Software

Unlike most mouse software, the software for the Hati-S Plus ACE does not require installation, and instead runs directly from an executable. As of now, two different but ultimately near-identical versions of the software are available, only set apart by the debounce time slider. The older version includes a slider going from 0 to 30 ms of defer debouncing, which increases click latency by said value, whereas the newer version utilizes letters instead of numbers to represent settings. The "A" value denotes eager debouncing for button-down events without any defer debouncing, whereas for any values past "A," 1 ms of additional defer debouncing each is applied on top. This is done to prevent slam-clicking.

All options are accessible on a single page. Button remapping is possible to mouse, keyboard, and media functions. CPI adjustment is possible for up to seven color-coded levels in increments of 50 until 10,000 CPI and increments of 100 at and above 10,100 CPI. The LED indicating the current CPI level may be turned off. Furthermore, polling rate (125, 250, 500, or 1000 Hz), lift-off distance (low/high), and angle snapping (on/off) can be adjusted as well. An option for MotionSync is present but not accessible, and MotionSync is permanently enabled.

All settings changes are saved to the on-board memory, so the software does not need to be running all the time. On my system, the software had a RAM footprint of 19 (older version) to 25 (newer version) MB on average when running in the foreground, which doesn't change when minimized to the system tray. Upon exiting the application, all processes are terminated, as they should be.

Battery Life

G-Wolves does not provide any figures regarding expected battery life. That said, after 8 hours of continuous usage at a polling rate of 1000 Hz, the battery indicator within the software went down by roughly 25%. Hence, provided the indicator is in fact accurate and consumption linear, a battery life of roughly 30 hours could be expected.

Using the included USB Type-A to Micro-USB charging cable, I also measured the charging speed outside of the constant current stage, where it peaked around 0.424 A. The default battery has a capacity of 75 mAh, whereas the additional battery included in the box has a capacity of 170 mAh.
