Install Pulsar Superglide 1 grip tape on your Roccat Kone Pro or Pro Air with a step-by-step process that ensures a secure, comfortable hold.
Quick answer
Apply Pulsar Superglide 1 grip tape to a clean, dry Roccat Kone Pro or Pro Air surface, align it carefully before pressing, and smooth out air bubbles for a secure hold.
Why surface prep decides the result
Grip tape bonds best to a surface free of oils, dust, and old adhesive. Even a thin film of hand lotion can prevent full contact, so clean the mouse thoroughly and let it dry completely before applying anything.
Work in a well-lit, dust-free area. A single stray fiber trapped under the tape can create a bump that lifts the edges over time.
When Superglide 1 is the right choice
Superglide 1 is designed specifically for the Roccat Kone Pro and Pro Air shapes, so the cut should follow the mouse contours without trimming. If you use a different mouse model, this tape is not the correct fit and may need modification that compromises adhesion.
The textured surface adds grip for sweaty hands or fast-paced aiming, but it also adds a slight thickness. If you prefer a bare-shell feel, skip grip tape entirely.
Step-by-step installation
- Clean the mouse surface: Wipe the areas where you plan to apply the tape with a lint-free cloth and a small amount of isopropyl alcohol. Let it dry completely. Check for any remaining residue by running a dry finger across the surface; it should feel squeaky clean.
- Test-fit before peeling: Hold the Superglide 1 piece over the mouse without removing the backing to confirm orientation and coverage. If the piece does not align with the button or side contour, do not peel it—reposition until it matches.
- Peel and align carefully: Remove a small section of the backing and press the tape onto the mouse starting from one edge, aligning it with the mouse's contours as you go. Avoid touching the adhesive side with your fingers; oils reduce tack.
- Press and smooth: Once fully applied, press down firmly from the center outward to push out any air bubbles. Pay extra attention to edges and curves, where lifting is most common.
- Let it set: Wait at least 30 minutes before heavy use to allow the adhesive to reach full strength. If an edge lifts later, press it back down; if it persists, a tiny piece of double-sided tape can help.
