Installation & compatibility checks

  • Record the exact model/revision, interface mode, receiver or cable identity, firmware, driver version, and supported host before testing.
  • Check connector, power, protocol, OS/driver, and application support separately; physical connector fit alone does not establish feature compatibility.
  • For wireless models, preserve original receivers and pairing data. Test wired and radio modes independently where both are provided.
  • Do not infer performance from manufacturer maximums alone; note settings, application, host, and measurement method for measured results.
