Quick answer

Use Pulsar's THIN Grip Tape for X2 v1 and X2 v2 to add grip without changing the mouse's shape. Clean the shell, align the pre-cut pieces, and press firmly for a residue-free hold.

Why 0.5mm thickness matters for the X2 shape

The X2 series is designed with a specific shell contour, and adding thick grip tape can alter how the mouse fills your hand. Pulsar's THIN tape is 0.5mm, so it preserves the original feel while adding grip. If you prefer a more pronounced palm or finger groove, this tape may feel too subtle, and you might consider a thicker option instead.

When to replace or remove the tape

The 3M adhesive is strong enough to hold during use but easy to remove without residue. If the tape starts to peel at the edges or loses tackiness, replace it. Avoid pulling aggressively; instead, peel slowly from a corner to keep the adhesive intact and protect the mouse surface.

Step-by-step application

  1. Clean the mouse surface: Wipe the areas where you'll apply the tape with a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol. Let it dry completely. A clean, dry surface is essential for the adhesive to bond properly.
  2. Test-fit the pieces: Before peeling the backing, place the pre-cut pieces on the mouse to confirm orientation and coverage. Dry-fitting prevents misalignment and wasted tape.
  3. Peel and apply: Peel a small section of the backing and align the piece carefully, then press down gradually from one edge to the other. Work slowly to avoid trapping air bubbles.
  4. Press firmly: Apply firm pressure across the entire tape for 10–15 seconds, especially around edges and curves. Pressure activates the adhesive for a secure hold.
  5. Check edges and cure: Inspect for lifted edges and press them down again. Wait a few minutes before heavy use. Early lifting is easier to fix before the adhesive fully sets.
