Maintenance

Cleaning Your Mouse:

• Exterior Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe down the surface of the mouse. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Sensor Cleaning: Occasionally, dust or debris may accumulate around the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse. Use a cotton swab or compressed air to gently clean the sensor area.
• Cable Care: Avoid sharply bending or twisting the mouse cable to prevent internal damage. Store the cable neatly when not in use.

General Care:

• Avoid dropping the mouse or subjecting it to strong impacts.
