How to make your own Rounded (Teflon) PTFE Mouse Feet / Skates

[@mattguzman4037]

Although I am over a year late to this being posted, I decided to buy some because I did not want to make my own. For anyone that is on the fence or in the same position as me, I highly recommend buying if you're needing that little push to buy. Very well made, and the packaging is very nice. These also glide/slide/move (whatever word you want to use) so much better than hyperglides or hotline skates. They are not scratchy either. Another huge positive about having these as mouse feet is that you can remove the originals, and make sure to place these in spots that don't cover the screws. Very useful if you are taking or plan to take apart your mouse to mod it often. When you first get them, they are a bit slow, but give it about "1 day" or a good playing session, and they will speed up. The glide on these is amazing.

My mouse skates are PTFE but should I still buy this?

[@AaronBowley]

im glad this showed up on my feed.

[@microwavegommmm916]

Legendary mate. I really like the 1mm thick skates that came with my Lamzu Atlantis but nowhere makes feet that thick. This is a great guide

[@MrBenderrrr]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!! You are part of the people who make this world great.

[@ramzzi1]

Good informative video, I appreciate the shoutout aswell!

[@grant5864]

Damn the PTFE sheet is $50 now...

[@grubhub5524]

tbh scotch tape works just fine.

[@kirdref9431]

Scotch tape (matte) sort of works, but not as low friction as when mouse was new. I'm wondering about plumber's teflon tape, is it better? Will make separate comment also.

[@mattguzman4037]

@@kirdref9431 I have tried it. Does not work well.

[@SrLupinotuum]

Holy crap, It works! thanks

[@valorion1188]

@@SrLupinotuum is it smooth enough?

[@SrLupinotuum]

@@valorion1188 for a while, yes, then they kind of wore off a little, but it is still better than before; bare in mind, my mouse used to drag the mousepad with it sometimes and it still feels kind of janky, but it's good enough for studing and playing non-competitive games.

[@FranciscoRestivo96]

Thit kind of thing makes me hate the world. I've already destroy my mouse feets trying to fix the main cable. That was amazing.

[@NinjaContravaniaManX]

That's excatly what I was looking for, gonna try that out soon!

[@hrvojepopovic4968]

Nice! Have zero questions to ask after the video.

[@fm5m482]

Great video man! How long do you press the dots for before taking them out? Or is it just instant?

[@Idea789]

thank you for the tips. in my case i bought ptfe sheet 1mm then cut it with paper prong tool.

[@GIacius]

so, I bought replacement mouse feet for my g9x and corepad* changed their formula to a slower version (?). now I'm looking up this and these are out of stock. my god man.

[@nzxcsgo]

How do you separate those magnets after they stick together? I guess those 2 are making 40kg force each? And what material you put between magnets?

[@Nikitaman]

Nice tutorial! Thank you very much.

[@kirdref9431]

How about plumber's teflon tape, the kind used to create low friction for screwing things onto threads on copper (metal) pipes? Did anyone try it? User Kransetolio commented further down about using scotch tape, peresumably the matte finish tape. It does help, but is not as good as a new mouse. So how about "teflon" tape? UPDATE: The teflon tape I have does not have an adhesive backside, so it is not usable.

[@mateocarelli2202]

DUDE. I am trying the same thing but the tape is really thin.

[@bluein_]

It's like 0.12mm, way too thin.

[@ElMaxiMC_]

Nice!

[@blogJM]

Other than the thickness and shape, is there any difference between a generic PTFE pad vs a branded one like Tiger Ice?

[@martin518441]

shouldn't be any difference

[@broom6958]

I wonder why those magnetic hooks dont push each other away since they are both in the same orientation.

[@Atezian]

Thanks. Need to replace the skates on corsair scimitar...

[@generalyido]

Jokes on you I have a cat. (So a lot of hair I can't see on my mouse pad until it eventually gets caught and scratches the everliving crap out of my mouse skates.)

[@dopepez8131]

can i use a normal paper puncher?

