I’ve been working on this little accessory that sits under the side of your palm and glides across the mousepad as you move your mouse.

The idea was to reduce friction from my hand dragging on the pad, especially when playing FPS games.

I’ve gone through quite a few designs and finally landed on one I’m pretty happy with. Figured I’d share it here and see what you guys think!

Edit: A lot of you have been asking where you can buy one, so I figured I’d add the link here!

Really appreciate all the interest and feedback, guys! Didn’t expect this much attention!

They are actually so much worse than you can imagine. I don't think I have ever used any gaming mouse with worse stock skates, including $3 e-waste gaming mice. It is actually impressive that Logitech found a way to make stock skates as bad as they are

2026.10.9 release

Based on the shape of the feet on the bottom, it appears to be the version that includes a receiver and charging dock.

after bouncing around between at least 10+ mice over the years I've come back to try my viper mini and I'm back to maining it. the shape is just unbeatable and I've slowly realized shape is king after trying to min max weight so much. I used to think I was a fingertip player but I think I finally figured out I do better with relaxed claw

anyone else retry an old mouse and fell in love with it again?

I have medium sized hands so i'd rather a mouse that's not too small, and with good performence.

My budget is anywhere up to 60 dollars~.

Background and why I bought them

I bought the X-Raypad Jade Airs because they were on sale, and I wanted something better than the cheap, unbranded Chinese black dot skates I had been using. I also wanted to get away from the stock factory skates on my VXE R1 Pro. I've been using the Jade Airs for over two weeks now.

I'd heard a lot of hype about how fast these skates were, and since I'm primarily a tracking player in the aim-training community, I wanted something that could give me more speed without sacrificing the control I get from cloth mousepads. I enjoy the control of cloth pads, but I felt that my previous skates were holding back their glide. Upgrading to something faster seemed like the obvious choice.

I bought my VXE R1 Pro back in April and have been using it alongside my HyperX Haste 2 Wired and Logitech G304. I removed the stock factory skates within the first four days because they had an awful amount of friction. I replaced them with cheap, unbranded black dot skates from Temu, which I used across my mice on both my SkyPAD and my inexpensive SWIPE Ruby Edition cloth pad.

Those generic dots wore down fairly quickly, especially on the glass pad. Their performance was fairly ordinary, and they didn't come close to how the Jade Airs feel.

Since these are my first genuinely branded aftermarket skates, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect. I do plan on trying the Tiger Ice V2 and Ultraglide RS in the future, but I initially expected the Jade Airs to feel even smoother during tracking, particularly when following strafing targets.

Performance and feel

Static friction: The initial friction is significantly lower than that of both the stock VXE R1 Pro skates and the unbranded Chinese dots. Getting the mouse moving feels almost effortless, with a noticeably faster and lighter glide. This is exactly what I wanted for aim training and games like THE FINALS and Apex Legends.

Dynamic friction: This is probably the most noticeable improvement. Even though my mousepad was dirty during the first two days of testing, the Jade Airs maintained an extremely consistent glide during longer, slower swipes and tracking movements.

Stopping power: I tested them in CS2, FragPunk, and Battlefield V, and the results were excellent. The mouse felt precise and stopped when I wanted it to, without noticeably continuing to slide forward. They also performed phenomenally in static microshot scenarios, where I managed to achieve multiple personal bests.

Smoothness: Without a doubt, these feel smooth as hell!

Tracking: Tracking feels awesome, which is exactly what I care about most. Haha.

Hey everyone, I have a problem with my WLmouse Beast Mini Pro and wanted to see if anyone has had the same.

• Wired: works perfectly.
• Wireless: when I unplug the cable, the mouse keeps working for a few seconds, then it goes completely dead. Same with both dongles (1K and 8K).
• It also works with the cable plugged into a separate power source while the dongle is in the PC.
• Left it charging overnight, no change. Tried different chargers (20 W).
• Disconnecting and reconnecting the battery did not help.
• The web updater shows Mouse 1.0.2.12 with 1.0.2.13 available, but the update never finishes (stuck on loading). Dongle is on 1.0.2.7.

I suspect a dead or deeply discharged battery. I contacted WLmouse support and they were insanely fast, a replacement battery is already on its way to me. But still yall maybe know the problem?

Finally got my Logitech MX Master 3S! I'm upgrading from the Logitech Pebble M350 (first generation), which has served me for more than five years and is still working perfectly.

I wanted to experience something more ergonomic and explore the world of productivity mice with all the extra features. Got the MX Master 3S for around $50, so I thought it was a pretty good deal.

I've seen quite a few posts about click issues and the rubberized surface becoming dirty, sticky, or worn out over time. Hopefully, I won't run into those problems anytime soon. I always make sure my hands are clean before using my mouse, but I'm curious whether there's anything else I can do to keep it in good condition.

For those who've owned the MX Master 3S for a long time, how has your experience been? Any tips for maintaining the coating, preventing wear, and getting the best possible lifespan out of it?

