How to turn off/on my dongle's LED light

Modified on Mon, 22 Sep at 10:46 PM

All Pulsar dongles include an LED light. 

While useful, some people prefer to turn it off for a cleaner look or to reduce distractions while gaming. 

If you have a 1K dongle, this unfortunately isn’t possible, as the LED cannot be turned off. However, the good news is that 4K and 8K dongles include a simple, built-in way to disable the LED—no extra software or modifications needed. In this guide, we’ll show you the quick and easy method to turn off your Pulsar 4k or 8k dongle’s LED light in just five seconds.



Unlike other devices that require complicated workarounds, Pulsar has made this process incredibly simple. With just a quick adjustment, you can disable the LED instantly, ensuring a distraction-free experience. Let’s get started. 


Step 1: Press the scroll wheel button + right click button + forward (side) button (see image below—buttons 1, 2 and 3)

Step 2: Keep them pressed for 5 seconds.

Step 3: Enjoy seeing the dongle with its LED turned off. 


If you ever want the LED back on, simply follow steps 1 and 2 again—you can easily reverse the setting just as quickly! Pulsar makes it easy to customize your experience to suit your needs.
