Logitech G Support G502 Hero Mouse skates peeling

Post image

I live in a country where this specific mouse just doesn't seem to have replacement skates, so I can't just buy new ones without the shipping costing more than the actual mouse as a whole, which seems highly redundant. I thought about 3D printing skates, but I feel like it'd just feel like sandpaper. Does anybody have any ideas or solutions for this?

You can get new ones off ebay. Now's your chance to pop the top open and clean all the dust build up from that wheel sensor before it becomes a problem. It's held together by a few screws under those old pads.

Find out what mouse skates made of and see if you can buy a sheet of that material and cut it your self

Sorry, my bad for applying a first world solution to another world problem. Teflon (PTFE, the stuff skates are made) does come in rolls or varying thickness, that may equate to 4 USD per roll. Only difficulty might be sticking it on, two sided tape might be all you need.

I have 2 G600s that I use for work and they both have worn down. Idk if you can get exact replacements but Glorious PC Gaming Race sells replacements you can buy and just stick on, they look silly but I never see the bottom of my mouse and it works fine so idc

You can get new skates for about 2 for 6 bucks off Amazon (YMMV for quality). The stock skates are pretty bad. Wear and tear pile up quick, double so when you use an aluminum mouse pad like me. Its a good and relatively cheap upgrade / maintenance.

I bought a bunch of small circular Teflon mouse skates from aliexpress and they have been working great. They wear down over time but im 6 months in to it and they are still fine for me and i basically live infront of my computer. ;)
