How To Properly Install Mouse Feet (Corepads, Tiger Arc 1s, 2s, Ice, Hyperglides) on Any Mouse
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- I often see people having LOD (Lift Off Distance) issues after installing aftermarket mouse feet on their mouse of choice, and this is usually why. Also, I'm really sorry if my hand blocked any of the footage, and I'm also sorry for my nasty looking deskpad that really doesn't look that bad off camera, the camera truly picks up every detail!

One very important thing I forgot to point out, the sensor ring has the black adhesive around it too! I removed it off camera and forgot to mention it. Once you get the sensor ring up, you’ll see 6 small dots similar to screw holes. This is very easy to miss and I originally did in the video myself, so make sure you see the 6 small holes before putting the sensor ring on. It’s a pain to remove, so remember to be patient and gentle, and not to point tweezers towards the sensor if you’re using them. :D
Yo u gave me a lil heartattack when i took it off bc i thought i did something wrong 😂
Seince u didn’t put it in the video I wasted a sensor ring thanks! Should have put it in the vid otherwise good tutorial.
@@Braedennnn thats why i made this pinned comment, i didn't realize it until afterwards.
@@themouselady275 oooof I rarely go into the comments and there’s one above yours by donuts 95 it didn’t show up under the vid😓
@@Braedennnn no worries. I’ll likely make a new updated tutorial soon and will make sure I don’t miss that part. Sorry about your sensor ring!
No BS, straight to the point. Tells you what to do, what to watch out for.
Couldn't be better 11/10
IMPORTANT note: The second layer of adhesive on the top skate is also present on the circular sensor skate. Make sure you take off the second layer of adhesive around the sensor too or your skates will be uneven.
i have a pinned comment already about the sensor ring, thanks for the comment though incase someone misses it!
@@themouselady275 Oh my bad I completely missed that 😅😅😅😅
@@blxzing1201 no problem at all :D
Excellent video - really helped me greatly. It might seem like a simple concept, but many small things can go wrong and now I did it perfect thanks to you :)
This tutorial was exactly what I needed! Thank you so much for taking the time to make it.
this was very helpful. thank you so much, for years i have just been putting new mouse feet on top of my old ones. you are the first person that actually explained how it should be done correctly. thank you!
This tutorial helped so much, I watched another that didn't say anything about the ptfe puck and I couldn't tell if I had to take the black adhesive off that as well, so thank you!!
Makes me happy to hear that it helped 😃 no problem, much love!
YOU HAVE JUST SOLVED MY LIFT OFF ISSUES! THANK YOU SO MUCH
This helped me out so much! When I intially did the process i didnt take the black adhesive off and the LOD was terrible. Thank you for this video, it works perfectly now!
YOU Saved MY LIFE. I installed them and then immediately checked your video and found out that i forgot to remove the old black layers! Removed the new ones carefully, removed the old black layers and then reinstalled the new ones
My Superlight and Core pads come tomorrow can't wait to do this! Thanks for the link to that nylon tool I haven't been able to find it anywhere!
thank you. Watching you do it give me the confidence.
still helping people a year later, thank u!
The Second Layer thing is very helpful thank you! I just removed them to maintenance my mouse, and had to learn about that the hard way.
Thank you for the heads up on the extra adhesive. The product i bought had two sets of skates so I re-installed. PHEW!
Thanks for the tip on the black foam adhesive! Although I messed up one of my corepad sets taking them off, my mouse feels so much better now.
A few tips...
If there's sticky adhesive that won't come off, or comes off too slow, mineral spirits is way better to use. It'll turn hard to remove adhesive into easy to remove gel in a few seconds when left on (as in don't apply and immediately wipe off).
THEN use alcohol to wipe off clean.
One more tip. it's a good idea to keep a bottle of 99% Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) around, it removes residue better and has less water which means it evaporates with less residue left behind. Comes in handy for many things electronic.
I dropped my phone in water, completely submerged, (removed batt.) and immediately put it in container with 99%IPA (so phone was completely covered) and the IPA replaces the water. I put my phone up right for a minute to drain IPA and then flat in a warm place. This way I didn't have to worry about mist/condensation between the screens that you can't get to as it was the 99% IPA and evaporated without leaving water spots on the inside of the screen.
Thanks for the tips. I just used the alcohol pad that came with the feet, but I’ll try 99% next time.
Spilled soda in my PC one time, 99% Isopropyl Alcohol saved me from having to buy a new GPU and motherboard. It completely saved the motherboard, however GPU was dead. Good thing was I was able to clean out my GPU well enough that they RMA'd it and replaced it because they couldn't tell there was liquid damage whiich is not covered in RMA's.
