Stock mouse feet on the Model O/O- wear down and start dragging faster than most gamers expect, and swapping to a premium skate is one of the cheapest upgrades that actually changes how a mouse feels on the pad. The main decision is material: PTFE feels closer to stock but wears faster, while glass/ceramic glides feel different (some describe it as “hovering”) and last much longer.
