6. Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surface of the mouse. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild electronics cleaner. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the mouse in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Avoid Liquids: Do not expose the mouse to liquids. If liquid spills on the mouse, immediately disconnect it and allow it to dry completely before use.
• Disassembly: Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the mouse, as this will void the warranty and may cause damage.
• Charging: Use only the provided USB Type-C cable or a certified equivalent for charging.

7. Troubleshooting

• Mouse not responding:
  • Check battery level. Charge the mouse if the battery is low.
  • Ensure the power/mode switch is in the correct position (2.4G, BT, or OFF for wired).
  • For 2.4G, ensure the receiver is securely plugged into a USB port. Try a different USB port.
  • For Bluetooth, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the mouse is paired. Try re-pairing.
  • Try connecting the mouse in wired mode to see if it functions.
• Cursor movement is erratic or laggy:
  • Clean the mouse sensor with a soft cloth.
  • Ensure you are using the mouse on a suitable surface (mouse pad recommended).
  • Reduce wireless interference by moving other wireless devices away from the receiver.
  • Lower the polling rate in the driver software if your system struggles with 8KHz.
• Mouse not charging:
  • Ensure the USB Type-C cable is properly connected to both the mouse and a power source.
  • Try a different USB port or charging adapter.
  • Check the charging indicator light for status.
• 8KHz polling rate not stable:
  • Ensure your computer meets the recommended specifications for 8KHz operation (see User Tips section).
  • Update your computer's USB drivers.
  • Try connecting the receiver to a different USB port, preferably a USB 3.0 or higher port.

8. User Tips

• Optimal 8KHz Experience: To fully utilize the 8KHz polling rate, ensure your computer meets the following recommended configuration:
