Lexip Mo42 Ceramic Gaming Feet - Hardwearing, Incomparable Glide - Compatible with All Mice, Laser and Optical - Gain Speed, Precision, Control and Playing Comfort (V1)

These makes your mouse glide really smooth. It is really amazing for fabric like mousepads as well as hard pads.Fabric like mousepads will give you twice the smoothness for mouse than aftermarket PTFE skates like hyperglides and other brands that are 100% PTFE. I have multiple packets of the ceramic skates so I have tested them on heavy 130gram mouse to lighter 70 gram mouse and they perform really smooth. You can literally navigate your mouse with 1 finger (on fabric mouse pad--Odin Gaming ZeroGravity Mouse Pad).For Hard Pads (ie metal pads glass pads, etc...) these skates will make your mouse move really fast and really smooth, BUT it doesn't stop. So its like putting your mouse on some crazy DPI setting. So you will be using hard pad with ceramic skates for specific purpose most likely. I personally used hard pad until I got a desktop size mouse pad for space and conveniences. But before I had a hard pad and softpdad for different games I would play. IE I used the softpad larger mouse pad for FPS as I had a dpi switch for mouse and hard pad for every other game as I literally did not have to use any force to push the mouse on hard pad.Some IssuesSo all mouse feet mounts and placements are all different so will find yourself being creative of how you place these mouse skates. You might be placing the skates in weird distributions and some might need to be place not within the original mouse feet groves. You may find yourself doing some creative solutions. Also since these skates are dots and not "feet" your old mouse may have large feet and so you have to nuke it with adhesive cleaner (ie alcohol or whatever you want) and clean the old adhesive really well since the ceramic dots will not cover up the old adhesive of your original feet.Preventing MOUSE rocking and Pre testing the skatesThe Tape TrickThis I believe this is important. The box only comes with a limited amount of adhesive and if you don't like how you placed the skates-- you are going to run out of the box adhesives. ALSO these are small dot skates so you might need to play around to find the best placements on your mouse so it does not rock back and forth.What I did was I took some general tape (like generic office tape--the really thing kind) and I double sided it and then I placed them on the ceramic skates and then used a razor blade to shave off the excess. Then I would place them on the mouse and started to test them. Once I felt like it functioned the way I wanted to-- I used the box adhesive to place them on the mouse.Lazy way option.If you use the tape trick as described above-- You can actually test if you can place the mouse skates on the mouse without taking off your old mouse skates and see if the sensor can still read the mouse accurately with the extra height clearance. I have done this with a logitech G903 and a Razer Nyth and they both work. Again this is not the intended way of implementation but it worked for me so... I lazy.BTWif you run out of the box adhesives you can use tape trick, stated above, to stick the skates on your mouse.

I'm not a gamer but I can't stand a dragging mouse, especially when trying to make tiny movements. I have a mischief (herd) of Logitech M525 mice (mouses?) that I like (two for each computer), especially since they fit my hands so well (regular mice feel like boulders in my hand). I like textured hard pads since they are easier to clean and keep clean and mice slide over them better but even cloth pads will quickly wear out the stock mouse feet in as little as six months. To avoid that wear, I used PTFE tape to protect the stock feet and to make the mice move even easier.However, the tape gets fine dirt embedded in it, slowing down the mouse and it wears out in around a month and has to be replaced. Putting some silicone spray on the rat mat reduces friction even more and prolongs the life of the plastic mat and the PTFE tape a little.I've also tried somewhat harder mouse disks over the stock feet and, although slicker and a bit more durable, they still didn't work as well as I would have liked. Then I stumbled on these ceramic feet and bought a couple of packs. I stuck one alongside each the four stock feet on the rodent I use on my desk to try them out and was amazed how slick they are. All it takes is a gentle nudge to send the little critter scurrying across the mat like it was fleeing a hungry cat. Putting some silicone spray on the mat was almost too slick! The only problem I had was the feet were not in the best locations to keep the mouse