Is it possible to Drag-Click with this mouse?

Yes, the Aria XD7 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.

What is Polling Rate?

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.

 

What is Debounce Time?

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.

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.

 

Can the mouse be used with a USB hub?

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.

What is LOD? How Can I Adjust LOD?

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.

Can I use Aftermarket Mouse Skates or Mouse Feet?

Yes, you may use aftermarket mouse skates or mouse feet for Aria XD7. For Aria, we have cooperated with ESPTiger, so Tiger Arc V1 skates are available for Aria.

Are the Included Skates for Aria Good? 

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. We have also cooperated with ESPTiger to produce Tiger Arc V1 skates for Aria as well.

How can I charge the mouse’s battery?

We recommend that you only chargeAriawith 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.

Can I use the mouse without a dongle?

Yes you can! Our Fantech Aria supports Tri-mode connectivity. If you wish to use it without a dongle, the built-in BT5.0 allows it to be used without a wire, or a 2.4GHZ USB receiver.

What is Tri Mode?

Tri 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”. Our Aria also features one more mode, which is BT5.0 connectivity. This means gamers can choose from Wired, 2.4GHz Wireless and even BT5.0 to connect the mouse.

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!

 

My mouse does not charge anymore.
