How do I update my Pen-grip mouses firmware using Android?
If you have access to a macOS 10.13+ or Windows 10 PC with Bluetooth we recommend using the Swiftpoint Control Panel to perform firmware updates.
As the Control Panel process is much simpler than using this method, especially if your mouse has already been updated to v1.05+.
Firmware updates can also now be performed via our
iPad app.
If you don't have another Windows/Mac PC, or an iPad to try the
update from it can also be done via any Android device (phone or tablet)
using the "
Device Firmware Update" app made by "Noridic Semiconductor". You can find this on the play store or via the link below.
To
use this method you'll need the two files attached to this article below.
Start by launching the app on your Android device then select the
bootloader file "PGFW-Part1.zip". Next you need to put the
mouse into firmware update mode select it as the target device, then
press start to proceed.
Details on how to put the mouse into update mode can be found
here.
When
that upgrade completes, exit the app and re-launch it, then perform the
same process again with the PGFW-Part2_1_36.zip. This time your ProPoint
will appear as "P3Update".

After you have uploaded PGFW-Part2_1_36.zip to your mouse the process in complete.
In most cases your mouse Bluetooth and USB pairings will have been maintained during the update. So to begin using it again just switch your mouse off, then back on again.
If you mouse does not reconnect over Bluetooth, or with its USB receiver remove any old Bluetooth pairings then recreate them with the normal pairing process.
