7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface of the mouse. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Sensor Care: Keep the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse clean and free from dust or debris to ensure accurate tracking.

  - Ensure the USB cable is securely plugged into a working USB port.

  - Clean the optical sensor on the underside of the mouse.

• Buttons Not Working:
  - Ensure the Dragonwar software is installed correctly if you have customized button functions.
