How to Apply Superglide Grip Tape to Your Gaming Mouse

Quick Answer

Clean your mouse, align the Superglide grip tape precisely, and press firmly from the center outward to avoid bubbles and peeling.

Step-by-Step Installation

1. Clean and dry your mouse: Wipe the mouse surface with a lint-free cloth and mild alcohol to remove oils and dust. Let it dry completely before applying the tape. Skipping this step can cause the adhesive to fail and the tape to peel off early.
2. Peel and align the tape: Carefully peel the Superglide grip tape from its backing. Hold it above the mouse and align it with the edges of the shell before touching the surface. Once the tape touches the mouse, repositioning is difficult—take your time to align it perfectly.
3. Press from the center outward: Use your finger or a soft card to press the tape down starting from the center and moving toward the edges. This pushes out air bubbles and ensures full adhesion. Pressing from the edges inward can trap air and create bubbles under the tape.
4. Smooth edges and let it set: Run your finger along the edges to ensure they are firmly stuck. Wait at least 30 minutes before using the mouse so the adhesive bonds fully. Using the mouse too soon can shift the tape and cause peeling at the edges.
