Durable mouse feetskatesslides?

Post » Sat Jul 21, 2012 10:27 pm

Hi! I recently bought a new mouse (Mionix Naos 3200). It's a really great mouse in general, and feels very comfortable, and high quality. It was kind of pricy though (around 65 $). The only bad thing about it is that it apparently got really bad mouse feet/skates/slides. They're really big, but not durable. Mine are worn out after2 DAYS of normal usage. So now, they're worn out unevenly, so the mouse "hacks" because of the uneven friction at fast movements.

So, I'm looking for some durable mouse feet/skates/slides now and wonder if anyone knows any. They don't have to have perfect glide, just decent... and last really long (years) because I don't want to spend muc more money than I've already had. I live in Sweden so the product has to be available to get here online (and the shipping costs can of course not be too expensive...). I have an icemat mousepad (material: glass). They also can't be in any kind of shape, as you can see here's my mouse: http://www.mionix.net/datas/users/naos_3200_5_0_0.png

So far I've found one that sounds good (but very expensive, about 12 $ just for friggen mouse feet)... http://www.maxfps.se/product_view.aspx?productid=3272
But I don't know how durable they are.

Any tips are appreciated, thanks!

Might have something to do with your mouse mat, couldn't it? I've never had one in glass, nor would I want to have one.
I can imagine it would tear up your mouse feet quite quickly.

That's possible (the harder the material, the easiers it wears out... but two days is a joke), but it's a great mouse mat in general (I've had it for many, many years). I also had a microsoft mouse before for like 3 years using the same mouse mat, and with no problems with the mouse feet during those years...
I've also read a few other comments from people using the same mouse that they had to replace the mouse feet very quickly.

I bought a new mousemat in plastic yesterday too, but I had to return it because it was worse than my icemat (the mouse tracked worse and I noticed the hacky mouse-feet problem much more, and the mouse pad was just uncomfortable).

Well, the I have no idea. I've never had to change the feet of my mouse.
Sorry, I can't really help then.
