nice - as much as I like Hyperglides, Hotline have a lot wider range of compatibility, and have never actually disappointed me (nor have Hyperglide of course, but can't get them for every mouse).
tempted to try, but I just got a new set of feet for my mouse.

honestly doubt it would be slower than the Competition hotlines though, I think they might be faster actually - which is what I prefer

Aren't the competition feet even faster than their performance feet? o.o

I can let you know when mine get in. Ordered them a week or so ago. Currently use a G403 on a Zowie G-SR with Hyperglides (the IME 3.0 ones). Supposed to be here Saturday. I preferred the Hyperglides to the Hotlines for this mouse because I felt they were a bit smoother in the glide even though I liked the control of the Hotlines Competition feet.

That's awesome - thank you! Do you happen to remember if the Hotlines were any slower than the stock G403 feet?

That's the point. Marketing mumbo jumbo "proprietary material". Pretty sure the only thing what's different from your usual hotline set is colour. I would make a snarky remark why it's called master but that joke is off-colour.

 

i had the same joke in mind too. my guess is its just pure teflon, no adulterants.

 

Imagine if they did just change the color, though. .-.

 

Even if it's just a color change, as long as it's the same price I would prefer these. Those transparent feet make me uneasy.

 

As much as I'd like to say it's just marketing and there's no difference besides color (I agree though, it's a whole lot of marketing nonsense) there are still several people reporting notable differences. I was just hoping someone here could be more descriptive if they had noticed those differences themselves

 

"- Requires break-in time, recommended 2 - 3 weeks of daily usage" hmmmhm

 

I read that too, assuming that means the edges aren't rounded?

 

The feet came in and I've had a chance to slap them on my G403 and try them out. Initial impressions:
They're beige, not white. Weirdest color I've seen for mouse feet, but I guess it sets them apart. Not even light beige- straight up dark beige.
They're effing horrible. Oh my god, they're horrible at first use. Like gliding on low grit sandpaper. VERY control oriented I guess, but rough rough rough.
I filed them down on the rough side of a Razer Vespula with lots of pressure. After filing them down they calmed down a bit- much smoother now but I still need to work them a few more minutes.
Still very high friction and still a bit rough compared to stock feet and especially to Hyperglides. Much rougher than the competition hotlines feet as well. I by far prefer the competition feet at first use.
I'll give them the 2 weeks of usage they say, but it looks like I'll probably be going back to Hyperglides if they don't smooth out. The feel of pure teflon can't be beat IMO. These are not at all what I expected having used and been a fan of Hotlines previous feet.

 

Just to confirm, you took off the plastic film on the feet first before using them, right?

 

I will say the packaging is nothing short of epic though. The box they came in made them seem like they were made out of solid gold or something. Just incredible.

 

huh that's disappointing. competition are good though, no doubt about that. thanks for trying them out.

 

Yup, love the competition feet for sure. Perfect combination of smooth glide and control. I use those on all my mice except the G403 which seems to love the Hyperglides.

 

The Master skates have been around for quite a while, just not for every mouse. They cost only several dollars more than the performance and competition skates, and come in a much nicer wooden box packaging. A bit unnecessary imo.

As far as the skates perform, they feel much slower than the competition skates which I find rather fast depending on the mouse pad you use. Those require some break in time. Not sure about the Master skates as im still using them. Im hoping they'll release them for more SteelSeries mice too.

 

Post 1 week impression:

So after using them a bit and filing them down a bit more on the Vespula, I have to say the feet are pretty nice. On my Zowie G-SR-SE they glide pretty smooth and have a lot of control. If you're looking for something to give you that extra bit of control then these feet are the ones you're looking for. Especially if you don't smooth them out first. After getting adjusted my shots seem to line up just a bit quicker in Overwatch. Pretty big difference from my initial impressions! I'm going to give them a couple more weeks of use and give my final verdict on them, but so far I've come around and have to say I'm kinda liking them.

 

Has anyone been able to find a single link with all there Master mouse feet? I know you can scroll down pages on Ebay to find different mouse-specific sets. Looking for a circle/oval shaped set (like the IME's feet) that I can fit in most mice.

 

Nvm. Remembered their website.

Just gotta Google Translate their page or whatever. Tiny, round Master feet. Yay!

 

These are great feet. In fact if you're looking for decent control I'd go for these over a gsr. Once worn in they offer great control but they're not heavy on static friction making small adjustments easy. Really good product.

 

nvm

 

Success!

 

Okay, so that was a LOT more expensive than I was expecting. Would NOT recommend using them for small packages, like packets of mouse feet, at least if you live in the US. If you’re ordering something big, though, I suppose the shipping is reasonable.

 

I've been using the Master feet on my G502 for past few weeks.
Ordered my from this US eBay seller; https://www.ebay.com/usr/menofmice

They have quite a different feel, not as smooth as other hotlines or corepad.
However, they do feel more accurate (eg won't overshoot as they have a little more friction.)
I really like the feel on my G440 mouse mat less so my cloth one.
As I do some graphics work, I do like the smoothness but might have to up my DPI in some games.

 

Depends on which feet you get. The ones for my G403 had plastic, the ones for my G Pro Wireless did not.

 

so are these faster or slower than stock g303/g pro wired etc?

 

Much slower. I'm still looking for something even slower though, unfortunately. If anyone has any ideas I'd love to know!
