## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is i have apex pro tkl can i use same dongle to connect or do i need them all to have own dongle?**
A: I'm pretty sure you have to use their own dongles

**Q: what about sensitivity in this mouse?**
A: I didn't have a problem with it but I switched to the corsair Sabre pro champion series mouse. Better in my opinion.

**Q: I have an aerox 3 wireless how does this compare to that is it worth the upgrade or is it a downgrade?**
A: Only difference is it has more buttons than the aerox 3 and less than the aerox 9.

**Q: Is the dpi button easier to reach than the rival 600 was?**
A: I’ve always forced my mouse to use only one dpi setting at 800. Depends on your hand I guess. For me I feel like my index finger has to struggle a little bit to have to push it which is why I never bothered.
