You're probably one of the few tech reviewer that has authority over something like this. From the gameplay it's clear you're an FPS veteran. Good shit.

One of my favorite KZfaq accounts. Unique, insightful, fun to watch, professional, and way underrated.

i was literally just googling a review of this awhile ago. Hopefully, we can see a 1-month review of this. I know you've used it for 1 week heavily but would still love to hear again about it after a month.

7:57 Oof Damn what a shot DUDE, you really are so amazing. Keep up the good work really love your Channel.

I swapped to these glides and switched to a high control pad (inked gaming) and it's now my favorite set up. Feels amazing. Ty to the reddit mousepad review spreadsheet.

I'm a medium control pad user and these feet were way to fast out of the box, the first week I was using them on slower and slower pads and eventually I went all the way down to a worn GSR trying to get any level of control back, but the only thing that changed on cloth control pads was the glide felt slower but the near 0 static friction stayed the same. I ended up switching to hybrid speed pads like the Venus and Hien and had a much better time on those, even if those pads are not my cup of tea normally. After 3 weeks I felt like I was clawing my way back up to where I was on PTFE, a combination of them slowing down and me getting used to them. After replacing them with Corepads my performance was instantly better. My advice if you don't like them after 2 weeks don't waste your time just go back to ptfe, they were worth trying and are super unique feeling, but not for everyone.

I've been waiting for your review on the glides for a little while and now and I'm so happy you finally got it out. Thanks for the awesome reviews, much appreciate it.

honestly ty for that last bit on how it feels on a clean/dirty pad, no one every says that stuff in mouse feet reviews so i end up having to test it my self.

I had huge benefits in cs go from using them. All those little movements you notice with them happen with ptfe skates too, they are just slower and will lightly impact your aim. With the superglides I can notice my little flaws better and correct them. I played faceit from the first hour and I've been performing better than usual from the start.

I just bought the Pulsar Xlite V2 Wireless and the Superglides. The mouse came a day before the glides and it felt amazing, the glides however, take away any feedback you get from the mouse pad. I was really excited to try them out but since I only play fps games I don't think I am going to keep them on. I have gone down significantly with my DPI and I still notice my aim walking, having to try and compensate with dragging a finger doesn't feel natural. I had thought when I got them that I was going to ceramic coat the glass to prevent micro scratches....that would have made these things impossible to use. Great idea and I love the design they implement into the glass but nobody sees it.

Really nice informative reviews/guides, but I gotta say the part that stands out the most to me is that your gameplay clips are actually good asf. To me that gives the credibility to what someone’s saying about fps game related stuff more than anything

I've been using them for months on a gpro superlite, and I absolutely love them. One thing to be aware of is that if your pad has moisture pr dampness, the moisture will slow down the mouse on the pad. Recently, I washed my pad and couldn't wait to get that new feeling again, but it was super sticky because the pad was still holding a bit of moisture. I used a blow dryer to get that last bit out, and it felt perfect again.

This review 100% resonates with my personal experience with the superglides. I personally do not use these feet unless I’m tracking stuff. I would recommend only buying these for a secondary mouse which is only used for aim trainers or really aim heavy games. In any other scenario these feet feel annoying quickly.

Great review as always Ali, ive been using them on my viper ultimate on my hien and love them.

Yessss I commented that you should make a video about these a few weeks back, and here it is! Great hearing your opinion on these….pulsar actually has some new mice coming out that may be worth reviewing as well. Cheers

thank you for this ive been really considering these and you helped me decide on em more confidently. Also we need another setup tour B)

I've been using them for the last couple of months and my experiences are actually 100% represented in this vid. (*i have the Lethal gaming gear mouse skates though*). Very nice Video!👍

I own these glass skates for a few months and yeah they do feel much better after a week. They are too fast out of the box but after a week they became slightly slower but they never slow down further (plateaued), they are super consistent and should last longer than PTFE which will slow down more and more over time. The speed after a week makes it usable for CSGO, but out of the box it is too fast.

i stopped playing games for a few months and when i came back, felt like i lost all my aim so i thought it was the best time to try and get use to my skypad that i was always so afraid of using, and now i cant go back to a cloth pad, i just feel so much more in control and when i switch back to even my hien mid i feel like i can't move. i'm assuming this is a very similar effect to what you had here, its really hard at first but once you get it you feel so much more control.

Hats off for the creativity in this review!

this channel is proof that good content always succeeds. seems like a few months ago when you were at 100k! love your content, its always refreshing to hear a familiar accent

I enjoy glass feet on slightly heavier mice. Definitely reduces the resistance the extra weight adds.

I've been waiting for lethal skates glass feet to be in stock. Ordered these superglides before this review finished. I use fairly high sensitivity on my setup tried lowering it but couldn't stand it. This will definitely help with those micro adjustments with my current sensitivity.

