This is one of those products that you really do not regret buying. I have been using low friction tape for two years now and the only problem I have now is that I cannot play games without them on my mouse.

Simply, the padsurfers are low friction tape that you stick on the feet of your mouse, enabling a much, much smoother movement.

They come is small strips and you just have to cut them to the right size, peel off the backing and then whack them on your mouse feet. It makes me wonder why mice are not made with teflon covered feet or something similar and the difference is simply stunning. It is quite possible that you feel that you get a good movement with your mouse right now even if it has dirt free feet, but there is so much difference.

I made a quick video of how easily my mouse moves across my mousemat. Sorry it is bad quality bit the file size is small so you can't have everything.

You can see that I am only giving the lightest touch with my fingers to flick it from side to side.

The feet stay very clean from my experience and also seem to be very hard wearing. Eventually I think I will need to replace them but they are very cheap so no problem here paying a small amount for something that gives a genuine performance and experience boost.

I hadn't really heard of this kind of product until 2 years ago when a friend sent me some to test out and now I really cannot be without them. It is pretty hard to explain how good these things are, and if you are not convinced yet then I urge you to beg or borrow or find a friend that uses them and see for yourself. I can guarantee that you will be satisfied with the result and be hooked.
