Preservation and service notes

Use approved USB-C charging equipment and avoid opening the lithium battery assembly. Clean the touchpad and analog sticks dry; document drift, trigger resistance, and battery condition separately.

Record the as-found label, accessories, host OS, driver/firmware version, and test method. Separate observed condition from published specifications; do not treat family-level feature claims as proof of a unit's revision.
