the Fantech Helios XD3 is an excellent mouse for drag clicking. However, this technique depends on the skill of the user, and their proficiency. It should be noted that drag clicking causes the mouse switches to lose their durability much faster.

Polling rate is the frequency at which the mouse position is transmitted to the PC. A higher frequency means the position of the mouse will be transmitted more often. Essentially, a high polling rate means for a higher accuracy in fast paced situations.

Debounce time is the amount of time that must pass before the second press of the switch will be registered. In other words, debounce time is the minimum time between switch presses. In some occasions, a low debounce time can be beneficial for gamers, as they could spam inputs for a competitive advantage. This is most notable for Minecraft, and mods like bed wars.

Our Fantech software allows you to customize settings such as scrolling speed, DPI, RGB lighting, macros and more. In some models, advanced settings like polling rate, angle snapping, and debounce time can be set too.

By default, the standard DPI on Helios XD3 is: 400, 800, 1200, 2400, 3200, 6400, and 16000, with the active default being 800 DPI. DPI is the abbreviation for “dots per inch” and indicates how many points are covered on the screen per inch moved on the mouse pad. A higher DPI means for faster movements.

Yes, in our software, LMB and RMB can be re-programmed. However, please note that since these functions are essential for using a computer,Since left and right click are existential functions of a mouse, the functions must always be assigned. To reassign or re-program them, the LMB and RMB functionality will need to be reassigned to other buttons beforehand.

A damp towel can be used to clean the mouse. Be sure to not use soap or other detergents as these can damage the paint or rubberized coating. When using a damp towel, make sure it isn’t too wet, as to avoid damaging the electronic components inside the mouse.

While a gaming mouse, as it is USB, can be connected to a USB hub, we generally suggest not to do this. This is due to how a USB hub doesn’t provide a direct connection between the mouse and the computer. To ensure a stable and precise communication between your mouse and the computer, it is important to directly connect it, as to avoid errors in the signal.

Our gaming mice are generally able to be used without the Fantech Software. However, installing the Fantech Software is recommended as it will allow you to further customize the settings of the mouse. In order to get the best experience with the product, we suggest using the software and installing any firmware update that is available.

If Windows doesn’t recognize your mouse, please follow these steps. First, ensure that the mouse is connected properly. It can be incredibly useful to try different USB ports to ensure that one of them is not causing the issue. If the mouse is still not being recognized, please contact our support team.

If you have any troubles with the firmware update of a Fantech product, we suggest to follow these steps: First, try downloading the driver again as internet issues may cause an incomplete download. If this doesn’t fix the issue, please try restarting your computer and using a different USB port. If these steps don’t help, please contact our dedicated support team for help.

In this case, it is possible that mouse acceleration has been enabled within the software or within Windows. To enable it, simply open your software and look for the “Mouse Acceleration” feature, or type in “Mouse Settings” in the Windows Start Menu, and then click on “Additional Mouse Option”, and then select “Pointer Options”. Within this sub-menu, make sure there is no check mark next to ‘Enhance Pointer Precision”.

All settings such as button assignments, DPI and more are saved within onboard memory. However, in some cases, lighting and other settings may not be depending on the model of the mouse.

Modifying or disassembling our products may void your warranty in some cases. If you wish to modify your product, please be sure to contact our customer support first to avoid any future problems with warranty. Any attempt to modify or disassemble the mouse is done at the owner’s own risk.

Currently, all of our mice use a 2D mouse wheel. Therefore, they can only be scrolled up and down.

Also known as “Lift-Off Distance”, refers to the distance at which the sensor on your gaming mouse stops tracking mouse movements. This is important during gaming, as you will need to frequently pick up your mouse to reposition it on the mouse pad. With a high LOD, the sensor will keep tracking while you’re repositioning, which will cause your tracking to be inaccurate.

To change the LOD on your Helios XD3, make sure to download the software, and adjust the millimeter amount in the section for LOD within.

Yes, you may use aftermarket mouse skates or mouse feet if they exist for the mouse. Please keep in mind that our stock skates are generally made with pure PTFE, unless otherwise specified.

The included mouse skates are made of pure PTFE, and will need to be “broken in” for users to experience the full performance. Typically, after a few gaming sessions, the skates will be a little more slippery than out of the box. This is normal and is the intended design of the mouse skate to ensure it can be properly transported without falling off of the mouse.

For simplicity, the Helios XD3V2 can be seen as the wireless version of the UX3V2. Both mice feature our well-known bin of Kailh GM8.0 switches, as well as minimized logo and RGB.

Fantech XD3V2 features the Pixart 3370 sensor with adjustable LOD and debounce time, while UX3V2 features the Pixart 3389 sensor with adjustable LOD and debounce as well.

For more complete details, please see this in-depth article: https://fantechworld.com/ux3v2-vs-xd3v2/

Fantech Helios UX3V2 is an ambidextrous mouse, with an S2 shape which has been tweaked for modernization and comfort.

To pair the Helios XD3 wirelessly to your PC, simply plug the USB dongle into a USB port on your computer, and then use the switch on the bottom of the mouse to switch it into wireless mode. After doing so, you may need to wait a little for the drivers to be installed by Windows.

We recommend that you only charge Helios XD3 with the supplied USB cable, and by plugging it into charge into your PC. Although it is possible, we recommend never using a phone charger or USB wall charger to charge your mouse. In some cases, high voltages and amperage from these wall chargers may damage your gaming mouse. Such damages are not covered by warranty, which is why we explicitly suggest charging the mouse with the supplied cable and by directly connecting it to your PC.

The Helios XD3 is not a Bluetooth mouse, and therefore requires the USB 2.4ghz dongle to connect to the computer for wireless connectivity. If you wish to use the mouse in wired mode, please use the supplied USB cable to connect it.

Dual mode refers to the mouse being able to be connected wirelessly as well as through the supplied USB cable. This is the technical term for the fact that the mouse can be used while it is charging, as well as wirelessly when not charging. Another name for this is “Play and Charge”.

For gamers, this is a sure way to stay in the game without having to wait for the gaming product to charge. More gaming, less waiting!

Fantech Helios XD3 isn’t compatible with S2 skates due to the manufacturing process and USB receiver holder location. If you wish to use aftermarket skates on your Helios XD3, we would suggest using PTFE dots.

Firstly, we suggest ensuring that the USB cable is correctly connected to the computer, and to the mouse. If the mouse still does not charge, please try to use it on another device. Lastly, try the mouse in a different USB port on your computer, or an entirely different computer. If these solutions don’t fix the problem, please contact our dedicated customer support team for further help.
