4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

To maintain optimal performance and appearance, regularly clean your mouse. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the surface. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring no moisture enters the internal components. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Periodically inspect the optical sensor on the bottom of the mouse for dust or debris. Use a cotton swab or compressed air to gently clean the sensor area to prevent tracking issues.

4.3 Battery Care

The ATK Dragonfly A9 uses a nonstandard, non-user-replaceable battery. To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the mouse frequently. Charge it when the battery indicator suggests low power. Store the mouse in a cool, dry place when not in use for extended periods.
