I have little "puck" magnets 10x5mm, can place 2 or 3 of them inside mini to increase its weight? So the mouse could have at least ~80 grams?

@@oldi184 I guess you could . It might be worth trying to get use to the reduced weight though as it can create a more consistent and effortless movement.

bit late but dont push the new mouse skates in with your fingers. it even says just place them there and then push the whole mouse down on the mousepad. this is because you want to create an air pocket in the middle of the skate. if you push that out with yor fingers the skates will only make contact to the mousepad with it edges and you dont want that.
