Tips for Keeping Your Mouse in Good Condition
Maintaining your ergonomic mouse ensures it performs optimally and lasts longer. Here are some tips for keeping your mouse in top condition:
Regular Cleaning:
- Surface Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the mouse regularly. For more thorough cleaning, dampen the cloth with water or a mild detergent.
- Sensor Cleaning: Use a cotton swab to gently clean the sensor on the bottom of the mouse. This helps maintain accurate tracking.
- Button Cleaning: Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from around the buttons and scroll wheel.
Avoid Spills:
- Keep liquids away from your mouse to prevent damage. If a spill occurs, immediately unplug the mouse (if wired) and clean it as thoroughly as possible.
Proper Storage:
- When not in use, store your mouse in a clean, dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
Cable Care:
- For wired mice, ensure the cable is not bent or twisted. Store the cable loosely coiled to prevent damage.