It's also worth to mention that salts and minerals from water is what conduct electricity the most, and if the residue is there, it might still break electronics. So besides soaking in IPA, it's good to actually flush out as much as you can. If you don't have IPA, you can do it with demineralized water, I saved my keyboard with it. Years later, it's still working perfectly.
Your humour reminds me of a smarter, and female version of boardzy 😂
🤣 that’s wild , you’re the second person who has told me I remind them slightly of boardzy lately
@@themouselady275 wow 😂 do a collab with him maybe? For a funny skit review or smtg.
Hopefully not as filthy as boardzy
*humor
what humor?
This helped me so much, Thank you! The extra adhesive layer was bugging me so much.
glad it helped! :D
Great job explaining how to install the corepads! Liked and watched all the way through and looking forward to the next stream 👀
Great tutorial, precise and straightforward
Really well explained and most definitely helpful video, thank you heaps : D
Girl you save my life with that video!! Thanks a loooottttt,I'm from Brazil by the way 🇧🇷🇧🇷
I just bought this mouse with corepadz and this helped a bunch!! Thanks!
omg thanks for this video i thought i wasd going crazy for so long that my mouse sensor was faulty had zero clue there was another level of plastic i had to remove
thanks a lot for this video, I didn't know I had to take the black things off aswell and I just wondered why is my mouse not movin smoothly, this video explained everything.
Aw this helped. I had played valorant with the Ice feet on the black adhesive for 1-2hrs and I was like this feels off... but maybe its a placebo. THen i found this video and posted on MouseReview to confirm that I had put on the feet wrong. They do feel solid and more flat now. The middle part is unfortunately kind of scratchy cause of being uneven. Thanks for the video.
Good video, no need to apologize so often!
Thank god i watched this video before installing my skates, thanks
Just changed mine! thanks. Almost didnt realize the sensor had adhesive on it as well.
Followed this for my g pro wireless worked flawlessly thanks!
I’m so glad I found this video 😭
tells no bs, great video, thanks
I didnt know about the blach adhesive! thanks for telling me
Hey thanks for this; just modded out my Burst Core and put some core pads on there!
Burst Core is amazing! Nice choice!
Go ahead and ask me how many times I bought feet and not realizing the black layer of adhesive was preventing all of the feet from working properly 😂 thank you life saver
A great upgrade
I only saw your video after pasting the mouse feets without removing the second black layer. What do I do? I remove the new mouse feets and try to remove the second layer and paste again or do I leave it anyway?
Take the feet off and remove the black layer otherwise you’ll have lift off distance issues
I play only Val and I need more control and precision I use a Corsair $40 mousepad and a super light with superglide but my aim in Val is terrible because it’s too smooth and I feel like I have no precision/control which pads should I buy?
Well done, good instructions i followed your steps and they are installed perfectly 💯
amazing, just put these on my g502, works like a charm with my 5 year old qck heavy :-)
Hi I got my g pro x super light recently but haven’t gotten my mouse pad yet because it’s still delivering I’m currently using paper but noticed these tiny scratches on the skates. Is that fine and would it affect the performance? Also I’m currently using stacked paper as my mouse pad sooooo yea it would be helpful if you respond
Do you just mean you see lines on the bottom of the skates like all going in the same direction or actual scratches in the feet?
@@themouselady275 I’m not sure if you have Instagram I can send you a picture of what I mean
@@lunakk I don’t sadly. But since you have a mousepad on the way, you should be fine. The feet shouldn’t be super damaged from a stack of paper I wouldn’t think. But I would buy after market skates to have ready if you’re able to.
@@themouselady275 my main point here really is I’m wondering if these small scratches would have a impact because if they do I can get my replacement like rn
@@lunakk if you don’t feel anything strange when swiping your mouse, no. But the stock feet are terribly thin so I can’t say long term since they can wear down within a months time depending on use. I’d get the replacements now for sure.
500 like is mine :D Great video! So looks like the main thing is to clean adhesive from the old skates...
was very helpful, thank you so much!
Regular gpro wireless (first model) also have 2 layers of feets/plastic? Thanks.
Yep :) you’ll know it’s removed when you see screws on the inserts. For me, the regular GPWs feet came off in 1 peel with the black adhesive sticking to the layer on top of it.
@@themouselady275 Nice, greetz from Brazil!
