How to Install Corepad Skatez AIR Universal Dots

Quick answer

Install Corepad Skatez AIR #7 Universal DIY Dots by cleaning your mouse feet, peeling and placing the dots, then pressing firmly. These 0.75mm thick skates provide a smooth, controlled glide for most gaming mice.

Installation steps

1. Prepare the mouse feet: Remove any existing skates or adhesive residue from the mouse feet. Clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth. Let it dry completely. Skipping this step can cause the dots to peel off prematurely.
2. Peel and place the dots: Peel one Corepad Skatez AIR dot from the sheet. Align it with the center of the mouse foot and press down gently. Repeat for all feet. Avoid touching the adhesive side with your fingers; oils can reduce stickiness.
3. Press and set: Firmly press each dot with your thumb or a soft cloth for 10-15 seconds. Ensure the edges are fully adhered. Uneven pressing can create air bubbles that affect glide smoothness.
4. Test and adjust: Place the mouse on your mousepad and slide it. If it feels too slow or too fast, you can add or remove dots. For a balanced feel, use the same number of dots on each foot. Start with the factory-recommended number (usually 4 per foot) and adjust based on your surface and preference.
