If you own a Zelotes C-18 gaming mouse, you already know it packs impressive features for its price point—adjustable DPI, programmable buttons, and customizable RGB lighting. However, to unlock its full potential, you’ll need to use the official Zelotes software.

The C-18 features a scroll wheel light, logo light, and side strip light.

Clunky interface, rock-solid performance. Get the driver, spend 10 minutes setting it up, and you won't touch your mouse settings again for years.

: Once you configure your settings at home, the mouse remembers them even when plugged into a different computer that does not have the software installed.

The software is essential for transforming this budget-friendly vertical mouse into a productivity powerhouse or a specialized gaming tool.

If you bought the Zelotes C-18 purely for the ergonomic palm rest and don't care about the sniper button or RGB, you can skip the software. The mouse works fine out of the box at 2400 DPI default.
