Mouse Modes
The Dominion KX II operates in several mouse modes:
Absolute Mouse Synchronization™ (D2CIM-VUSB is

mouse), and Standard Mouse Mode. Mouse parameters do
not have to be altered for Absolute Mouse Synchronization.
For both the Standard and Intelligent mouse modes, mouse
parameters must be set to specific values, which are
