Maintenance
Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance and appearance, regularly clean your Keychron M7 mouse. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the surface. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild electronics cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Battery Care
The Keychron M7 uses a rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery. To prolong battery life:
- Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently.
- Store the mouse in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
- Charge the mouse using the provided cable or a certified USB charger.
Troubleshooting
- Mouse not responding: Ensure the mouse is charged. Check the mode switch on the bottom of the mouse is set correctly (G for 2.4 GHz, B for Bluetooth, or connected via cable). For wireless modes, ensure the receiver is properly plugged in or Bluetooth is paired.
- Lag or disconnections in wireless mode: Try moving the receiver closer to the mouse. Ensure there are no strong interfering signals (e.g., other 2.4 GHz devices, Wi-Fi routers) nearby. Switch to a different USB port for the receiver.
- DPI or button issues: Ensure the Keychron Engine software is installed and updated. Check your settings within the software. Reset the mouse to factory defaults if necessary (refer to software instructions).
- Mouse cursor erratic: Clean the optical sensor on the bottom of the mouse. Ensure you are using the mouse on a suitable surface (a mouse pad is recommended).
