Software

The software for the DM6 Holey Duo is very similar to the LTC MoshPit WHM-01 software. Almost all relevant options are displayed on a single page. CPI adjustment is possible for up to six color-coded steps, ranging from 100 to 16,000 and in increments of 100. All buttons can be remapped to mouse, keyboard, media, and macro functions. Furthermore, an option for LOD adjustment, basic Windows pointer settings, and a macro editor are included. Curiously, settings aren't shared between wired and wireless mode, and every time any setting is applied, both lighting and polling rate reset to default on the mouse. All setting changes are saved to the on-board memory, so the software does not need to be running (or be installed) all the time. On my system, the software had a RAM footprint of 13 MB on average when running in the foreground, which doesn't change when minimized, be it to the taskbar or the system tray. Upon exiting the application, all processes are terminated, as they should be.

Lighting

The DM6 Holey Duo has but a single RGB lighting zone, which is a singular LED below the right main button. It can be turned on or off with a button on the bottom of the mouse. When plugged in, the LED also serves as a rough indicator of battery life.

Here's a short demonstration video of the RGB lighting:

Battery Life

According to Dream Machines, expected battery life with illumination enabled and a polling rate of 1000 Hz sits at up to 72 hours. The battery life indicator within the software is very basic, distinguishing only between three non-descriptive states (Full, Mid, and Low). As such, gauging actual battery life is impossible for me. The battery has a capacity of 700 mAh. Merely based on the capacity, I consider the 72 hours figure to be well within the realm of possibility.

After a set and non-user configurable duration of inactivity, the sensor enters a low-power state. Waking up from it requires clicking a button, merely moving the mouse isn't enough.

Using the included USB Type-A to Type-C charging cable, I've also measured the charging speed of the DM6 Holey Duo during the constant current (bulk) stage to be around 0.461 A. This is just short of the USB current limit.
