Short-press the AULA SC900 MAX's underside DPI button to cycle six steps from 400 up to 30,000. An indicator light changes colour for each: red 400, blue 800, purple 1600, green 3200, yellow 6400 and cyan 30,000. It starts at 400. Evetech sells it.
A mouse with a 30,000 DPI ceiling sounds like it needs a manual, but the AULA SC900 MAX keeps sensitivity simple: six fixed steps, one button, one colour per step. Learning its DPI steps and colour codes takes a couple of minutes, and after that you can tell at a glance what the mouse is set to and switch to the right step for a game, a spreadsheet or a photo edit.
Short-press the DPI button on the underside of the SC900 MAX to cycle through six steps from 400 to 30,000. The indicator light changes colour for each one: red for 400, blue for 800, purple for 1600, green for 3200, yellow for 6400 and cyan for 30,000. It starts at 400 out of the box. At Evetech the SC900 MAX costs R749 and comes with a 1 Year Local Warranty.
Here is the full ladder, from slowest to fastest:
Each short press moves you one step along. Note the big jump at the end: after 6400 the next step is 30,000, with nothing in between. That top step is for very large screens or extremely small hand movements, and most people will rarely use it.
Most gaming mice put the DPI button on top, behind the scroll wheel, where it is easy to reach and also easy to bump by accident mid-game. On the SC900 MAX, it lives on the base, next to the switch that picks 2.4GHz, off or Bluetooth.
The practical effect is that sensitivity changes are deliberate. You pick a step, flip the mouse back over and play, without the risk of a stray press sending you from 800 to 1600 in the middle of a fight. The trade-off is that you cannot change DPI on the fly, which is fine for players who settle on one step and tune the rest in game.
Out of the box, the SC900 MAX is at 400 DPI, shown in red. That is a low, precise setting that many shooter players keep.
Flip the mouse, short-press the DPI button until the colour matches the step you want, then turn it back over and test.
With only six steps, fine adjustments are best made in the game's own sensitivity setting or your operating system's pointer speed, rather than by moving to the next DPI step up.
DPI sets how far the cursor moves for a given hand movement. Polling rate sets how often the mouse reports its position to the PC. On the SC900 MAX, DPI is changed with the underside button, while polling is set in AULA's software, reaching 8000Hz when you play on the dongle or plugged in, up from a 1000Hz default. Bluetooth runs at 125Hz.
The two do not depend on each other, so set each one for what it does: DPI for how the cursor feels, polling for how smoothly it tracks.
If the cursor suddenly feels too fast or too slow, check the indicator colour. Red or blue means you are at the low end; cyan means you have reached the 30,000 top step, which will feel extremely fast. Keep pressing the button until your usual colour lights.
The SC900 MAX weighs 62g with its swappable 400mAh battery fitted, and comes in Black, White and Red. Set it beside other models in Evetech's gaming mice category, and use the wireless mouse page if cable-free is a must.
