6. SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE
SAFETY GUIDELINES
Should you have trouble operating the device properly and troubleshooting does not work,
unplug the device and contact the Razer hotline or go to support.razer.com for support.
Do not take apart the device and do not attempt to operate it under abnormal current loads.
Doing so will void your warranty.
Keep the device away from liquid, humidity or moisture. Operate the device only within the
specific temperature range of 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F). Should the temperature exceed
this range, unplug and/or switch off the device in order to let the temperature stabilize to an
optimal level.
COMFORT
Research has shown that long periods of repetitive motion, improper positioning of your
computer peripherals, incorrect body position, and poor habits may be associated with
physical discomfort and injury to nerves, tendons, and muscles. Below are some guidelines to
avoid injury and ensure optimum comfort while using your Razer DeathAdder V2 X
HyperSpeed.
Position your keyboard and monitor directly in front of you with your mouse next to it.
Place your elbows next to your side, not too far away and your keyboard within easy
reach.
Adjust the height of your chair and table so that the keyboard and mouse are at or
below elbow-height.
Keep your feet well supported, posture straight and your shoulders relaxed.
During gameplay, relax your wrist and keep it straight. If you do the same tasks with
your hands repeatedly, try not to bend, extend or twist your hands for long periods.
Do not rest your wrists on hard surfaces for long periods. Use a wrist rest to support
your wrist while gaming.
Do not sit in the same position all day. Get up, step away from your desk and do
exercises to stretch your arms, shoulders, neck and legs.
If you should experience any physical discomfort while using your mouse, such as pain,
numbness, or tingling in your hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck or back, please consult a
qualified medical doctor immediately.

MAINTENANCE AND USE
The Razer DeathAdder V2 X HyperSpeed requires minimum maintenance to keep it in
optimum condition. Once a month we recommend you unplug the device from the computer
and clean it using a soft cloth or cotton swab to prevent dirt buildup. Do not use soap or harsh
cleaning agents.
To get the ultimate experience in movement and control, we highly recommend a premium
mouse mat from Razer. Some surfaces will cause undue wear on the feet requiring constant
care and eventual replacement.
Do note that the sensor of the Razer DeathAdder V2 X HyperSpeed is ‘tuned’ or optimized
especially for the Razer mouse mats. This means that the sensor has been tested extensively
to confirm that the Razer DeathAdder V2 X HyperSpeed reads and tracks best on Razer
mouse mats.
