PTFE & UHMWPE Dot Mouse Skates are low-friction pads are designed to replace the stock feet on a mouse, providing smoother gliding and reducing friction on various surfaces. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to apply and remove these essential accessories.
Applying PTFE/UHMWPE Mouse Skates:
- Prepare Your Desk: Find a clean and well-lit area to work in. Make sure you have all the necessary tools: replacement skates, tweezers/pry tool/fingernail, rubbing alcohol, and a microfiber cloth. Most of the time, some of these or alternatives may provided with skate sets.
- Clean the Mouse: Use the microfiber cloth dampened with rubbing alcohol, or the included alcohol pads, to thoroughly clean the bottom of your mouse. Remove any dirt, grease, or residue that may affect the adhesion of the new skates.
- Remove Old Skates (if applicable): If your mouse already has existing skates, carefully peel them off using your fingernail, tweezers or a pry tool. Take your time to avoid damaging the surface of the mouse. If you’re having issues, be sure to check out our guide below.
- Apply New Skates: Take one of the new skates and carefully align it with the corresponding area on the bottom of your mouse. Press down firmly to ensure proper adhesion. Repeat this step for each skate, making sure they are evenly spaced and aligned.
- Press It to Set It: Allow the adhesive on the skates to fully set for a few moments, and then flip the mouse over to the right side up. Next, put your hand on your mouse like you usually would when gaming and gently push downwards.
