7. Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning
Regularly clean your mouse to ensure optimal performance. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. For dust in crevices or the open magnesium frame, use compressed air. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
7.2 PTFE Skates
The mouse comes with high-quality PTFE skates for smooth gliding. If the skates show signs of wear, replace them with the included spare set. Carefully peel off the old skates and apply the new ones, ensuring a clean, dry surface.
