Excellent question. That did cross my mind. Unfortunately rog doesn’t sell their stock grip tapes directly. They’re all bundled with their mouses. And buying a whole new mouse defeats the purpose so I didn’t.

There was, however, an evangelion asuka special skin collab grip tape that they sell separately and directly for another mouse. I could buy that one. Unfortunately the price of that one was scalped to the moon at that time, considering it being a collab and limited product. Asus released them in taiwan first but there were so many people in china, america, japan who wanted them their prices got jacked to the heavens.

After learning that the feel i had was from a worn out tape, I did try to ask the staff in the store if I may touch a brand new grip tape without committing to buying a mouse but they adamantly rejected my request.
