These are aftermarket accessories designed to enhance the gliding performance of a specific computer peripheral. Functioning as replacement feet, they are affixed to the underside of the mouse to reduce friction between the device and the surface upon which it is used, facilitating smoother and more precise cursor movements.
The implementation of optimized materials and design contributes to several advantages. Reduced friction allows for faster and more fluid mouse movements, potentially improving reaction times and overall accuracy in computer applications, particularly gaming. Historically, such modifications have been a common practice among enthusiasts seeking to optimize their equipment for competitive performance.