from tipping if I wasn't careful.Although the Logitech M525 is in no way a gaming mouse, these feet work very well with it despite the feet being thicker and not being able to adjust lift-off distance. The feet could have been thicker and the mouse still would have worked just fine. The mouse is small enough I can rest the heel of my hand on the mat so stopping the mouse and holding it in position is easy despite how slick these feet are.Since I was so impressed and had eight of the ceramic feet left, I used a chisel to carefully remove the feet and the raised plastic around each of the feet from two more mice, then stuck the ceramic feet where the original feet had been. It wasn't difficult to do but it was tedious and a bit hard on my old, arthritic hands. I've ordered more feet to reshoe the rest of the herd.Now for the complaints. Including alcohol wipes and a micro fiber cloth to ensure the bottom of the mouse where the feet will go is properly cleaned was a nice touch but the box everything came in was way overkill. Seriously, a heavy duty box with magnetic lid latches? That had to account for at least half of the cost of each set of feet and really wasn't necessary. That cost these one star.Peeling the adhesive "dots" from the carrier sheet was fairly easy and positioning them onto the backs of the feet wasn't too bad, even for my shaky, old hands but getting the backing paper off the "dots" after sticking them onto the feet was a bit "challenging". Hint: thoroughly wash your hands before handling the "dots" so skin oil won't compromise adhesion.After sticking the "dots" onto the feet and removing that pesky backing paper, I found it easiest to gently place each foot, one at a time, on the bottom of the mouse close to where it needs to go, gently nudge to where you want it to go, then firmly press the foot onto the mouse. So far, the feet have been staying put just fine but, if the adhesive ever fails, I can replace it with 3M 0.006" thick VHB tape. That stuff will pretty much never let go.Update: After two months of heavy, daily use, the feet do not show any signs of wear and the mat barely shows any wear, definitely not enough to increase friction. I do have to clean the pad once a week to remove potentially wear inducing friction but the pad should last a year and the feet will probably outlast several pads.I did replace the original adhesive dots with 3M .006" VHB tape. While the original dots hold well, the VHB tape is pretty much permanent (it can be removed with isopropyl alcohol) and is thinner. The VHB tape is trickier to apply and trim but you have to do it only once. I also used the VHB on the rest of the rodents I've converted to these feet. I also found filing off the old feet ridges was easier (and safer) than using a chisel. I'll eventually get around to converting the rest of the herd (I'm using the feet I still need to buy as fillers to run small purchases up to $25 to qualify for free shipping).Update 2: After seven months more heavy daily use, the feet on the mouse I use daily still show pretty much no wear (it takes a magnifying glass to just barely see tiny scratches on the surface. I'm still using the same plastic hard mat and, even though I can see signs of wear on it, the feet still glide as well as when new and the mat still has plenty of life left.Update 3: After a year of use on two of the mice I put these feet on, I can't see any wear on any of the feet and they still work just like new. Even under a magnifying glass, I can barely see some tiny, light scratches.Update 4: After over two years of heavy daily use, the feet are finally showing some wear (I've added a couple of photos) but they still are as slick as ever and i'm still using the same rat mat.I had a 10 year + old mouse start going bad on me (the wheel click switch was wearing out). Being the cheap old broad I am, since the ceramic feet still looked good as new, I pried off the ceramic mouse feet and restuck them to the replacement mouse using 3M 6 mil VHB tape. How many mouse feet can you do that with?The fact that these feet are so durable and are reusable was enough to upgrade my rating to five stars despite the extra expense of the over the top packaging that had initially cost a star.I'm also still using the hard plastic rat mat that was somewhat worn out when I started using these feet. I just clean it every couple of months or so using an electronics cleaner sprayed onto some tissue paper and reapply a very light coat of silicon spray. I use a quick spritz of silicon spray onto some more tissue paper and lightly wipe it onto the mat since too much will make the mat too slick and the mouse will scamper off at the lightest touch.
