Use this guide to remove and replace the feet (also called skates or pads) on the bottom of a Logitech G903.

With sufficient heat, it’s possible to cleanly remove the feet, but you may need replacements if one rips or any adhesive is left behind.

The feet are secured to the bottom of the mouse with strong adhesive. In order to cleanly remove them, the adhesive needs to be thoroughly heated.
Heat an iOpener and lay it on the mouse feet for one minute to heat the adhesive.
Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer on the Low heat setting to soften the adhesive.
If you're using a hair dryer, only heat the feet a few seconds at a time or you may warp the plastic shell.

The feet have two layers—a rubberized one and an adhesive pad underneath.
If you're reusing the feet, be very careful not to separate the two layers or damage the feet.
Slide the tip of an opening pick under an edge of the bottom mouse foot, making sure it goes under both the foot and its adhesive pad.
If the foot feels stuck, apply more heat and try again.
Gently slide your pick farther under the foot and lift until you can grip it with your fingers.
Use your fingers to peel up and remove the foot.

If the rubber layer separated from its adhesive pad:
Slide the flat end of a spudger under an edge of the adhesive. If the adhesive seems stuck, you may need to heat it further.
Peel the adhesive off.
To install a new foot:
If any of the feet got damaged during removal or separated from their adhesive pads, replace them.
Use a spudger to carefully scrape up and remove any remaining adhesive bits.
Use isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth to thoroughly clean all adhesive residue from the foot recesses. Allow the surface to completely dry.
Remove the feet from their backing and firmly press them into place.
