    The feet on this mouse are great, but they are really thin. Do they make replacements or does an aftermarket company make them that will fit it?

    Preferably if they are thicker that would be great.

    I also use my desk as a mouse pad so that probably doesn't help the feet :)

    You can buy aftermarket slider pads/feet
    .
    They are called polytetrafluoroethylene feet

    Logitech sells replacement feet. And they are thin, but they don't wear down easily. I've had mine for several months, and the Teflon feet don't seem to have worn noticeably at all.

    If you do want to buy spares, though, here's the G9 parts page (the feet cost $2 US):

    The ones from frozencpu. The Hyperglides look like they are really thin and just stick on. How long would those last?

    I have been using my G5 for over a year and a half. If the G9 feet are the like the G5 ones, they won't ware down.
