Even though you bagged yourself the gaming mouse of your dreams, do you still find things aren’t quite as perfect as you’d hoped? Maybe the cable is too stiff, or the surface is too slippery, or the mouse feet just aren’t gliding properly?
If that sounds a bit like you, then you’re in the right place! Here at Overclockers UK, we have plenty of accessories for your gaming mouse to help you mod your precious peripheral to perfection.
Control Your Cables with a Mouse Bungee
If you land on the former side of the wired versus wireless debate, then you’ll want to make sure your gaming mouse’s cable doesn’t get tangled. Worse still, it can rub on your mouse pad or become taut and restrict your freedom of movement. A true nightmare if you’re playing with low DPI settings and need to move your gaming mouse frequently.
To solve this problem, a mouse bungee is what you need. Attach your mouse to it via the flexible cable guide, which will keep the wire from dragging things down. The lift in the cable also reduces friction and helps slow down your mouse to give you even greater control. It’s easy to see why many esports professionals opt to use one!

- Essential accessory for cable management when it comes to your gaming mouse.
- Distinct and stylish aesthetic you expect from a Glorious product.
- Rubber clamp is compatible with many different types of cable.

Replace Your Gaming Mouse’s Cable
You might find that, even with a bungee, your gaming mouse’s cable is still old, immobile, and unsalvageable. If that’s the case, consider replacing your old rubber cable with a more flexible one.
Brands, such as Glorious, have their own replacement cables for you to choose from. Not only does using one of these not cost your gaming mouse its warranty, but they also come in some vibrant colours. A great way to mix up your gaming setup’s aesthetic!
Replace Your Gaming Mouse’s Cable
- The weight of the cable is reduced to help maximise mouse mobility.
- Improves flexibility for an almost wireless-like experience.
- Reduces drag and prevents any unwanted curling.
- Compatible with the Glorious Gaming Mouse Model O and O-.
- Available in eight different colours to give your aesthetic a vibrant splash.
Time to Get a Grip
Does your mouse keep slipping away from you at crucial moments? Maybe sweaty palms are preventing you from perfecting your precision? If you can relate, it’s time to get some grip tape to go with your gaming mouse.
There are many reasons you will want to use a mouse grip, from their sweat-wicking properties to the increased control they offer. It’s well worth investing in one to get the best performance when gaming. Since many manufacturers offer pre-cut tape, even for specific models, these self-adhesive grips are a very easy mouse accessory to add in.
We stock a range of pre-cut mouse grips, designed for popular gaming mice. From the Glorious Model O- to the Endgame Gear OP1we, these self-adhesive grips are easy to apply and add stylish texture to your gaming mouse.

Get a Leg Up with Mouse Skates
Lastly, we want to talk about feet. You might notice, especially if you’ve had your gaming mouse a long time, that your peripheral doesn’t glide quite like it should. This is usually because the mouse skates on the underside are worn out or not up to the task.
Luckily, like many mouse accessories, you can replace and upgrade these! There are two main types of mouse skates for you to choose from.
Durable and Smooth with PTFE
Considered by many mouse modding enthusiasts to be the gold standard, skates made from PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) have lots of benefits. The material offers low surface tension and friction for exceptional gliding properties. You’ll often find that they’re better than the skates your gaming mouse came pre-installed with!
Endgame Gear XM1 Mouse Skates, 99.5% PTFE (EGG-MS3)
- Manufactured from durable PTFE plastic, providing a smooth glide for your gaming mouse.
- Designed to work with Endgame Gear XM1 and XM1-RGB gaming mice.
- Two extra-large mouse skates included to maximise coverage.
Go Exotic with Ceramic and Glass
If your focus with your gaming mouse is on speed and longevity, then you’ll want to consider skates made from glass or ceramic. They may have a slightly higher price point compared to PTFE, but they will show far less wear over time especially compared to ordinary mouse feet. The extreme reduction in friction these offer will make movement effortless, though it may take a little bit of getting used to when you first upgrade!
Glorious G-Floats Mouse Feet (GLO-FT-D-GF)
- Made from smooth and durable ceramic to massively reduce friction and create a low resistance experience.
- Compatible for use with all Glorious Model D gaming mice.
- Four individual pads.
- Durable material offers consistent high performance.
If neither of these float your boat, then you can explore our full range instead.
A Surface to Game From
The most important accessory you can pair with your gaming mouse is a mouse mat. They optimise the surface the mouse’s sensor reads and protect your desk from scuff marks. We all know how heated battle can be, and your desk could do with some cushioning!
From small mouse pads to XXL desk pads, mouse mats come in a variety of sizes and materials, and even have additional features like RGB or USB passthrough.

- Fabric gaming surface
- Rubberised base for grip
