Individual units must pass any and all of the following tests. The order of testing is subject to the
tester. Passing the test is defined as functioning properly without significant damage; including but
not limited to mechanical failure, electrical failure, chips or cracks in the housing or significant
changes in the tactile feel.
6.1 Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)
The unit shall have an expected MTBF under operating conditions of not less than 150,000
hours (on condition 6 hours per day operation, 250 days per year with 99% confidence level).
6.2 Button Switch Activation
The unit shall survive a minimum of 1,000,000 times (for all of the micro switches on mouse).
Tested at 1.5 cycles per second.
6.3 Scroll Rotation
The unit shall be rotated a minimum of 100,000 cycles at a speed of 10 cycles per minute at least
without electrical load after which measurement shall be made.
6.4 Tracking Life
The unit shall survive a minimum of 100km at a speed of 10cm per second.
6.5 Drop Shock with Bare Unit
Drop the unit from 76cm height onto a concrete floor, on the top, bottom and 3 sides without
cable side of the unit (1 time for each side). The unit should be without damage. Damage is
defined as failure of the unit to function properly, chips in the housing, or mechanical failure of
any of the parts.
6.6 Drop Shock in Gift Box
Drop the unit in box from 91cm onto a concrete floor, on the 4 corners and 6 sides of the box (1
time for each side). Resulting damage should be minimal and shall not allow for contents to
escape from packaging.
6.7 Drop Shock in Carton
Unit shall survive a drop test in the weight of product carton on 1 corner, 3 edges and 6 sides
from the height onto a concrete floor (1 time for each side).

6.8 High Temperature Test for Operating Pattern
The unit is kept at the temperature of 0 to 40 degrees Celsius and relative humidity of 0% to
95% for 250 hours and then left at ambient room temperature for 1 hour.
6.9 Heat Cycle Test for Shipment Pattern
