ZOWIE mousepads are crafted with a high-density base and an exclusive surface fabric designed to provide stability and optimize stopping power. The tightly woven surface not only delivers a finer touch and unique glide, but also ensures consistent control and comfort during play.
Because the ZOWIE surface fabric is tightly woven, small particles and dust can easily accumulate on the surface after extended use. This buildup gradually affects the mousepad’s texture and glide, making mouse movements feel inconsistent. Proper cleaning removes these particles and restores the condition of the surface.
The photos below are proof: even after 172 km of wear, a properly cleaned mousepad can regain a consistent glide feeling that is much closer to its original state.
Step 1: Gently shake off the dust
Shake the mousepad gently to remove larger dust and dirt particles.
Step 2: Gently wipe with a pure water wipe or alcohol-free wipe
- Use a pure water wipe or an alcohol-free wipe to clean the surface.
- Make sure the wipe is damp but not dripping.
- Wipe the mousepad two to three times to remove all remaining dust and dirt, using a new wipe each time.
Step 3: Place it in a shaded area and let it air dry
Place the mousepad in a shaded area and let it air dry naturally.
Maintenance and Replacement Recommendations
- Clean the mousepad regularly (e.g., once a week) to help maintain its condition, retain a smooth glide, and extend its lifespan.
- If the surface shows obvious wear, scratches, or deformations that affects glide and control — even after cleaning — consider replacing it based on your actual usage needs.
Q&A
Q1: Can I use soap and water to clean the mousepad?
Not recommended. Some soaps or hygiene products may contain alcohol or additives that can damage the fibers. Using soap together with a brush or sponge can also wear out the surface material, causing permanent damage.
Q2: How often should I clean the mousepad?
It depends on the frequency of use. As a guideline, cleaning once a week is recommended. If you notice more dust, sweat, or changes in the feel of the glide, increase the frequency that you clean it.
Q3: Why does the mousepad still feel rough after cleaning?
Proper cleaning helps restore the glide feeling closer to its original state, but wear and tear is inevitable over time. Even with regular cleaning, the surface will gradually age with use.
Q4: Can I use alcohol to clean the mousepad?
Not recommended. Alcohol can damage the surface fabric and affect glide performance. Stick to pure water wipes or alcohol-free baby wipes.
Q5: Can I wash the mousepad in a washing machine?
Not recommended. Machine washing may cause the surface fabric and the rubber base to separate, reducing consistency and stability.
