    XTRAC Mad Dotz Mouse Feet Dotz
    XTRAC Eels Mouse feet adhesive
    BFG Teflon® Slick Pads
    Mouse Skatez
    X-Ray ZeroFriction Mouse Skates (TP5A)

    I've got the MX700.. had it for ages, and the feet are not even close to wearing out.. and it gets used a LOT! The MX1000 probably uses the same feet to be honest. I wouldn't worry.

    im asking about Pookeyhead's mousepad because if its a cloth like one they dont worn out at all.. but if your using a RatpadzGS it has texture which will warn out the mousefeet fast

    Teflon tape works fine, in my exprerience, and it's pretty cost-effective as well.

    I'm actually using a wacom graphire tablet as a mousepad, as I'm a photographer, and always use a tablet in PS, but hate having two pads take up deskspace. It's a hard, smooth surface, so I suppose wear will be minimal.. it does get a LOT of use tho, and they still look new after 18 months.
