I've had it since December, 2013; the rubber or synthetic rubber grip on the left side fell off yesterday. Before I start applying whatever adhesive happens to be lying around the house, has anyone had success with a specific brand over several months? Please mention any application methods you would like to share.

Used two Razer products, both had problems with rubber parts and glue. I didn't bother with them anymore, but I'd have simply cleaned the old adhesive off with isopropanol (or similar) and reattached the rubber with some basic glue that works with both plastic and rubber. Can't name any brands but it usually says on the package which kind surfaces the glue works on. Just be sure to clean the old stuff.

I am using "Guntape" on my Logitech G302, as the pebbled surface structure plastic was still slippery to me, due to dry hands. I got my "Guntape" on Amazon. Just cut to size with scissors, to fit your mouse. The "Guntape" also has a pebbled surface structure, but much more grippy. If you prefer a smooth surface structure, you could try "E-Grips", also from Amazon. So far, three months or so, the "Guntape" is holding up perfectly; it hasn't budged, no adhesive seeping out around the edges, and no visible wear.

@ElectricDelta: I couldn't find tape from Guntape, or any reel-based products--all I could find were grips designed for specific guns. Can you post a link to either a listing of e-grip tape or reel-based guntape?
@AnimalK: The rubber side on the mouse is pebbled; it works for me since I use the grab and drop technique (closer to a basketball's surface). The racket tape I see on Amazon is smooth grip, since players tend to spin the racket and need it to be slick, but the default Razer sides need to be textured (Come to think of it, don't know why someone hasn't made a mouse surface out of tennis tape; probably be hard to get rid of the edge of the tape, mouse surfaces have to be absolutely seamless to work).
My request for brand recommendations stands, but I'll take a look at the glue around the house to see if rubber and plastic are recommended by the glue's packaging.

They're held in place by an adhesive coating applied to the entire interior face of the rubber sides initially; there is no adhesive on the plastic body. Over time, pressure and friction loosens the adhesive.
