I need new replacement feet for my G500! Do G5 feet fit?

Thread Starter 
I've been looking at pictures and It looks like the little side-foot is bigger on the G5 than on the G500, and that the front foot has a slightly different shape.

I was hoping it's just my eyes because no one really advertises feet replacements for the G500 except corepad.

Does anyone have Hyperglide G5 feet that fit onto the G500? If not, does anyone own corepad replacement feet, and could you tell me if they are good?

My 2 year old Lachesis feet put my brand new stock G500 feet to shame. I need really good quality new ones that glide very smoothly!

I just compared my G500 to my first gen G5. The back pad is a little bit smaller, the front pad isn't as wide (meaning chord to sensor wise, the length across the mouse is identical), and the little side pad looks identical.

You could make it work. Just cut the slight excess off the rounded part of the front pad, and the back pad being slightly smaller wouldn't matter.

You guys don't look hard enough lol


Edit: Sorry, I glanced the thread. Hyperglide feet glide very well, but teflon is well teflon IMO.

I doubt there will be any major difference between the replacement logitech feet and the more expensive Hyperglides. I've used both.

I didn't look for them. I just knew I had both and answered the man's question.

Ouch. $4.15 shipping kills it...

Do what I did

notecard + glue

peel the padding off cut the same shape for each part and glue all the layers together and put back on the mouse

worked like a charm on my vx revo

The reason I didn't even consider buying the replacements from Logitech is because I thought they were the same crap black ones.

Can you confirm if they are indeed different than the ones you get with your mouse?
