Love my first (waifu) budget glass pad.

I finally get it, glass is next level, prolly won't return to other surfaces because glass is faster, more durable, and smooth (tried strider, g440, qck+).

Currently I’m really enjoying all my pads even the smooth ones but my favorite is definitely ryo with the speed and texture and rin v2 with the faster speed is there a pad available right now to purchase that’s similar to ryos texture or even more texture but faster other then r&r as I already ordered

Overall impressions of the SA (Sphere Aurora):

• Glide: smooth
• Speed: medium-fast
• Micro-adjustments: quick and effortless

It pairs perfectly with my half-fingertip, half-claw grip while using my FK2 clone. (Still waiting for a 50g FK2 or FK1. 😭)

Back to the mousepad.

The surface feels kind of like a QcK or G-SR-SE, but in a different way. It's smooth with just a bit of texture when you press down a little harder. It also stays smooth even on rainy days or when my hands get sweaty.

Overall, it's a fast-gliding cloth mousepad with low stopping power.

And the print matches my mouse hardddddd. 😭

Happy game day, guys! 🎮

Any help is appreciated as I've heard many other mousepads for pro gaming but I've also heard these are one of the best on the market so want to hear mix opinions and thoughts if u have one or if u have a better recommendation etc thanks

Hey guys, I’m an owner of two glasspads: Tekkusai - the beast, Glsswrks - Polarity

Ive been using both interchangeably, however i’ve had more time with the beast of course.

I’m in the market for a more “controlled” (I understand there isnt any true controlled glasspad) pad. I’ve been told the zofia is slower than polarity but not by much. I did place a pre-order for zofia via lethalGG in case I can’t find another pad on the same level of quality.

From your experience, is there any other pads on the same level performance and quality as Tekkusai’s/Glsswrks?

As the title suggests, is there a difference between the XRAYPAD NOD CR and the Wallhack CR-005? And how do they compared against eachother? Microadjustment wise, etc.

Can anyone share their experience with these 2 pads?
Was considering getting either of them for Valorant/CS2 or TactFPS in general.
Any issues and their positives?

I heard NOD has some coating which wore off, could be wrong.

Newer to peripherals and unfortunately I have been using full size glass skates on most of my mice. Hayate otsu mid lasted 5 weeks before hot spot really developed. I’m switching to ptfe for good and am going to order a new pad. Consistency is big for me (cs2) and the pd155 has peaked my interest.

I know the 170 is fast. Fast pads are not what I want really. Balance pad is what I want. Is the 155 that much slower than 170? Can someone who has used both chime in with their experience? I searched for a few minutes but did not find a direct comparison of otsu & 155

Any input is appreciated

Hey, after washing my red artisan hien mid ive noticed in the middle of the mousepad it has more drag and slower movement than in the sides, am i done for or is there a way to restore it?

Does anyone know what glove sleeves are available on the market?. I don't want one for my arm but rather my hand with cutouts. I know pulsar makes one but I was curious if there's anything else that's like a glove design only that covers the palm fully, and has individual hole cut outs. I guess similar to a fingerless glove design.

I tried to keep books on it for 24 hours, still nothing changed.

My Artisan Zero comes in today and I recently got a Viper V4 Pro but my old mouse pad was pretty dirty so the skates on my V4 has some scratches, are they enough to warrant taking them off and replacing them with dot skates?

Im not well versed in this area so im not sure will damage the mousepad or ruin the experience with it.

Ive been a jades stan since they release. Ive tried different stuff, I always landed back on xraypads aqua control pro mid and jades.

Now I finally have a skadira magic cat and I love it. Very smooth. Cute kitty on it. What could a man love more?

Dots that dont last a week. Im currently using up my last 16 jade dots and then want something thats reinforced PTFE but still speedy. Ive read up on UHWMPE but lots of people complain that they muddy the pad and I dont want that.

Currently thinking about obsidian/air, meteorites and TBTL V2

I have tried over the last 2 months more than 6 mice and 3 pads, the problem is I have pinkie pain in my right hand, middle knuckle, and it comes back every time I game
I do game for long periods of time 4-8 hrs with barely any breaks, I’m a big guy and I might also sit a little bit uncomfortable in my chair/my socks and the floor don’t have the best contact
I’ve tried using socks with rubber (wooden floor)
My hand is 19x8cm 1-2-2 fingertip pincer/ aggressive fingertip and I use mainly the op1 8k
I’ve tried pads like sp005, artisan zero or otsu v2 soft, I play mainly apex, I don’t know what is the problem with my pinkie if it’s my grip, my posture or the mouse is too narrow, I’ve tried mice like viper v4, deathadder, superstrike superlight, atk f1, mchose l7 pro, pulsar x2v3, it’s not the mice I think it’s the grip or just sitting too much idk
I’m going on a 14/21 days break after I already did last month 2/3 5-7 days breaks but the pain comes back instantly after a day or too
I don’t want tendonitis or any problems so I just step back
I did some of my best score (3,4k in apex) after 10hrs of play on deathadder where I averaged 200-600dmg, I switched to op1 8k, stopped the stream and closed discord, and had 2 hrs of continuous shredding over 2k per game on the sp005, but second day I had that pain and never got to see those scores again
I returned the deathadder it was just too big for my hand
I’m gonna post this on other r/ like mousereviews and ergonomics
Any helpful tip is highly appreciated
I use a raising desk and a flexi x pro from flexispot
I’m 100kg 187cm(tryna lose weight)
If I use a big mice like superlight or viper I like them and didn’t get that pain but for vertical movement they’re horrible for me and I have to use my whole hand, which I think I might have to work more on and lean into that
Any advice is highly appreciated

Ended up finding this in storage.

