    Have you ever notice your mouse has that rubber skin/grip attached to it? I'm looking exactly for that kind of material, but it has to be an entire sheet so I can use it in my laptop chassis mod.

    Something like this:

    I haven't used it myself but have heard that plasti-dip spray gives approximately the same surface as on mice. Wouldn't be too expensive to try?

    Yeah, but I don't really feel like spraying anything on my P330. I'm still trying to find the exact material of those rubber grip. :confused:

    I would be very surprised if mouse manufacturers doesn't use something very similar to the spray. Don't think you'll find sheets of the material.

    I'm getting desperate. Perhaps I should buy one and test it out.
