I like the smooth, quick response of a mouse on a plain desktop surface and it does not limit movement to the size of the mouse pad. But eventually within a few weeks, the little plastic feet build up with dirty, sticky desktop debris which hinders performance. I found a simple way to refresh that clean feeling and movement with standard 3x3 Post-its®, of which I have an abundant supply.
Take your standard 3x3 Post-it® and cut on the sticky side about 1/3 of the way in as shown (I have been known to just tear it when needed, but a nice cut is pleasing to the eye).
Then, cut the entire sticky portion from the rest and either discard the non-sticky portion or use it to play tricks on un-suspecting Post-it users.
Apply the sticky pieces to the mouse feet as shown, the bigger piece to the dual feet side. A stickler might round the cormers, but I have found they do not interfer with movement or performance.
After a few weeks of use, the paper will build up the same debris and as the mouse begins to stick to the desktop, it is time for another application. Grab the Post-its®!
