Maintenance

Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your Microsoft Wired Desktop 600 kit.

• Cleaning:

  To clean the keyboard and mouse, disconnect them from your computer. Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Do not immerse the devices in liquid.

• Spill-Resistant Keyboard:

  The keyboard is designed to be spill-resistant, meaning it can withstand minor liquid spills. In case of a spill, immediately disconnect the keyboard from the computer, turn it upside down to drain any liquid, and allow it to dry completely before reconnecting. This feature is not a guarantee against damage from all liquid exposure.
• Mouse Sensor:

  Keep the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse clean and free from dust or debris for accurate tracking. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the sensor area.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Microsoft Wired Desktop 600 kit, try the following steps:

• Device Not Responding:

  Ensure both the keyboard and mouse USB connectors are securely plugged into your computer's USB ports. Try plugging them into different USB ports, or a different computer, to rule out a port issue.

• Cursor Movement Issues (Mouse):

  Check the optical sensor on the bottom of the mouse for any obstructions or dirt. Ensure you are using the mouse on a suitable surface; highly reflective or transparent surfaces may affect tracking performance.

• Keys Not Responding (Keyboard):

  If specific keys are not working, ensure no debris is lodged under them. Reconnect the keyboard. If the issue persists, it may indicate a hardware problem.
• Driver Issues:

  Although Plug and Play, sometimes driver issues can occur. Check your operating system's Device Manager (Windows) to see if the devices are recognized correctly. You may need to update or reinstall drivers, though this is rarely necessary for basic wired peripherals.
