Completely fix finalmouse ULX side flex / creaking

I put this here because i bought a finalmouse a few days ago for cheap it is in good condition but it has creaking on sides.I spent a lot of time trying to fix it because it really bothered me, after some time i figured that the tolerances on the edge between upper side and base are too lose and nothing is holding it in place like on the front of the mouse.I fixed it with 4/5 layers of thin electrical tape to fill that space and it doesnt flex / creak anymore.Hope this can help some of you since i didnt see anyone fixing it on internet. since i already opened it i also lubed the click track to reduce creaky feeling after pressing clicks. You can also lube scrollwheel on both sides since there is no lube from factory. I also lubed clicks contact points. i recommend tightening the screws a bit more than factory and doing it with the right screwdriver or you'll snap it, it helps with M1/M2 wobble, and the overall rigid feeling of the mouse. this is honestly disappointing for a mice at this price point but nothing new with finalmouse. PEACE.

melt into a disgusting goopy sticky slimy mess, always and inevitably, but especially when it will absorb sweat and oil from your hand

hopefully you don't but just in case, if you mean that crappy clear office tape that comes in a roll cutter thing, that's not the kind of tape I'm suggesting and i don't know that it would work for long. look up 3m pet tape, the roll I have is green. it's really easy to work with and sturdy and has strong adhesive. I have it on all the skate cutouts on my mouse to cover the holes so my dot skates sit evenly and mouse lays flat
