where to buy mouse skates or other mouse feets online?

[Maximus96]

when the products costs $3, i dont want to pay $5 to ship it, such as from newegg. where else online can i buy these things for a reasonable shipping price. and also, while we're at it, which feet are the best?

You could always go to your local hardware, DIY type store and buy teflon tape. It's a commonly used plumbing repair tool (wrap it around loosely threaded pipes to provide a tight fit thats easy to unscrew). Should work the same as mouse skates

i have those teflon wraps at home, but how do you tape those to the mouse?

That's exactly the problem, that teflon tape lacks a little something called self adhesive backing.

that is totally not the same thing

the teflon tape used for mouse skates is ptfe. u can look up what that stands for.

the cheapest best place for buying mouse skatz is http://www.cshyde.com/ good selection and they give you a lot for your money unlike other places.

while your at it get yourself a c4 mousepad. great pad its got a thread in peripherals ..and hotdeals if itse still there. was recently in maximum pc magazine. that slick pad with mouse tape = awesome mousing

i just went and bought the 16pack teflon 3/4" mouse discs, for a total of $3.xx shipped. can't beat that price. they also have great prices if you buy in bulk, like 139pack discs for $6. and 1/2"x15'(feet!!) of teflon tape for $6 also. i figure i just try it out with the 16pack since its so cheap and i only need 4 at a time anyways.

near the bottom theres a "mouseware section" if u didn't find it already.


get a sheet of c4 next gen and some tape. either a strip, a roll or precut discs. its just preference. i got a roll a while back. i figure its almost a life time supply lol its the good stuff. some mice have harder less slick mouse feet that don't wear quickly (microsoft), but logitech mice have softer slicker feet that wear away. so either way, best to use the tape for slickness and so u don't have to replace the mouse since gthey don't sell replacement feet. (of course they don't..the bastids). i discovered this place long ago when i got sick of other places like everglide reselling "mouseskatz" with very high markup. couple bux and they'd send u a few inches.. it really blew
