7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning Your Mouse

Regular cleaning helps maintain the optimal performance and appearance of your mouse. Always disconnect the mouse from your computer before cleaning.

• Exterior Cleaning: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the surface of the mouse. For more persistent dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the mouse's finish.
• Optical Sensor Cleaning: To ensure accurate tracking, periodically clean the optical sensor lens located on the underside of the mouse. Use a cotton swab lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol to gently wipe the sensor lens. Allow it to dry completely before reconnecting the mouse.
