The Anker 8200 is an odd mix of comfort and discomfort. The mouse feels like a team of designers were determined to balance every useful feature with one that was equally unhelpful. Take, for example, the rests for the thumb and two outermost fingers.

That said, the buttons are also a significant source of grief. The Anker 8200 offers nine programmable buttons, plus a nonprogrammable one on the bottom of the mouse. Users can select commands of their choice for the left and right mouse buttons, the clickable scroll wheel, three thumb buttons, one button above the scroll wheel and two buttons below it.
One of the biggest problems with the Anker 8200's predecessor, the Anker 5000, was its ugly, inefficient software. While the Anker 8200 has better software, it's still woefully inadequate compared to other modern gaming-mouse programs. In some ways, the program has even taken steps backward.
What brings the Anker 8200's software down is its dearth of profile options. The mouse can hold only two profiles at a time. Beyond that, you'll have to save and load profiles constantly. This process is cumbersome and prone to errors, since the mouse will automatically reset to defaults when you move it between computers.
The Anker 8200 has decent liftoff range to the left and right, allowing us to lift a few millimeters before the mouse stopped responding. Its Z-axis tracking was another story, though. Lifting up the peripheral and replacing it often caused the cursor to travel way off-course.
For its price, the earlier Anker 5000 wasn't a bad mouse, and had a lot of potential to become something better. But the Anker 8200 opted to fix what wasn't broken on the 5000, and leave a lot of problematic aspects alone.
Every one of the Anker 8200's good ideas comes mired in caveats, and all the user tweaking in the world can't solve its fundamental design problems. You could probably do worse than the Anker 8200, but there's no compelling reason to get it instead of another, better mouse like the Logitech G500s.
If the following fail to resolve it would be best to drop support@anker.com an email to see if your issue relates to Windows 10 compatibility and/or if they have an updated driver which has not yet been posted for download on the support page.
Have you tried the troubleshooting mentioned by @ndalby? Please delete the other drivers on your computer before you install the gaming mouse. Meanwhile, you could try this mouse on other devices, if possible, to confirm whether the issue is with this item.
To begin with, personally, I was a bit astonished the first time I saw that Anker had entered the gaming mouse industry, as they seem to be more of a peripheral company. However, I was hurriedly surprised that Anker really had developed an excellent mouse. The Anker 8200 DPI High-Precision laser cheap gaming mouse feels like an extension. When you are sitting there and playing games for hours on your computer, nothing is more important than a relaxed and correct control of your mouse.
I recently reached out to Anker to have a look at their 8200 DPI gaming mouse. As this mouse has gained a lot of popularity over the last 18 months, I thought it would be a good idea to take a look at what all of the hype is about.
My favorite features about this mouse is the way the buttons are setup, the fact that it has a max DPI setting of 8200 and the 16 million different logo color options that you can choose from.
After installation of NVIDIA drivers (331.38) through Driver Manager on Ubuntu 14.04, after a while usb mouse stops working without any success of reconnecting it (only reboot helps). When falling back to nouveau everything works properly. I couldn't find anything related to this problem in here or anywhere else.
As others have mentioned mouse acceleration has existed in Windows since possibly as far back as Windows 95, and maybe even further (possibly even Windows 3.1). Though the feature and exact capabilities might be more dependent on the mouse driver you have installed than the version of Windows you are using.
The software for the UtechSmart 8200 mouse is pretty basic; only three pages to manage your settings. The first of the pages is the "Main Settings" page, which allows you to set button options for all five profiles. The default button options are shown on the image below. Though your mouse doesn't look like the graphic itself (all glossy and fancy with near tiger scrape glows), it's easy enough to figure out what buttons are referencing what. You can change things to almost anything you can imagine.
Under the little mouse hood is an ADNS-9800 laser gaming sensor with 8200 dpi and a polling rate of 125 - 1000 Hz / 1ms. The 600M can handle 12,000 fps frame rates and offers a max tracking speed and acceleration of 150 IPS and 30G, respectively. There's a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 processor and 512 KB of onboard memory to store up to three profiles.
Sniper DPI settings do offer specific numbers, as well as the ability to independently adjust the X and Y axis if you so desire. The same is true of the regular DPI settings; you can set the X and Y axis, between 50 and 8200 DPI, on four different tiers. These correspond to the DPI buttons on the mouse. For example, "DP 1" is active when you click the DPI buttons so that just one bar (of four) is showing on the mouse itself. (It's handy to have those DPI indicator lights, isn't it?) 2ff7e9595c
