Keep your wireless Dark Core mouse up to date and running smoothly with the following steps.

What you'll need:

• Computer with internet connection, running the latest version of iCUE

 How to update:

1. Plug the USB dongle into your computer, preferably in the front for desktop computers
2. Connect the mouse to your computer via the USB cable
3. On the underside of the mouse, toggle the two switches to "ON" and "2.4GHz."
4. Open iCUE and click on the "Settings" menu, found in the menu bar at the top of the window
5. Click the mouse icon just underneath the menu bar
6. Click the "Update" button next to the firmware version. iCUE will detect whether your mouse is up to date and download the update file if necessary.
7. A warning button will appear after the download and installation is complete, click this to continue.
