Could be a dumb question. Are you supposed to take these white sticker looking things off???

    No those are the skates providing smooth movement.

    Not dumb, I’d have the same question tbh

  3. thos are skates, they used to be black but the white ones are better

    Sometimes the skates have a thin plastic layer over them that need to be removed. I felt like an idiot when I realized that.

    If your new skates don’t glide smoothly, they probably have the thin layer of plastic on them that you have to remove.

  5. No, though it’s not uncommon for the feet to have a clear protective film on it that you can take off, you’d generally notice if that’s the case because it won’t glide as well.

    I too hate that my mouse slides around my mouse mat.

    If there’s a clear plastic overtop then yes but as long as the white stickers are the only piece leave them. Those are the pieces that reduce friction so that your mouse can slide around easier

    You will ruin your mouse if you do that

  9. If you want to open your mouse or replace the skates, then. Otherwise not.

    That is the dumbest question I ever did hear. No you don’t take those off

    I bought this mouse just because it seems like the nicest one for the price point. I didn’t realize how popular it actually was. Fantastic Mouse so far

    They are mouse skates, I used to replace them after a hundred hours or so playing Counterstrike. As with everything, mileage will vary.

    Answering to most of the comments, no, the color doesn’t matter at all.

    I’m a Materials Engineering student, and basically none of the coloring that is added to polymers adds any different characteristics to it.

    It probably has to do with the manufacturer, PTFE is white-ish or semi-transparent, so it might be cheaper for him not adding any coloring, again, there is probably one big ptfe mouse skates manufacturer, and as he might be providing most of the brands, the color is the same.

    Hope my comment helped! 😀

    Sometimes there is a transparent plastic cover to protect the mouse from getting pregnant

    Take em off and find out is the only way you’ll get your answer

    If it’s hard to take off, it’s probably not meant to be taken off

    they help the mouse move around on a mousepad, don’t take them off

    You can do it once, it’ll clean all the lint off your mousepad. Then you have to get a new mouse and mousepad after

  19. Honestly, if you never had a gaming mouse before, i totally understand why you would ask that question, i don’t think it’s a dumb question at all

    I have the same mouse and nearly learned the hard way. Started picking and pealing until I realized… “maybe I should google this”. Yea no don’t peel or pick at it.

  21. Ult1mateN00B

    Nah, you just lick them between rounds to improve movement.

  22. Batyalas

    Actually, the white ones are better than black. Just like irl.

  23. Drkknightcecil

    Yes….. yes you are. I went to my buddys house when he set up his pc. He was like my mouse is whatever i dont rly carr for it. I used it for one second. I flippes it over and this was why. I peeled those off and he was amazed at the smooth slide. I was like yeah this os why you dont like the shit bud.