[@themouselady275]

trying to cut my own right now with that same tool hammering it but the tool wont cut through the feet. how long do you hammer it until it makes a cut?

[@jaberalsabah271]

What if either than little circles I cover the whole bottom? What would happen?

[@tombox1236]

If you cover the whole bottom with as many PTFE dots as possible, then it'll just last longer and weigh more compared to just sticking 4-8 on.

[@ConteXCrown]

how can i differentiate the two kids of hole puncher? (I live in the EU, the amazon links are useless for me)

[@diabolik5362]

just look for the ones that have the mushroom domes as he mentioned. it helps to round the edges of the teflon which is exactly what you want. the hollow ones are straight and will make those straight flat cuts as he showed in the video

[@houdinux5116]

Hello, are the magnets necessary ? can't you just squeeze it hard between 2 hard platform ? great video btw, planning on doing my own feet for razer viper.

[@alexyt2]

I believe that any kind of press would work, as long as you can flatten the dome created by the hole-punch. If you were to use some other means, I would still do all the dots at once so that they end up with the same height. One clear advantage of the magnets is that they apply the same pressure every time, so you don't have to worry about one batch of dots being higher than others.

[@rainxyzz]

Have you ever heard of the 9x thor By fantech can you make a tutorial on that if can

[@TehSexySquad]

Hey man, hopefully you see this, but was adding the 3m vinyl wrap particularly hard?

[@marcosemmanuelmino835]

How is called that thing in spanish?, I don't found that thing here in Argentina :c

[@tombox1236]

I usually sell on eBay, but I haven't made any lately. I can start making new ones and post them up for sale again. I think eBay allows me to ship to Spain with their shipping program.

[@Aithey]

What kind of hammer do you use for this? Looks like you're using a mallet of some kind and not a metal one

[@fantt]

how you did this hot skoll mod, loved it so much

[@Thomas-fk6ep]

It's 3M 1080 Vinyl Wrap. I might make a How-To Video. Stay tuned.

[@JRBpsychopathic]

No one is going to ask how they got the teflon to stick? Oh, alrighty then.

[@tombox1236]

There's 3M adhesive on the back of it.

[@n646n]

@@tombox1236 They aren't available in Canada. Alternative?

[@SianaGearz]

I believe they chemically or plasma etch the backside, which for one breaks down Teflon and makes it less non-stick; and for other creates pockets in which other material (adhesive or primer) can lock into.

[@jerohlee]

can I ask how do you make the cut perfect?

[@heisenberg650]

It works for the FK1, lift off distance?

[@krishank8332]

I use carbon fiber wrap instead?

[@Boemtie]

Dude you are selling these but at a price of 8 dollars for 8 pieces its way to expensive, you can get tiger skates for like 2-3 dollars?great idea to do it yourself though!

[@tombox1236]

I'd lose money if I sold it at 2 or 3 dollars a set. With eBay fees, shipping, and manual labor, I'm barely make any money at 8 bucks a pop.

How do I prevent my mouse feet to not scratch after 1 month of use, I’m using a hard mousepad

[@tombox1236]

Hard pad eats mouse feet a lot faster. The great thing is you can make a bunch of these, or buy them, and replace them easily.

What mouse are you using? I've had no problems with this on G Pro Wireless, Skoll, Hati, G900, Microsoft Intellimouse Pro, and Wicked Bunny Rapid RGB. Maybe use a stronger magnet to flatten it down more.

[@MrBaritonefreak]

what mallet are you using? what surface are you using to not damage the leather punch? how do you make sure the adhesive back doesn't come off on the magnets? what reddit posts are you referring to? does this work with other mouse feet sheets like tiger gaming or hotline? already wasted money ruining one punch and a teflon sheet but I guess it's easier to pedal your own product than to provide good instructions. nice marketing I guess

[@martin518441]

you can use a led surface to punch it out as led is a soft metal you won't ruin your punch that way , otherwise you can use a wood cutting board , I have been doing that and haven't damamged my 0.7$ chinese hole punch, fort the adhesive I just used regulat old double sided tape and it's held up with no problems for 4 months now
