I’ve had zero luck finding any info on this. Maybe my search skills are bad :/

What I’m looking for are mouse skates that create the feel of a mouse on a mouse pad. All the skates I’m seeing are for ultra low friction when used on a mouse pad. Basically, I want to get rid of the need for a mouse pad on my desk for aesthetic and practical reasons and am hoping that someone knows about a set of mouse skates that would facilitate this.

    Most mice I’ve used already have low friction feet and work just fine on any sufficiently smooth surface that isn’t glass (excepting in the case of old school ball roller mice which would work on glass). I haven’t used a mouse pad in decades since my desk is smooth enough.

    You can even buy low friction spray on stuff to spray directly onto the surface you plan on using the mouse to make it even smoother.

      My main concern is reducing the rubbing noise from the mouse on the desk surface and regaining even a remotely close feel to a mousepad. I’ve got half a mind to glue some felt to the bottom of a cheap mouse I have to see if that gets close to the desired result at this point.
