4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your mouse, regular cleaning is recommended:

• Exterior: Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to wipe down the mouse surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Optical Sensor: Use a cotton swab or compressed air to gently clean the optical sensor located on the bottom of the mouse. Ensure no dust or debris obstructs the sensor.

4.2 Battery Replacement

As mentioned in the setup section, the mouse uses one AA battery. When the mouse's performance degrades or the LED indicator signals low battery, replace the AA battery following the steps in Section 2.1.

5. Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Mouse not connecting/unresponsive:
  • Ensure the mouse is turned on and the battery is correctly installed and charged.
  • Verify the mode switch on the bottom of the mouse is set to the correct connection type (2.4GHz wireless or Bluetooth).
  • For SLIPSTREAM WIRELESS, try plugging the USB dongle into a different USB port on your computer.
  • For Bluetooth, ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the mouse is paired. Try unpairing and re-pairing if issues persist.
  • Update mouse firmware using Corsair iCUE software.
• Inconsistent tracking or cursor lag:
  • Clean the optical sensor on the bottom of the mouse (refer to Section 4.1).
  • Ensure you are using the mouse on a suitable surface (e.g., a mouse pad). Avoid highly reflective or transparent surfaces.
  • Check for potential wireless interference (e.g., other 2.4GHz devices, large metal objects). Try moving the USB dongle closer to the mouse or using a USB extension cable.
  • Adjust DPI settings to a lower sensitivity if the cursor is too erratic.
• Short battery life:
  • Ensure you are using a fresh, high-quality AA alkaline battery.
