I have to say, I really like it. Using it on a Logitech MX1100 and the mouse moves pretty effortlessly. I'm not much of a gamer, so it's mostly for comfort.
I bought a stick of it from this guy to test it out:

And ordered a roll from Amazon to keep around for the future:

I'm assuming it's the same stuff (and more cost-effective), but I won't know until it gets here. Not sure how long this will last on the feet. Feels like using a hard pad without the scratchiness. Right now I'm using a small steelseries QcK.
I'm pretty sure this is similar to the stuff razer sells for their mice, but I'm not sure if someone can confirm that.

Yes, they use PTFE so this is essentially the same thing.

Have you ever tried glides before?
I use hyperglides and they are a very nice touch and addition to my mouse. I'd recommend them! I found the tape (when I used it a few years back) would wear and cause friction whilst aiming due to it sticking up at the side.

I noticed that when I tried cutting them to fit the little pads, but I managed to cut down on that problem by just sticking down the strip from edge to edge along where the pads are located.
