1. General Description

A725 Gaming Mouse Sensor is a high performance single chip CMOS process optical mouse
sensor. This chip solution is used to implement a non-mechanical tracking engine for USB
computer mice. It supports Horse-Race Lamp and provides many customized features.

The A725 is based on Instant 3rd Optical Navigation Technology, which measures changes
in position by optically capturing sequential surface images and mathematically determining the
direction and magnitude of movement.

Customization includes both function and backlight. The function involves two aspects such
as function (normal or special) for button/wheel and resolution setting. Among them, special
function consists of MACRO, multimedia, and Group switch in functions. While resolution setting
consists of level, value and indicative color. The number of resolution levels is up to 6, and there
are 12 values which are available for each level, in addition, users can specify any LED color to
indicate each level.

In backlight application, the A725 supports up to 10 kinds of backlight modes (including

synchronization, horse-race and reaction mode), and backlight color customization, which provide
users with rich application options. In addition, users can define a specific function key to switch
the backlight mode.

The A725 provides more than 32kb storage capacity. Using the driver software, users can
customize button function, resolution (CPI), and backlight color etc. These settings are stored in
the chip, and it keeps the settings from losing when power is turned off. The A725 supports 4
groups of settings, and users can customize a specific key to switch one group to another (for
example: Office settings(Group1) -> Game settings I(Group2) -> Game settings II (Group3)->
Multimedia Settings(Group4) -> Office settings(Group1).

In A725, VID/PID and mouse DIRECTION can be customized according to the needs of
customer.

A725 package type is optical DIP12 package, and it has a built-in LED driver and internal
oscillator to minimize the external components.

6.2 Customized Function Buttons
The functions of 9 physical buttons can be customized arbitrarily, and these functions consist
of into mouse key, keyboard key, multimedia key and MARCO key (includes office shortcuts).

Assigning a keyboard key function to a physical button of mouse means that, the physical
button has a keyboard function, and the pressing/releasing operation is exactly as same as the one
of the keyboard.

MARCO key function is a combination of mouse and keyboard functions. The mouse
functions maybe include a number of mouse keys and motions, and the motions is helpful for
finding exact locations in game (for example, changing ballistic parameters in a gun battle game).

Function Type Function Selection

Mouse Function L, M, R, Forward, Backward, CPI(CPI+/CPI-), Boss, Fire, Double click
Keyboard Function A-Z, F1-F12, 0-9, Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Win etc.
Multimedia Function Web, Media, Mail, Vol+, Vol-, Next, Previous, Mute, Play/Pause etc.

MACRO Function PUBG MARCO,LOL MARCO,CF MARCO etc.

6.3 CPI Setting

6.3.1 CPI Switching

The number of resolutions can be set from 1 to 6. Each resolution can choose one of the 12
available values, with a range 200/400/600/800/1000/1200/1600/2000/2400/3200/4000/4800.

A725 has two following CPI operation modes to be chosen:

 CPI LOOP: set a button as CPI key. Users can change resolution circularly by clicking CPI
button. For example, the shift order of CPI level is 1->2->3->4->5->6->1.
 CPI+/CPI-: Set a button CPI+ and another CPI-. Resolution increases to the top step by step
by clicking CPI+ button. And CPI- button is on the opposite.

6.3.2 CPI Indicating

To click CPI button, the CPI level changes, and the backlight LED indicates current CPI
level after switched, one color corresponds to one CPI level, and an amount of time later the

backlight LED returns previous status.

A725 supports 16.8 million color. Users can customize CPI color by using a palette in a
given application program.

6.4 Backlight Application

6.4.1 Horse Race Mode

Horse race mode includes 4 kinds of the backlight below.

 M-Color Flowing Light

Lights flow periodically, and the lights automatically change from one color to another when
cycle ends. The number of color is up to 7, but users can disable some of them, and the colors are
programmable in a given application program.

 S-Color Flowing Light

Lights flow periodically in single color. And the color is programmable in a given application
program.

 Comet-Tail Flowing Light

The effect of light looks like a comet trailing its tail, and the light automatically change from
one color to another when cycle ends.

 Ambilight Flowing Light

The flow of light is accompanied by the flow of color, that is, the colors change according to
a certain rule, and at the same time it flows.

These lighting effects have some features which users can configure or choose, and the
features are described in the table below. Among them, Symmetry describes an effect that lights
on the left and right sides of the mouse have exactly the same behavior. While Asymmetry does
not.

The feature “Positive” defines the direction of light which is from the head of the mouse to
the tail; “Reverse” defines the direction of light which is from the tail of the mouse to the head;
“Two-way” show that light flows in positive direction an amount of time and then flows in reverse
direction. “Two-Way Changing Color” show that light flows in bidirection, and in this procedure
the color changes to the next color in one flow cycle.

6.4.3 Reaction Mode

It is designed in response to button clicks. When the button click behavior is detected, the
corresponding backlight mode is executed for a period of time, and the mode is selected from four
modes (Multicolor Breathing, M-Color, S-Color, Comet-Tail). When there is no click action, the
backlight is off and no backlight is effective.

In addition, whether the button supports the backlight response feature requires user to enable
the function.

6.4.4 Backlight Control Method

 Users can set the desired backlight through a given software. In the Horse-Race mode
backlight, the light flow direction can be switched by the “K4/K5+CPI” combination key
enabled by user. By pressing the combination key, user can control the direction of the light
flow such as: Positive->reverse->Two-Way->Two-Way Changing Color->Mute->Positive.
In addition, pressing CPI for more than three seconds (need to enable this function), User can
also switch the backlight.
 Assign switch backlight function to a specified button, can switch up to 10 kinds of
backlight.
 In Horse-Race mode, 16 is the maximum number of LED in PCB circuit application, and
the number of LED used can be customized according to users’ needs.

6.5 Configuring Storage

The A725 provides more than 32kb storage capacity. Using a given software, users can
customize button/wheel function, resolution (CPI), and backlight color. They are stored in the chip,
and it keeps the settings from losing when power is turned off.

The A725 supports 4 groups of settings, and users can customize a specific key to switch one
group to another (for example: Office settings(Group1) -> Game settings I(Group2) -> Game
settings II (Group3)-> Multimedia Settings(Group4) -> Office settings(Group1).
