Title: These are pretty neat--improve your mouse grip
Post by: dmbr on Thu, 07 June 2012, 13:35:55
They don't adhere all that great and it's a real pain to remove them from their backing without the sticky stuff peeling off along with the paper, but I am still pretty excited to have found these:

I've got big hands and a claw grip, and have never really been able to find a mouse that's a perfect fit. Only the G9x with a custom "jumbo" shell came close. With these, I can place the "blisters" such that mice I found unwieldy and/or uncomfortable are entirely satisfactory, and they even fix the couple kinks in my G9x's. They're particularly lovely placed on the buttons.

Not a perfect product, but very useful for anyone having trouble finding a mouse with all the right features except a fitting grip.

Nice find :)  
I once thought about buying things like this, but I just kept practicing different forms.

They remind me of the memory heatsinks that you can find on some videocards.

By custom grips for the G9X, do you mean this: http://www.shopjumbo.co.uk/88_buy_51039598.html ?

I'm in the same situation as you, i.e. big hands and a G9X. Hence I'm so curious about all this.
