Just in case anyone's in the same boat as I was, I use an mx700 wireless optical mouse, and recently I noticed the 5 'feet' were getting worn away, leading to the mouse dragging... I tried everywhere for replacement feet, but apparently you can't get them... Then I came across 'Mouse Skatez'.... It's basically little strips of teflon tape that you put over the mouse feet... It's the dog's b****x.... Mouse glides perfectly now... Got it from everglide.co.uk if anyone's interested, around a fiver for two strips...

Hi,

i can second that. i used them in extension to the usual glide strips on my old cable mouse. Best thing is that if they break you can replace them simply again..

use a cloth pad like an allsop, no wear and tear that way

I used to use a cloth one, but I prefer the hard pad, just find the mouse drags too much on a cloth one.

You can also buy the Contact paper from hardware shops. I have it in black with a wood effect absolutely super for my MX1000 mouse! :salute:

How do you find the mx1000? I've been tempted to get one but have seen a few negative comments about them for gaming use...

its ok, mine just has a little bug..

like once every 20 minutes it moves the cursor down halve screen

else - nice mouse, good performance, not heavy, good sensor and it can be without ac power for 2-3 days

Check out the Mx518 pongo. The 1000 is undoubtedly a very nice mouse but the sensitivity adjustment on the 518 is very handy in BF.

Just had a look at it there on Logitech's website... Looks nice....
I can feel yet another totally unnecessary purchase coming on...

I have an MX500 lying idle because the 518 is so much handier

Trust me, this mouse is one purchase you won't regret, especially if you like hopping in and out of vehicles in BF.
