As some point you will fall in love with a mouse. Unfortunately, that mouse will start to drag, become noisy, and hamper your computing experience. A lot of people will chalk this up to an aging mouse, which is true, but there is a way to fix the problem. Using some Teflon tape you can restore the glide back to your mouse.

One question though. Where can you find adhesive teflon tape?

Thank you, friend. My original G5 was just too nice to replace.

I like this idea and I am going to try it, but here is an alternative that I did.

I picked up a really thin cutting board (plasic, not the wax coated paper ones) at my local store.

Removed the old mouse feet traced them onto the cutting board and cut them out (I had to make two for each mouse foot because the cutting board material was very thin).

I took some double sided tape and taped them to the old feet locations on the bottom of my mouse.

Guitar picks also work good.