Hello! I just got sent some corepads v2 for the superlight and mine didn't come with any alcohol wipes. Don't know if that is normal or if I misinterpreted what you said in the video. What should I use to clean the mouse after removing the skates? Should I use rubbing alcohol? I haven't started replacing them yet btw so I still have the stock feet on lol
It should have came with some, weird. Rubbing alcohol on a cloth should be fine. Just make sure you don’t get it on the sensor :)
@@themouselady275 Thank you! I might go and pick up some lens wipes from the store, I just watched BeardedBob's review of the corepads v1 and that's what he used instead of the included wipes. Thank you so much for the speedy response! I love your videos!
@@briangarrick9693 it’s Deff always good to keep some bulk wipes, I should do the same thing! And no problem :D thank you so much for the support!
had no fucking clue there was a second layer to my x superlight. appreciate the nice and easy how to
Of course! Glad it helped you!
I didn't either and couldn't figure out why I was getting tracking issues as I just got an artisan mousepad as well so I thought it was a problem with the sensor reading the pad. After a short google and 1 set of core pads lost I figured it out and tracking is now perfect.
so glad mine came worh 2 sets cause i’ve been having lift off distance problem
Is mouse feet replacement a thing? Should I worry about it?
I love you man
What if I put new arc 2 on my gpx and I noticed one side of the top foot is higher than the other (just a little). Is it going to be bad for my sensor?
Ty fir the tutorial this still helps in 2024
Hey that was really good and to the point.
Thank you, this video helped a lot :)
Thank you for this!
Subbed
2024 here! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
great vid!
thank you, now i can have better slides, appreciate it!
there is tape around the glides do u take that off too?
Thank you, this really helped me out
Which of the 3 tiger feet do you prefer the most and what is the diff between arc 1 and 2? Im planning to order ice and either 2 or 1.
Not too sure about 1s, but 2s are more control based, ice feet are all speed.
Hi, why don't you use the extra round slider? I had stock glides and i dont know if is better to use the extra supplement.
Cuz for me it doesn’t make any difference whatsoever In glide and the puck doesn’t actually make contact with the pad :) and I prefer to make the mouse as light as possible without doing a weight reduction. It’s all preference tho, so if you wanna use it, go for it :)
Hi lady, is the glide really better with this exchange?
10000000%. it's one of the best mods you can do to this mouse. the stock feet are just too thin.
@@themouselady275 I saw a video here on youtube changing to GPRO Hyperglides....maybe even better!
@@W00DSHAP3R hyperglides are also like double/triple the price of corepads. Not worth it IMO, plus you have to wait a really long time to receive them depending on where you buy them. You’re of course welcomed to try which ever feet you wish :) good luck :D
u need to stop apologizing !!!!! sall good :) other than that great video.
would you reccomend the corepadz to someone who has never used a product like this before? are they worth it?
Yeah for sure :) corepads in my experience In comparison to the Tiger Arc 2s & Tiger Ice feet are a balance between speed and control with the TA2s being more control based, and the Ice being more speed based. I love corepads, I think you would too :)
Can I install the stock skates again if ever I don't like it.
if i have hair pieces inside my sensor should i just blow them out??
My mouse is brand new what's the point in replacing the feet?
What I would really like to know is what type of glue can I use for my new mouse feet in case I need it? The thing is that I bought new sets of Tiger Glides Ice both for my RVU and GPxSL and the biggest compliant on the reviews is that sometimes 1 or even two of the set have no glue layer on them. I haven't checked mine out yet, so I'm curious about what is the best type of glue to use in order to be able to swap these feet too when I have to without too much of a trouble because I don't really want to bother with sending the feet back in this case.
Thank you for the help it was a great video and helped me do amazing
What if you don’t like the pads that you get and wanna go back to the stock feet?
Hey I have a question, do you know if the Tiger Arc 1s come with alcohol wipes? and if not what would you recommend? I have the whoosh screen cleaner that I use to clean my mouse with wondering if that could work.
They did when I bought a set recently, but sometimes it’s a hit or a miss depending where you buy them. Whenever I get them from lethal gaming gear they come with the wipes. If not tho, just any isopropyl wipe or just alcohol on a paper towel will suffice :) you can try the whoosh, as long as the sticky residue is removed you’re good :)
@@themouselady275 thanks so much! :)
What is the mousepad you are using?
Great tutorial, thank you.
theres like little scratches on my mouse feet when I shine them under light, is that normal?
Yep.
Thank you :)
Stupid question but if you put the glide pad on the puck, will that affect charging? I have the powerplay pad as well so just wondering if anyone has done this before
would corepadz work on the new final mouse shoes coming out?
they will turn them into Heeley's!
