DPI adjust is via button. Then observe cursor movement, to tell
which DPI is in use. (Move mouse - big jump or small, tells you the DPI.)

"The software that came with the mouse actually made our computer crash
when we tried to install it. We are not sure if this is the software’s
fault, of if there was some other error, but it did mean we couldn’t
test it. The mouse still seemed to have full functionality without it
though."

yeah, thanks, I realised that is what does happen, but if you check the
mouse dialog (well if the driver failed to install on your system you may
not have it...) which is available through the system tray icon (or mouse
properties on control panel) with the eyes that follow the mouse around
(that always says 800dpi incorrectly, whatever the actual dpi is...)

This mouse properties dialog has a tab with button settings, on this is
another button which pops up a dialog that should let you select which
DPI's you want to alternate between and even supposedly allow you to
disable switching DPI's using the little + button, its that that does not
work... and thats one of the features advertised.

Problem is the manufacturer has sold and shipped a slightly defective
(doesnt do all its claimed to do) product and never bothered to finish
it, well I know I could return it to whoever sold it to me (if I had
discovered the fault fast enough....) but then they are stuck with it,
the manufacturer is several thousand miles away in taiwan or wherever,
returning to them is what should happen, not the retailer and consumer
take the hit and have the time waste.

They should have got the driver working properly and posted on web site,
that would have been satisfactory to me, but looks like perhaps enough
people did not complain for them to do it....

that said its not a bad mouse, it was sold as a gaming mouse, and i
wonder if along the line it was substituted for an ergo 525 and its a
hardware button to switch dpi instead of a software controllable button
