MSI 3.0 surface too slippery (17 comments)

( Forum: HW)

Posted by Crizzl @ 09:27 CST, 25 December 2011 - iMsg

Heya.

My last MSI 3.0 recently broke down after several years of service so i bought another but it's too slippery to hold on to where as my old had been "worn down" so it wasn't quite as slippery. Now i was wondering if you guys know any tricks to make my new 3.0 less slippery?

Thanks!

change shell back to old one.
or use water-sandpaper ~2500 and work with it .

Yeah i thought about that aswell, but the mouse1/2 buttons seemed to be kinda mashed after so much use, but is that the switches fault or the shell's? (Hope you understand what i mean)

usually shell's

you can disassemble the shell and use the new shell buttons with old main shell

My left click button seems to double click for no reason. Any fix for that?

Replace the switch, you're wearing it out.

might as well buy another ie3, I tried replacing one before, and the two feet are almost impossible to melt both at once

mine does this as well.

Also to everyone else: I need to get a new 3.0 every year roughly because the cord starts to short and eventually stops working completely.

Does this happen to anyone else, if so, is there a potential fix?

do you have the cable fixed at some point on your table, or is it scrubbing over the edge of your table?

replace cord from any other optical mouse, they mostly have same number of pins. Or if it's still works , just fucks sometimes, open mouse shell and move cord to mouse 1 cm, so place where cord is broken will be in shell and won't move.

I'll end up doing that for my next one probably.

I'm about to try a deathadder, if I don't like it I'll have to do that

I certainly don't hope so, but this is only my second 3.0 and my first lasted for like 6-8 years.
