Introduction

The mouse’s feet help the mouse glide on a surface. Overused mouse feet produce skipping and uneven gliding. The mouse grips help provide the user with more precise mouse movements. If these are damaged, the mouse is not as accurate.

Before using this guide, check to see if dirt buildup on the mouse feet is causing skipping or uneven gliding.

Before starting this guide, make sure to fully unplug the mouse from any external power source.
