Teflon Mouse Feet

Supposed to work pretty well.

it works but if the edges of the tape start peeling, it sucks
 
Best Buy sells it, I think BFG is the maker. I think I paid 8 bucks, the pack has like 22 disc's (small size) popped 5 on my MX900 and made a huge difference. Worth the 8 bucks I spent.

 
Teflon (PTFE) tape works OK. The original gliders are better due to thickness.

Without a doubt the best I've seen was where a user had a pair of PTFE spheres (6mm) chopped in half and these were fastened to the underside of the mouse. With optical mice, they can fly several mm above the reading surface. That's exactly what this did and the mouse moved with minimal effort.

That'd be awesome, yup.