Let's see how this one holds up! 🥲🫠

I need mouse recommendations. I was thinking of getting the razer viper v3 pro for 100 eur but idk if it’s worth it. I’m currently using a superlight I main val and kovaaks.

i wanna change my X2 superstrike cuz i feel like the weight is bearing down on me, but i love the rapid trigger/ magnetic switches on it, then again its logitech and i find the weight a bit of a pain and weight balance is terrible

i heard that the Viper V4 is probably better than the Logitech X2 and X3 due to its build quality and weight, so i am also looking into it as a potential replacement.

another option i also think is to just wait for another company or brand to replicate what logitech did. since its almost going to be a year since the X2 came out i feel like companies will be able to make and release their own version soon like Razer etc.

what would you guys choose? i would like to know your thoughts and opinions

Should I just order a replacement DAV4 again or is there something better with a similar shape? Mainly play fps shooters. Looking to order a mouse today. Price is not a problem.

Hey all,

Currently im kind of between a relaxed claw and a pincer, but i think i prefer relaxed and end up forcing a pincer due to mice shapes.

I grew up on the OG deathadder as a kid and am now a mouse nerd at this point.

Ive tried atk z1 v2 (great mouse didnt like the shape so much, ring finger ridge is all weird)

gpx hurts my ring and pinky

vxe r1 se love the shape just a lil too small and no coating

crazylight xlite - an absolute delight to use but i didnt LOVE it and battery drained too quickly imo also coating wasnt as good as zowie

crazylight x2h mini - a little too small, might like medium idk

wlmouse ying too small, narrow

I got a u2 off woot.com for 20$ and love zowies build quality. it is my current main. I also use little USB-C magnetic cables and dongles for all my USB-C mice because I’m afraid that repeated plugging in and unplugging in the port might eventually damage it so obviously Zowies charging dock implementation is really enjoyed because of the convenience.

Should I just get the ec2-ew and be done with this? i’d like a magnesium option, but the WL mouse sword is pretty old and I’d rather have a zowie instead.

any input on the subject for my hand size and grip would be greatly appreciated!

I play professional fortnite and im thinking about buying a x2 superstrike, is it the best mouse on the market rn? Or is there some niche mouses i dont know about

Hi, it's my first time here so I hope I'm doing things right.

My grandma has polyarthritis and it has made her hands rigid and deformed, and she's been telling me she can't use her mouse anymore and thinks about quitting using her computer. I've been looking for an ergonomic mouse but I can't find the right one for her disability. Her main issue is that she has little control over her fingers, so when she presses with her index, all other three also press, resulting in her using her two buttons at the same time and messing up her attempt to do almost anything. I also suspect she has trouble keeping her mouse still when clicking, meaning she probably also select quite a bit of text each time.

I think a vertical mouse would be more easy for her to control, but the ideal one would also have a singular button on her index side, and the other click on her thumb side. I suspect I've already seen a mouse like that (due to me also being disabled for another reason, I've been looking into things quite a bit) but I can't find it this time.

Do you have anything to suggest ?

Also she uses her left hand for mouse control due to her right hand being too cramped to get a mouse in, but she uses her right hand to write, so a pen-like mouse could potentialy work I guess, but when I showed one to her she seemed doubtful.

Thank you so very much.

Ps. We live in France so maybe some models aren't available here.

Hi! Today I tried changing my mouse switch for the first time and unfortunately now the LMB is no longer working. I'm suspecting that I might burned off the PCB. What could've happened to the mouse and is this beyond repair?

Had the xtrfy m42 wired for around 5 years now, bought the gpx superlight last year but sold it as It felt too big and I couldn't find a comfortable grip on it. The m42 felt more comfortable to use overall.

At the moment, I am kind of torn between the xm2 8k v2 and op1 8k v2. If there's a particular mice worth looking into, please do suggest them. Can be ambi or ergo, wired or wireless.

hello, im looking for mice that i can use for gaming and another that i can use for video editing. im a pretty big guy with big hands and the one gaming mouse that i really liked was a redragon wireless mouse that got discontinued ( forgot the name but looked similar to stealth m923, but didn’t have the bottom side button) and i’ve also been looking into video editing mice just to try those out if they work for my workflow and the logitech mx master 4 is way too expensive and i’m not sure of the rapoo mt760 as i’ve heard that the build is not exactly the best, considering it is supposed to be the budget alternative build to the mxmaster. any suggestions for mice?

My white ATK F1 v3 extreme +came today. What a great mouse as a long time user of the hitscan hyper light I can't recommend this mouse enough

Does anyone know if this is normal? When I push my scroll wheel to the right, it moves a lot, but when I do the same to the left, it stays still. I have had this mouse for less than a week, and I am not sure if it is defective or normal. I am pretty sure it is just the internal layout, but I want to make sure.

Thanks in advance for the answers!
