The Corsair Harpoon Wireless Mouse supports Bluetooth, which is useful for laptops, tablets, and devices without a USB dongle. However, pairing may fail if the mouse is not put into pairing mode correctly or if the computer’s Bluetooth settings are misconfigured.

Solution

You can connect the Corsair Harpoon to your device via Bluetooth by enabling pairing mode on the mouse and selecting it from your device’s Bluetooth settings menu.

  1. Make sure the mouse is charged or connected with the USB cable for power.
  2. Turn the mouse over and move the switch to Bluetooth mode (BT).
  3. Press and hold the Bluetooth pairing button until the indicator light flashes, showing it’s ready to pair.
