Main Menu

In the side panel you can access the main menu via the cog icon, in which you have a range of options.

See below a list for each setting and what it controls:

General:

1. Language: Select UI Language. Auto, will match current system language.
2. UI Scaling Factor: Adjusts how large or small the interface appears.
   
3. Automatically check for updates: Check for updates on launch, and once every 24 hours.
   
4. Show Intro on launch: Shows the introduction pop-up when the app opens.
5. Set new device as active: Makes a newly connected device the active one automatically.
   
6. Always save profiles to mouse flash: When enabled, new settings saved to the mouse are automatically saved to the mouses flash memory.
   
1. It is recommended to keep this enabled, but you can disable it if you need your flash profiles to be independent from your normal X1 profiles.
   
7. Low battery notifications: Enable or disable OS notifications for low battery.
8. Low battery threshold (%): Set the battery level at which a notification will be displayed (if enabled).
9. Release Channel: Chooses which update stream to use, such as Stable or Beta.
   
1. Stable channel receives updates after they have passed through Beta testing.
   
2. Beta channel receives updates early and more frequently. But they are still in testing so issues are more common.

Simple Mode:

1. Viewing a profile sets it as active: Viewing a profile in simple mode also sets it as the active profile on the mouse.
   
2. Always display active profile: When a new active profile is set by the mouse or by auto profile switching, display that profile in simple mode.
   
3. Show Global Profile: Display the Global Defaults profile in Simple Mode. 
   
4. Display Hints: Enable/Disable context sensitive hints in Simple Mode.
5. Background: Apply a custom background image to Simple Mode, or restore the default.
   

Expert Mode:

1. Automatically add Release outputs: When a Press output is added in Expert Mode automatically create a corresponding Release output if it does not already exist.
2. Show output list in second column: Show mappings and their output list side by side in Expert Mode.
   
3. Show Press & Release output lists: Display both the Press and Release output lists at the same time.

App Detection Settings:

1. Recheck timer (seconds): Every app switch will be rechecked 4 times per second for the chosen duration. Set to 0 to disable the recheck, or increase the duration if profile switching is getting out of sync.
2. Detect admin level apps: Enables detection of admin level apps for auto profile switching, even when the Control Panel is not run as admin. Can cause "TaskList" errors on system shutdown.
3. Enable X1 API: Allows third-party apps/scripts to send commands to the mouse. Can be used to set DPI, the active profile, RGB/OLED state, or trigger a vibration (documentation here).
4. Ignored Apps: Any app in the list below will be ignored by the auto profile switching system. Add apps here if they are causing your profile to switch when you don't want it to.
   

Experimental:

1. BTLE Override: Normally Bluetooth polling rates are limited to 133Hz. BTLE Override ignores that limit allowing higher performance over Bluetooth, at the cost of potential connection instability and higher battery usage. Switch this off if you have any connection problems over Bluetooth.

Battery Info

If the currently active mouse has a battery, it's level will be displayed here.

Mouse Info

Under this menu, you have configuration settings as pictured, along with quick access to changing between multiple Swiftpoint devices.

1. Mouse Memory Usage: This gauge shows how much of your mouse's on-board memory your current profiles are using. If this passes 100% you will need to delete some profiles or mappings before you can save your settings to your mouse.
2. Calibrate Force Sensors: Allows you to re-calibrate deep click on the main and fingertip buttons. 
3. Calibrate Tilt Sensor: Calibrates the Z's tilt sensor to your desk, for more stable tilt inputs.
   
4. Set as Active Device: If multiple supported devices are connected, they will be displayed and the bottom of the list. Where you can select which one should be active.

Receiver Info

Shows the status of currently connected SwiftLink Receivers, and allows clearing and creating new pairings.
