Clicked on network icon …and found nothing in the way of software for this mouse. Odd that it should function without showing up somewhere. Using Windows 8 which is Satan’s own OS, so not surprising.

Normally, there’s a taskbar icon in the bottom right of the screen, with network connectivity and such. Double clicking that should bring up the Mouse Software. The exact icon, I don’t know, just hover over each to see if any of them say Thermaltake or Tt eSports. You may need to expand the taskbar icons too, to find it.

Hey, thanks for the advice. Unfortunately this particular mouse doesn’t show up in control panel. Still have option of changing settings for Microsoft Mouse that is no longer connected, but not the gaming mouse. Odd, huh?

Aren’t over-glorified peripheral drivers fun? Losing basic
options among needless tabs and menus, blinding you of its purpose with
graphics. Anyway, there are a few things you can check. First is to make sure
the DPI settings are increased (I think that is found under ‘Performance’ in
the mouse settings – http://techgage.com/reviews/thermaltake/level_10_mouse/l10m_07.png).
You’ll need to drag the bar up on the left to increase it. Another thing to
check is the Windows OS System Mouse Properties. These settings are independent
of the driver settings, and are Microsoft’s software override. If using
Vista/Win7+, you can access these
settings by going to the start menu and typing ‘Mouse’ in search, and look for
Mouse under control panel.

Once inside Mouse Properties, switch to the ‘Pointer
Options’ tab and increase the pointer speed. You may also want to disable ‘Enhance
Pointer Precision’ – this is actually the opposite of what it’s name suggests,
and is in fact Mouse Acceleration, it makes small movements move a little, and
large movements move a lot. Disabling this option sets the mouse movement
one-to-one with the surface, reducing your chance of over-shooting a target.

I got one of these “mice” with my Cyberpower PC and am very disappointed with it. It’s like a small, hand held tank, and is sooooooo slow. Have tried adjusting settings to get this thing to respond properly, but no luck so far. It would have helped if the options were explained in plane English …but no. No manual with the mouse, and nothing on their website to clue me in as to how to configure this thing to perform as good as my 10 dollar microsoft mouse.
