Introduction
If your Razer Deathadder Elite is not gliding well on a mouse pad and/or the mouse grips are no longer staying in place, use this guide to replace the mouse feet and grips.
The mouse's feet help the mouse glide on a surface. Overused mouse feet produce skipping and uneven gliding. The mouse grips help provide the user with more precise mouse movements. If these are damaged, the mouse is not as accurate.
Before using this guide, check to see if dirt buildup on the mouse feet is causing skipping or uneven gliding.
Before starting this guide, make sure to fully unplug the mouse from any external power source.

Fantastic. thanks for the guide. Much easier than what I was going to do.

should probably note that you should clean the area where the new grips will go with some alcohol, my sons was extremely greasy, hence why the adhesive from the original probably failed.
