How To Properly Install Mouse Feet (Corepads, Tiger Arc 1s, 2s, Ice, Hyperglides) on Any Mouse
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
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 was exactly what I needed! Thank you so much for taking the time to make it.
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 :)
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!
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!
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.
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
YOU HAVE JUST SOLVED MY LIFT OFF ISSUES! THANK YOU SO MUCH
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.
Great tutorial, precise and straightforward
Thank you for the heads up on the extra adhesive. The product i bought had two sets of skates so I re-installed. PHEW!
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
still helping people a year later, thank u!
I just bought this mouse with corepadz and this helped a bunch!! Thanks!
Well done, good instructions i followed your steps and they are installed perfectly 💯
Followed this for my g pro wireless worked flawlessly thanks!
Great job explaining how to install the corepads! Liked and watched all the way through and looking forward to the next stream 👀
Just changed mine! thanks. Almost didnt realize the sensor had adhesive on it as well.
This helped me so much, Thank you! The extra adhesive layer was bugging me so much.
glad it helped! :D
Good video, no need to apologize so often!
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!
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.
thanks bro this is fire
was very helpful, thank you so much!
A great upgrade
Girl you save my life with that video!! Thanks a loooottttt,I'm from Brazil by the way 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thank you for the help it was a great video and helped me do amazing
Thank you for this! Subbed
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
great vid!
I didnt know about the blach adhesive! thanks for telling me
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.
Great tutorial, thank you.
500 like is mine :D Great video! So looks like the main thing is to clean adhesive from the old skates...
Hey that was really good and to the point.
Thank you, this really helped me out
thank you, now i can have better slides, appreciate it!
I’m so glad I found this video 😭
Thank god i watched this video before installing my skates, thanks
Thank you, this video helped a lot :)
so glad mine came worh 2 sets cause i’ve been having lift off distance problem
Hey thanks for this; just modded out my Burst Core and put some core pads on there!
Burst Core is amazing! Nice choice!
That's very informative.
Thanks this helped a lot!
Video helped a lot! thx!!!
thank you i was avery scared to do somthing wrong thank you
amazing, just put these on my g502, works like a charm with my 5 year old qck heavy :-)
Great video 😊
Great tutorial
great tutorial
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thank you! :) Straight forward no timewaste.
I love you man
Thank you :)
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
great video thank you
this was a very helpful video. i just put pulsar superglides on my logitech G PRO X Superlight. made sure all surfaces of the application area was very flat. and the result: mouse creep. i used a level and my desk is out of level. so another task awaits 🤣🤣 [edit:] actually used an electronic level and the desk is definitely off of level.
Thanks mouse lady
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.
very useful thank you
Thank you so much :)
DUDE THANK YOU I WAS LIKE WHY THIS FEET IS NOT SMOOTH THEN I SAW UR VIDEO AND BOUGHT ONE MORE.. NOW ITS SMOOTH AS FK
had massive lod issues with mine, removed the sticky stuff and saw screws. the big pad is waaaayyyy too thick and it's fine for a while but it starts to expand with heat etc
It would be way easier to pull stock glides off by using a hairdryer for a minute (not at full heat ofc) since glue would warm up and liquefy a little, thus having less resistance towards physical action. Also about why you need to use wipes, most adhesives need defatted surface in order to stick to it, be it wood, plastic or any other material, and alcohol does exactly this, not only disinfecting surface, but also making it dry/defatted.
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.
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
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.
nice, thanks
thanks a lots
Ty a lot
Been playing for weeks with that second layer of adhesive on and been having tons of issues lmao new skates will be here tomorrow
Thanks
subbed TY
Tysm
didnt realise that second layer of adhesive, fumin
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?
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?
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 :)
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!
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 :)
❤
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
Thanks for the help!!! When I first installed these core pads I did not remove existing pads🤣(What an idiot🤦♂)
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 really wish the sotck gpw had feet like the super light I wonder if these would work or if youd have issues with the bottom plasic that is slightly raised
You’d have issues and the mouse would be uneven in the back. Would likely cause LOD issues as well.
Wish I could’ve gotten my super light in white but all sold out, so pink it is!’
THIS IS WHY MY MOUSE HAS BEEN FEELING UNEVEN
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?
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.
I think it's also good advice to wash your hands before doing this so dust from your hands doesn't get on the adhesive
Thanks for the tutorial! I don't think you need to be so apologetic. Your content is great. Maybe just ask for feedback in the comments instead?
Haha I appreciate it.
What if you don’t like the pads that you get and wanna go back to the stock feet?
Is mouse feet replacement a thing? Should I worry about it?
if i have hair pieces inside my sensor should i just blow them out??
Hyperglides for the gpro wireless are a bit high, sucks i can't tweak the lod..
thx
Can I install the stock skates again if ever I don't like it.
