Gamer mousepads are the essential accessory to fight for victory in every game. And to stand out in your live events! Everything –from design, size and comfort– plays a role in selecting the ideal pad. But, like all peripherals in our setup, it is important to keep them in good condition. And that includes regular cleaning with the right products. Do you know how to clean a gamer mousepad? Check out these tips from the experts at ES Gaming.
How to clean a fabric gamer mousepad
The most important thing with fabric gaming mouse pads is to clean them regularly. Dust and dirt can build up easily, meaning the material may deteriorate without proper maintenance. All you need is a cloth with soap and water... so easy! Make sure the cloth is moist but never soaked. Wring it out before running it over the pad. We recommend using a soft cloth to avoid scratching the fabric.
Choose a soap that does not lather too much, making it easy to wipe down the pad. After wiping using a moist cloth with soap and water, take a towel or other clean cloth to remove any excess water. Let the gamer mousepad dry, and it will be ready to use again.
How do I clean the seams of the gaming mouse pad?
Dirt can be removed from the seams in fabric pads in exactly the same way, i.e. by wiping with a cloth and soap and water. Take care not to break the threads, damaging the pad.Can I use any cleaner other than soap and water?
Whenever your gamer mousepad has food or liquid stains that are more difficult to remove, or which don’t come out with soap, you can also use an upholstery cleaner spray. Apply using a cloth, making gentle circular movements on the surface of the pad, and let it dry.What if my mousepad has RGB lights?
You should be very careful when cleaning the connection ports if your mouse pad has RGB lights, as they could be damaged if water gets into them. You can also clean this part of the plastic and electronic components with a moist cloth, but making sure that no liquid gets inside and always drying thoroughly once finished
If you see that this area only has a little dust and can be cleaned with just a dry cloth, so much the better. And, of course, remember to safely disconnect the cable from the PC before starting to clean.
How to clean a rigid gamer mousepad
Cleaning is even easier for pads that are not made of fabric. As these materials do not absorb moisture, you can simply wipe using a moist cloth with soap. Make sure the cloth is soft, so as not to scratch the surface, and then dry off with another cloth or towel. Clean at least once a week to keep your gamer mousepad in a perfect hygienic and design condition. Don’t let anything stop you winning!
