I love my meeces to pieces. Who used to say that anyhow? Anyway I love my mouse. It's a Logitech MX518 gaming mouse and it's the best mouse I've ever had. I get this gummy crap built up on the feet and have to scrape it off sometimes. I'm not sure what it's from. The other day it was really dragging bad. When I flipped it over one of the feet was missing. Another one had super glue holding it on. So I checked out Logitech site and they don't have replacement pads for sale. But they did recommend a place. It's called slicksurf.com.

I went to their site and they actually had 2 different size pads for mine. A standard one and some thin ones about 1/2 the stock pad thickness. So I bought a set. It was $3.99 and $1 for shipping. Sent snail mail and took a little less than a week to get here. They have different shapes and sizes for a lot of different models. Check them out if you got a need for mouse feet. They are angryhippy approved.

>> Re: Mouse Feet

That's pretty good Payton! I used to use the Teflon strips on my very first mouse.
But I soon realised, it was the crappy mouse mat I'd at the time.
I haver the Razor Copperhead mouse, and it has the best teflon feet ever!
I also have the Everglide Titan Mouse mat (which's f**kin HUUUUUUUUGE) and it has this
really good material. Both have contemplated each other beautifully!

But yea, that link you posted is a good one, and innovative so big up to that! ;)

where are they located???

I hate it when someone sets up a e-tailer and then hide where they are.... the only form of contact is via email....


also, what are the pads made off?

They look like they are made up of the same stuff the old pads were, except they are white.

since they offer the standard (.030") and thin (.015") thickness.... why would one want the thin? you would think that by using the thin that you would end up having to replace them quicker the next go around...


I think I may try a set for my Logitech MX Revolution...

Nice!

Anybody know of a good place for replacement laptop rubber feet? The only suggestion I've seen so far is "go to the hardware store, etc," but those are just generic round pads.

My laptop has little grooves for the feet, so I want something that is made to fit their size.

Maybe the laser tracks better closer to the surface?

All mouse feet are made of teflon. Or to be more precise, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
This comes in thicknesses of 0.025mm (adhesive Teflon strips that curl horribly) to the
1.0mm thick pads that are fitted the mouse during manufacture.

I once tried the strips. They were a pain. More trouble than they were worth.
I'm glad the guy on the link you provided came up with his idea. Much better
