5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Artisan Raiden Classic MID M mouse pad, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically wipe the surface of the mouse pad with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and minor smudges.
• Deep Cleaning (if necessary): For more stubborn dirt, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water. Gently scrub the affected area with a soft brush or cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water, ensuring all soap residue is removed.
• Drying: Allow the mouse pad to air dry completely before reuse. Do not expose it to direct sunlight or use a heat source (like a hairdryer) as this may damage the material.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can degrade the surface material and affect glide performance.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the mouse pad flat or rolled loosely to prevent creases.

6. Troubleshooting

• Mouse Glide Feels Slow or Uneven: This is often due to accumulated dust, dirt, or oils on the mouse pad surface. Refer to the Maintenance section for cleaning instructions. Ensure your mouse feet are also clean and undamaged.
• Mouse Pad Not Lying Flat: If the mouse pad does not lie perfectly flat after unpacking, gently roll it in the opposite direction for a short period. Ensure the surface it rests on is completely flat and free of debris.
• Mouse Pad Slipping: Ensure the underside of the mouse pad and your desk surface are clean and dry. The non-slip base requires a clean surface to maintain its grip.
