5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning
To ensure optimal performance and longevity, regular cleaning of your Xtrfy M42 mouse is recommended.
- Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the surface of the mouse.
- For the honeycomb holes, a can of compressed air can be used to dislodge dust and debris. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the mouse.
- Clean the optical sensor on the underside periodically with a cotton swab lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol, ensuring it is dry before use.
5.2 Skates Replacement
The M42 comes with extra PTFE skates. If your current skates show significant wear and tear, affecting glide performance, you can replace them.
- Carefully peel off the old skates using a thin, non-abrasive tool.
- Ensure the surface where the skates were is clean and free of adhesive residue.
- Peel the backing from the new skates and carefully apply them to the designated areas on the mouse's underside, pressing firmly to ensure adhesion.
6. Troubleshooting
