Your comparison is kind of unfair, as there's a big difference with tennis and golf vs mouse control. They're swinging relatively heavy objects at high speeds and it's much harder to keep a proper hold on the racquet/club than it is to hold onto a mouse. Unless you're actually having trouble holding onto the mouse, grip tape on a mouse is overkill. If you do still plan on doing it, I'd say cut out some pieces of a tennis grip and tape those on. | ||

SteelSeries made something similar to what your describing. Be aware that I don't have any personal experience with this particular product though. Edit: As the above poster says tennis griptape would work wonders if the tape itself sticks onto the mouse, can't recommend you any brands though since its been a while since I played. | ||

Maybe try this. Super glue a little button or something that would give you a shelf for your slippery fingers. | ||

Agreed... the sandpaper would get pretty gross eventually... all the dirt and skin and dried sweat cloggin up all the grit | ||

But I don't think it's really necessary to "gripify" your mouse? Perhaps just keep a towel beside your computer and wipe your hands once in a while... o.o | ||

Weren't you the guy that wanted a Salmosa? That one has a non-slip coating on the top but not on the sides. | ||

Don't bother with any "sweet" products that are made for this purpose, just get some medical wrap and put a strip on either side of the mouse and 1 on top. Skateboard idea is awful, would be horrible feeling all day. But next time you buy a mouse the G3 would be a good idea, or the kone. | ||

i just saw the steel grip products but it hink you can make your own cutting portions out of racquet grip, which overall probably is better material in my mind | ||

Sometimes with my current mouse I double click and my mouse just flies right through the window. Mouse still works, but I'm tired of paying for window repairs. ...Oh wait, you're being serious... | ||
