4.5. 100% PTFE Mouse Feet

5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your Razer Cobra mouse:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the mouse surface. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no moisture enters the mouse.

- Cable Management: Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling on the Speedflex cable to prevent damage.
- Mouse Feet: Inspect the PTFE mouse feet periodically for wear. While durable, heavily worn feet may affect glide performance.
