Maintenance
1. Cleaning
To maintain optimal performance and appearance, regularly clean your mouse. Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe down the surface. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents.
2. Battery Care
To maximize battery lifespan, avoid fully discharging the mouse frequently. Recharge the mouse when the battery indicator suggests low power. Store the mouse in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
3. PTFE Feet
The mouse features pure, heat-treated PTFE feet for incredible glide. Keep the mousepad surface clean to prevent debris from accumulating on the feet, which can affect glide performance. Replacement feet may be available from Turtle Beach support if they wear out over time.
