If the pads get too sticky or too worn, remove them. Replace them with half of a velcro strip (the loop half, not the hook half.) You can usually get self-sticking vecro by the yard at any five-and-dime. The velcro will make the mouse sit a little higher than the normal pads make it, but that usually doesn't interfere with optical or physical traction. Laura Lemay lemay@sun.com Redhead. Drummer.
