Hi

[medar]

I wanna change my mouse feet/gliders/skates whatever u call them. Is it possible to use the gliders from my old mouse and just slap them on the bottom of my new mouse? Would that work?

Assuming you mean the gliding feet, yes. It could work.

 

• Make sure the 'new'/old gliders are the only points of contact between the mouse and the surface.
• Be sure to cut them to size and be aware they fit might not be allright. Because most mice actually have shapes inside the body to accomodate the gliders.
• Probably need some kind of adhesive to stick them, because otherwise they will fall of again.
• Might not stay whole/smooth when tearing them of the old mice.

Good luck.

Yikes. Have you tried some Acetone? It might dissolve the glue.