So what's your favorite skates so far for the superlight. Great video btw :)
Thank you! 😃 and for the Superlight I’ve only tried corepads so far, but I’m deff gonna get some ice feet for it once lethal restocks them. But 90% of the time I prefer corepads it seems on all my mice.
What are those keycaps that looks hot ngl
The keyboard on the left have the Gskill Crystal Crown keycaps in black, keeb on the right has Drop MT3 White on Black keycaps.
@@themouselady275 Thanks!
my country's online store doesnt sell the design for my mouse (pulsefire haste) is it ok to use another mousefeet's design on my pfh?
You could sand down the inserts on the bottom of your mouse and use any feet you wanted, just double check the thickness of the feet on the pulsefire haste when you buy other feet for it.
@@themouselady275 thank you!
Thanks mouse lady
thanks bro this is fire
damn the white GPXW looks so clean, I wish i could find a white one ins tock when I got mine a week or so ago.
Weird ass question, do you happen to know if the top single skate for a standard GPW would work on the GPXW? I bought a 2 pack of feet for my GPW and it *seems* to me like it would nestle in the top curve of the GPXW but idk if maybe you happen to have tried it before and know whether it will work.
It might be able to actually. Could always give it a try
@@themouselady275 My only worry is since I don't have a set of *actual* GPXW skates at the moment I don't want to take the stocks off and find out It doesn't fit.
That being said... SCIENCE! I'll get back to you on if it works or not lmao
@@themouselady275 Ok so they fit, however they are a tad bit thinner, so if you tend to push the mouse into the pad I would not recommend putting GPW skates on a GPXW.
You also can't really run the stock puck, I can feel a tad bit of scratchy-ness because the edges aren't rounded on the stock feet.
other than that they fit, the top skate has a tiny bit of a gap in 2 spots, but I do mean tiny. sensor ring fits fine, and the 3 singles fit perfectly as well, which I kind of figured they would.
Honestly biggest issue with me swapping the feet is that I am a dumbass and used a knife, so there is a small scratch on the bottom of my mouse now xD
Overall I give this a 6/10. good in a pinch, but honestly if you have the $10 and WANT different skates (the stock ones aren't too bad after some break in hours IMO) just spend the $10 on new skates. Now i just need to make up my damn mind on which skates to get for it
I had orderd from Amazon the same ones however the sensor was having trouble responding and I took the second layer off what could the problem be
Are you positive you removed the second layer on the top skate, sensor, and bottom skate? I mistakenly didn’t realize until after I uploaded the video to YT that the sensor has the 2nd layer on it also so I pinned a comment mentioning it. If you removed the second layer on all 3 inserts, you may wanna RMA the mouse or see if there’s something like hair near the sensor making it feel off. Good luck! :)
@@themouselady275 yes i am sure it is only the top skate though
Do you not use that big middle think on the back of the superlight? Or do you use it?
I do not, it doesn’t actually make contact with the pad.
@@themouselady275 oh so you use your mouse without the big circular thing on the back? Also I’m looking to get some ice feet or something so when I get them should I use it without the circular thing? Will it damage the mouse without the thing?
@@collectorianiv6854 you don’t need the puck insert no, it won’t cause any damage.
great tutorial
Wait !
So if you firs time doing this with a new mouse, you need to remove the original balck teflon feets from the mouse ?????? This is why my mouse not working if I take the corepads skatez to the original mouse feet ?
Yes, the black layer must be removed.
@@themouselady275 You saved me !
Thank you so much
Great video 😊
idk why but the black base left another layer of clue and some other shit on my mouse which i cant clean with the alcohol pad. idk what to do xd
thank you i was avery scared to do somthing wrong thank you
Im using the hyperslides for g pro wireless and they're making a weird scratchy noise. Any ideas on how to fix? I've taken off the adhesive and stuff and I can see the screws.
They need to break in if you just put them on
@@themouselady275 I'm actually using an old set. yesterday, the middle sensor skate was breaking so I replaced it with the hyperslides. The reason I didn't have them on before was cause i didn't even realize there was a skate for the sensor part.
@@themouselady275 Also are you supposed to peel off the bottom part?
cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/819483729683677215/878139247113175040/image0.jpg
Under it is another layer of adhesive im pretty sure
@@themouselady275 Nvm it turns out the mouse skates were just really worn out. i just replaced them and everything is fine
Great tutorial
didnt realise that second layer of adhesive, fumin
Thank you! :) Straight forward no timewaste.
That's very informative.
what if I don't remove that second layer
i cant get the protection film off one of the skates
THIS IS WHY MY MOUSE HAS BEEN FEELING UNEVEN
great video thank you
Video helped a lot! thx!!!
