perspiration destroys mouse skates


I don't know what is in my perspiration, if my hand even one time sweat. Spots on bottom of the mouse are created and there is insane friction. Mouse feels like glued to the mousepad. I read same thing on reddit. I can tell difference after 1 day using new mouse and after 2 weeks it has insane friction and it is unuseable... I tried almost everything at this point and nothing worked... So frustrating...

Do you mind indicating which Razer mouse you have? I'd also appreciate it if you can share photos of the visible spots on the bottom part of the mouse. By the way, are you using a mouse mat? If so, do you mind sharing the model?

Sorry new account, i reinstalled windows and forget previous. I started to think you can't get answer here.
I am using Razer Death Adder elite.
I can't give you better quality pics, my camera don't make good pics from close range, or zoomed.

I think it has something to do with the surface you're using. You can try to replace the mouse feet whenever it becomes too ground out to glide over the mat you have.

Nah... I was using razer cloth math last 8 years or so. Or qck. It doesn't matter what mousepad i am using. I played in winter 3 months and it was kinda okay, i could still notice difference. Than in summer my hand started to sweat and mouse instantly started having insane friction. I can tell difference even after 1 day and after 14 days mouse has insane friction. It is something in my perspiration. I never had problems with friction as kid, when my hand didn't sweat. And i read same thing on different forums from people, that after 14 days there is huge friction!!!

I can only suggest that you experiment on different types of mouse feet and mats. I sweat a lot, but I have not experienced anything like this.

What about some chemical, that i can use at home. I tried isopropyl alcohol e.g. with no effect. And i tried polishing, that helped a bit, but not much. Still mouse is stuck on place, when i need to do small adjustments. And there is friction. As i said, i don't think it has to do anything with surfaces. This happens, because sweat.

I can't recommend any sort of chemical because I do not know how it would react to your sweat. You have a unique situation, and I'm afraid I'm not qualified to help you with something as personal as perspiration.
