Your Contour Rollermouse Red trackpad wireless works on Windows, macOS and Linux, but for best performance you should set the correct control mode. You can also personalise the rollerbar itself: both the click force and the volume of the click sound are adjustable. Read on to find out how.

Switching control modes

The RollerMouse has three modes:

• PC-mode for Windows
• Mac-mode for macOS
• HID-mode for Linux

By default, the RollerMouse is set to PC-mode. Working on macOS or Linux? Then switch to the corresponding mode for optimal operation of the Copy and Paste buttons and other shortcuts.

Changing the mode

1. Hold the B button (Cursor Speed) and the D button (Paste) at the same time for two seconds. The LED lights show which mode is active.
2. Keep B pressed and release D.
3. Press D again to switch to the next mode. Each press of D jumps to the next mode.
4. Release both buttons when the desired mode is active.

Adjusting the click force of the rollerbar

Click force is the amount of resistance you feel when you press the rollerbar to register a click. Find the click too heavy or too light? Then adjust it yourself.

1. Hold the B button (Cursor Speed).
2. Press the rollerbar (A) once briefly and release it.
3. Keep holding B and move the scroll wheel (G) up or down to adjust the resistance. The LEDs show the current setting.
4. Release the B button to confirm the setting.

Disabling the click function of the rollerbar

Want the rollerbar to no longer click when you press it? Adjust the click force until all LEDs light up at the same time. The click function is then completely disabled.

Adjusting the click sound of the rollerbar

In addition to the click force, you can also set the volume of the rollerbar click. The RollerMouse has 6 different volume levels for this.

1. Hold the B button (Cursor Speed).
2. Press the scroll wheel (G) once briefly and release. The LEDs show the current volume level.
3. Keep holding B and move the scroll wheel up or down to adjust the volume.
4. Release the B button to confirm.

Disabling the click sound completely

Set the volume until all LEDs light up at the same time. The click sound is then completely disabled, useful in quiet offices or during video calls.

Frequently asked questions

My Copy/Paste buttons don't work as expected. Check that the control mode matches your operating system (PC for Windows, Mac for macOS, HID for Linux). Switch to the correct mode using the steps above.

What is the difference between click force and click sound? Click force is how heavy the rollerbar feels to press, that is a mechanical setting. Click volume is how loud the click sound you hear is, that is an acoustic setting. You can adjust them independently of each other.

How do I know which mode my RollerMouse is in? Hold B and D at the same time for two seconds. The LEDs immediately show the current mode before you switch. Release both buttons before pressing D again to just view.

Does the RollerMouse work without setting a specific mode? Yes. PC-mode is the default setting and works immediately on Windows. For macOS or Linux, a mode change is often desirable for optimal operation of the Copy/Paste buttons and other system-specific functions.

Can I disable the rollerbar as a left mouse button? Yes, by adjusting the click force until all LEDs light up. The rollerbar then functions only as cursor movement. For clicking, you then use the Left-click button (E).

What work environments is HID-mode intended for? HID-mode (Human Interface Device) is a standard protocol recognised by virtually any operating system without drivers. In addition to Linux, HID-mode is also useful in secure work environments where you are not allowed to install software, or for certain thin clients.
