Obsidian Control Skates for Razer Viper V3 Pro: Fit and Glide

Quick answer

Install Obsidian Control Skates on your Razer Viper V3 Pro by removing the old feet, cleaning the base, aligning the new skates, and pressing firmly. Expect a slower, more controlled glide with stronger stopping power thanks to the hardened PTFE.

Step-by-step installation

1. Remove the old skates: Use a plastic tool or your fingernail to peel off the existing mouse feet. Work slowly from one corner to avoid scratching the base. Common mistake: using a metal tool that can gouge the plastic. Check that no adhesive residue remains before moving on.
2. Clean the base: Wipe the bottom of the mouse with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry completely. This removes oils and dust so the new adhesive bonds properly. Common mistake: skipping this step, which leads to skates peeling off later. The surface must be dry and lint-free before applying new skates.
3. Align and apply: Peel one skate from the sheet and align it carefully with the recessed area on the Viper V3 Pro. Press down firmly for a few seconds. Common mistake: pressing too lightly, which can cause the edges to lift during use. Double-check alignment before pressing; once stuck, repositioning weakens the adhesive.
4. Press and test: After applying all skates, place the mouse on your pad and press down gently to seat the adhesive. Move the mouse in slow circles to feel the glide. Common mistake: expecting instant smoothness—hardened PTFE may feel slightly slower at first. Give the skates a short break-in period before judging the feel.