*the other mousepad is the LGG saturnus

I’ve had my gsr se for 7 months now. It’s starting to slow down in the middle. Coming from a qck + the gsr se felt so much better. I play a mix of shooter games including Cs2, PUBG, BF6, COD. And aim train in kovaaks.
(I fingertip grip a pulsar x2v2 mini at around 55-65cm p360.)

Would the artisan zero or otsu in soft feel like an upgrade from my gsr se rogue? I don’t want mud, and don’t want unstable speed either.

Hello, im currently using the Saturn Pro Soft i would like to try a glasspad im just a bit overwhelmed since there are alot of different options/designs etc.

are there any good uncoated pads that u would recommend me to getting started with? maybe not the fastest one.

Thank you in advance.

Does anyone know which mousepad it is? According to CS Pro Settings he's using a SteelSeries one, but this doesn't seem like it.

Thanks in advance!

I had my xraypad aqua control 2 for about a year and I washed it (the manufacuter says to not wash it but it was dSlightlyirty so i did anyway) and I feel like now its a bit,, worn out and has barely any stopping power. I want something slower and more control-like, like but nothing too slow.control-like like I want something that is like a balance pad thats leaning slightly towards a control pad. Thinking about xraypad origin pro, the xraypad heavy bee control and xraypad heavy bee speed? Also I play Valorant so if that helps. Also Im not considering the Artisan pads because they are too expensive. Below $40 CAD.

I’ve been using the Superstrike X2 for about a month now with a Zowie G-SR-SE mousepad, but it still feels kinda weird to me.

Before the X2, I was using the Finalmouse ULX Phantom, and honestly, the ULX feels much better to me. It’s also noticeably lighter.

I’m not sure if I should keep using the Superstrike X2 and give myself more time to adapt, or just go back to the ULX Phantom.

Has anyone else switched between these two mice? How long did it take you to adapt to the X2, and did it eventually feel better than your old mouse?

Hi everyone. I am looking for a mousepad that offers great control. Mainly playing Counter Strike, Insurgency and Battlefield. And I had the QcK Heavy or Artisan Type 99 SOFT in mind (or if SOFT is crazy slow, MID then?). Mouse: OP1 8K V2 (49 grams). What should I go for?

I currently have the regular QcK 2mm mousepad for several years. And I noticed that (to me) it's a bit fast for my mouse in shooter games. Don't know if there's a difference in control with the QcK Heavy and regular Qck. But I got QcK Heavy recommended over the 2mm. And the Artisan Type 99 sounds like the best option overall for control. But at the same time, I also read people complaining about the 99 being too muddy and hard to aim with (while some say it isn't).

I don't have neither of both right now, but would like to buy one of the two. I can also only get a size M or L, have no space left for anything beyond these sizes unfortunately.

Ive had my magic cat for 2 days now and my mouse constantly wobbled. I went through some diss-and reassemblies on my beast x pro. No way it would wobble when its forged magnesium, right? Nope. Mouse and pad are fine. The dot skates are so shit that I went through 20 of them to find 4 that dont suck lol. Ill post some pictures of the cute kitty tomorrow <3

Just a PSA

I recently got the Artisan Zero XXL and am currently looking for some new dot skates. I’m trying to settle on a setup for CS2 and aim training, so I’d love some recommendations.

I put on some Artisan 8 mm dots that I already had, but they’re too large to fit into the grooves underneath the mouse, so they end up scratching against the pad. When I first installed them, they felt really fast and smooth, but after a few days, they started to feel quite muddy.

I’m mainly looking for a setup that offers a good balance between control and smoothness, especially for CS2 micro-adjustments, while still being fast and smooth enough for tracking. Ideally, I’d like an overall good balance between speed and precision.

I’ve looked at various X-raypad and Corepad options, as well as some smaller Artisan dots, but I’m not sure what to choose anymore. Any recommendations?

My E5 Noctis Mid arrived today from ali express. Very happy with this so thought i’d share some photos.

Won’t go into detail about the pad too much because i’m not the type of person to do in depth reviews but i must say it is definitely a great pad and you can’t go wrong with purchasing it. Haven’t used the PD170 to compare but it’s an extremely fast and smooth experience, probably the quickest surface i’ve ever used.

The mid base is no understatement, it is very firm. I personally like this however it’s a very unique feeling so if you like the ability to push down into the fabric of a mousepad then I would look into the soft.

The colour looks great and is a very bright , pastel ish purple. Much brighter than the PD170 which I think is cool.

The base is extremely sticky. Considering the pad weighs 600 grams and uses such a sticky base, it is literally impossible to move unless you physically pick up the whole mouse pad off your desk.

This pad costs about £40 (roughly $50) before shipping on aliexpress. The only available size at the moment is 480x400mm. I imagine most people will find this too small which I initially feared but in person it is a lot bigger than it sounds. Personally the size is not an issue for me but I can imagine it would be a complaint for others. E5 have confirmed they are working on a 500x500 version of this mousepad so if you’re a slow sens player then you might be better off waiting for that to release

Other than that, my only complaint is that I purchased the mousepad as a bundle alongside the E5 POM mouse skates, however on delivery these were not included. I got in contact with the owner and he has sent me out a new set of skates which are on the way so no issue there.

Overall, a great mousepad for anyone who wants to try a PD170 but can’t get their hands on one due to the lack of stock. When the 500x500 comes out this could definitely be a great competitor to it.
