Fliders Replacement Mouse Feet

I don't understand why there are so many negative reviews. Actually, more to the point, I don't understand why there are so many people who misunderstand this product. I was looking for a way to make my mouse glide easier on glass and hardened epoxy desks (which do not play nice with the teflon feet that come on mice). I found this product, purchased it, and applied the felt pads to the bottom of my mouse; they work great! My mouse glides much easier on glass and my wood desk which has been epoxied. Fantastic.Now, back to the negative reviews part: when I was looking to purchase this product, I noticed some people had left negative reviews claiming these do not work on mouse pads. DUH. These are felt mouse feet, and mouse pads are generally also made out of felt or similar fabric, meaning they will OBVIOUSLY not work well together, as 2 fabrics do not glide easily across each-other. These feet are made for hard glossy surfaces that do not play nice with teflon feet, such as glass, plastic, hardened epoxy, etc. When used appropriately, they work wonderfully.

I needed some new mouse feet for my Logitech MX 400 mouse. Unfortunately, I bought these.First, you cannot use a "soft" mousepad (non-plastic surface) with these feet, as the feet are themselves surfaced with fabric. They did not move smoothly across my mouse pad (xtrac pad) which has a soft surface.I put the mousepad aside and just used the mouse on my desk surface, which worked pretty well. Now these mousefeet have my hopes up and I think they'll work after all!Then I made the unfortunate mistake of using the mouse for several hours. The mouse feet very quickly collected lint/dust/whatever making precise mouse movement very frustrating. Can you clean them? Not without peeling off the top layer of the foot. When you to peel/pick the lint off of the foot, you find it also pulls off the part of the surface of the foot, which, you know, was kind of important. Then there's just an exposed sticky surface that makes mouse movement REALLY frustrating, regardless of whether you're trying be precise or not.So then I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. I cleaned my desk and applied four new feet. They lasted a little longer this time, but by the next day they were unusable again.Now I've had the new feet on for a week. The fabric surface has completely worn off three of the feet, leaving the sticky underside. The 4th foot still has some of the fabric left, but it's getting there.I took the feet off and decided to write this review, since the mouse performs FAR better without any feet at all. I'm pretty sure the testimonials on their website are FAKE.

They don't work on soft mouse pads. I could not find a difference from these compared to regular felt pads. Save your money and pickup small low profile felt pads from the hardware store.

These were felt instead of the "slippery plastic" that I expected. Actually made the mouse harder to move. Hard to believe this is even a product.

Well, a few weeks ago my mouse started scratching my desk and moving poorly. I don't want to replace my wireless mouse since it works fine, but the bottom of the mouse is all worn down. I remembered seeing an ad on Facebook for Fliders mouse feet so I came to Amazon (my go to place for all things) and searched. There they were! Reasonably priced I bought some. They shipped promptly. I cleaned the bottom of my mouse and removed the old worn sliders the mouse originally came with, they were worn thru and shredded. Applied the little Fliders and voila! Good as new. Now I did see another reviewer mentioning mouse pad problems. I would not use these with a mouse pad they are a felt like surface. But on a hard surface desk they work wonderful, optical mice absolutely do not require a mouse pad. Had them on for 3-4 weeks with no problem. I am a heavy computer user and have had no issue with them falling off or being sticky. It came with 4 little pads and 6 larger pads, I used 4 of the larger pads, one for each "corner", so there are extra in case of some mousetastrophe.I would recommend this item if you are experiencing sticky mouse syndrome.

Don't bother with these. After a few days of use your mouse will feel draggy because of all the debris this thing collects. And for 9.95 USD? No thanks, will never order again.

Doesn't work, first doesn't work with any mouse pad, but works great on glass if the glass can work with the mouse, They don't stay on and basically wasted money, DON'T BUY

For everyone who is complaining that these don't work on a fabric mouse pad.... you're missing the point. Fliders were specifically designed for people who DON'T use a mouse pad, and want to use the hard surface of their desk instead. They were not designed to work on mouse pads... they were designed to replace the need for a mouse pad on a hard surface. I've been using the strip for quite a while on my Apple Magic Mouse, and for the first several weeks, it works wonderfully. It does start to collect up some dust, but this doesn't impede mouse usage. Do not try to pick off the dust though, as this will peel off a layer of the fabric. They will last 4 to 6 months as long as you don't pick at them. However, I found $10 for 6 months' worth of use to be a high price (I'd be better with $10 a year), so I tried these instead, since you get more pads. Try installing four of these on the Apple Magic Mouse, in each of the four corners of the black strip. You'll still only get about 4 months out of it, but you get enough pads to last all year for the same $10. They work well... but the price point is about double what it should be given their lifespan.
