Replacement mouse "feet"/skates

[Emultra]

I was directed to these links by the Logitech support (I have an MX518): http://www.slicksurf.com/ , http://www.corepad.com/index.php?pagina=artikel&id=44 , http://hyperglide.net/?hg=mx_skates_1

Has anyone tried any of these mouse gliders? Perhaps even several? I want to know which ones are the best. I don't use a mouse mat at the moment, only my wooden desk.

None of the above. I use Everglide replacement feet. I have a Razer mouse, but Everglide does make them for the Logitech MX518 too. I think the price is usually $10 for 5 sets of four feet at Buy.com, with free shipping.

"Buy.com ships within the continental United States, Alaska and Hawaii only." :/

Sweden sucks.

I've tried out Teflon mouse feet before and they worked out pretty well, especially on wooden surfaces. Each set lasted me over a year. Purchased them from SVC.com several years ago.

However, since then I've purchased a nice cloth mousepad and have never had to use mouse feet again. The bottom of my mouse still looks pristine. I use an MX Revolution.

This is no joke:

If you are tight on time or money, or just want to experiment, a plastic milk jug (empty, or course) and some glue will get you right.

Just another helpful hint from KGBMAN.

Logitech also recommended me to http://www.slicksurf.com/ and the others. I purchased these pads for my Logitech MX 1000. These are absolutely amazing. Being an avid gamer, I like to have my mouse move smoothly with little to know resistance. With the Slick Surf Mouse feet, my mouse now moves around as if it were on ice.. truly amazing.

At least with a decent quality optical mouse and a mouse pad, they seem to last forever. I have two of them, one from logitec and the other made by microsoft. I note the microsoft mouse I got eight years ago and the one I mainly use has two of its feet totally worn off, the bar code is badly worn, but it keeps going and going. A few times its got some gunk in its window, but that is easily cleaned.

My wife, has not had equal luck with optical mice. Her mouse buttons seem to fail on her. After trying a sports logo optical mouse where the buttons failed, my wife got an equally expensive microsoft mouse and the buttons again failed in a year. I got a new computer six months ago, with a smaller optical mouse thrown into the package. I have never used it because the larger microsoft mouse just seems to fit my hand by now.

But still, a heck of a better concept than a track ball mouse, cleaning track balls and rollers all the time was a pain.

I got some teflon stick-on feet from frozenCPU.

I have the MX520. Damn good mouse.

i used to get rolls of ptfe teflon tape from cdhyde. they used to sell precuts as well. haven't been back in a while, a roll lasts a long long time.

What do the razors come with to begin with?

My Razor Copperhead, glides way smoother than my Logitech MX 518.
I'd love to get what the Razor mouse has on it for my Logitech.

I want to replace the teflon mouse pads with micro rollers so the mouse will move smoother. Does anyone know where I can find micro rollers that I can stick on instead of the teflon pads?

Resurrecting a 7 year old necro post is not the best way to go. I believe your question is, can you convert an existing muse to a roller mouse? I don't think so.