Thanks for such detailed tutorial, it explained everything about glass mouse skates~

Hair dryer test was genius! Had no clue they'd even move at all from something like that.

This test with a hairdryer is just insane. Amazing content as usual

been trying to get some for my g303 shroud ever since I saw boardzy's review. Really enjoy seeing yours as well.

Glad this come - thank you. Similar experience can be simulated by using a hard surface mouse pad (glass, or razor scraby 9 years ago). Use the G pro wireless (80G, smaller feet) compensate this at right amount.

Great content as always! As an older gamer/fps, the trend back in the day was all about having less friction. It was what I was used to and performed best with in my teen years. Those products started to vanish on the market over time for cloth mousepads. I was bewildered by the popularity of the cloth pads and even the "fast" ones felt like I was fighting and struggling against the surface while I was playing. I recently tried out the Skypad Glass and so far I've been fairly pleased with it, it's still not "flying off the desk" friction-less but it's as close as I can get to the "good ol' days". I might have to revisit some surfaces with the Superglides at some point though.

7:57 Nice shot!!

Glass skates plus a fast cloth pad is a deadly combo, using the skates on a GPW superlight and a fnatic dash mouse pad made my aim a lot more deadly, it gives me speed and smoothness yet just enough control for sudden flicks and stops. It is a God bless for a low-sens gamer like me, CSGO at 480eDPI and Apex at 720eDPI for Apex.

Goo Awayyy, your one of the best tech reviewers IMO and you play way better than most people that play 4hrs or more a day.....it's not fair!

I love these pads too. There was definitely a breaking and adjustment period. I also noticed that I don’t get as much mouse fatigue because there is less effort with moving it. I use it with GN mouse mat with the pulsar wireless mouse

Holy shit the hairdryer test is genius!!

Deep knowledge content as always 👌

Thanks for showing these. I got "teflon" pads for my G502 that are better than stock that I'll stick with for a while. Glass would be too slick for me.

I bought these for my logitech g703. I would say its definitely a noticeable change in movement. I will probably take you a week to get used to this and train your wrist be able to stop on shots. I play Valorant and I had to make some adjustments to my Sens for the game. The main thing after "breaking these in" it feels a lot more fluid movement. @$25 its not bad. Unlike Optimum I haven't noticed any difference in glide after the break in. I have had them almost a month and they are amazing and definitely worth the investment if you are gonna play FPS games. also with g703 vs the superlight, the g703 has less skate area than the superlight so the g703 has less contact area to glide on it.

I’ve had these for a couple of weeks now and love them, lowered my dpi and in game sense a little and it’s been a dream to play with. Tracking people in warzone has never felt smoother. Also with the lowered dpi in windows, I’ve felt the mouse is much more usable than at a higher dpi.

I got these today, I play tarkov mainly and within 5 minutes I was making headshots with ease. And beat my max kill record in the first raid. A major upgrade for me....I love them !!! I don't get cursor drift or any issues with desktop use. This is the future in skates and for me they are forking excellent. Edit: G Pro X

its is pretty simple if you got some muscle control you counter the movement you initiated which can make the gameplay much MUCH more precise The thing is many aren't willing to train to get used to it. I was willing to and my aim keeps on improving past scores in aimlab what it were before.

Hey! I have a superglide superlight and I use a artisan hein. I would have to agree with them being way too fast, I was almost nudged into taking them off after a few hours. However, the micro adjustments that they allow is ridiculously advantageous after break in. I mainly play valorant and I love them, don't give up on them without letting them break in!

This reminds me of the LEXIT ceramic pads I bought some time ago. At the first time the "friction less" experience was too much for me but in a pair of weeks trying to go back was impossible. I haven't hear of these but y would likely try it.

Being honest better than lure anyone to buy things without any knowledge whatsoever that’s why I watch optimum’s videos always is my priority

The glide speed slows down. Had mine a while and they felt too fast at first. Now they feel much better. I lowered my DPI slightly and the control feels normal. I compare these to linear switches versus tactile. Core pads feel like a light tactile cherry brown compared to the glass being a smooth silent linear. They are a bit numb and and lack feedback.

Had them for 2 weeks now and I agree so much about the horrible desktop usage these pads provide... Also for crosshair placement intensive games it really depends how you grip your mouse and what sensitivity you are playing on, to benefit from these pads. Increasing to 45cm/360 in valorant with superglides on a hien soft helped alot for me for all micromovements (flicks, adjustments, tracking)

Great feedback on these glass glides, but the looks hooked me so bad! I want the reds and I'd probably let the mouse rest upsidedown when not using so I can admire it! hahahh 🤘⚡

Have been using them for months, love them

I have these on xlite v2 mini and gpro superlight and honestly they are too slick. If your desk isn't perfectly level you will notice that the mouse and your cursor drifts when you are not even touching the mouse. The other thing is it's tougher to right click on some things unless you press down on mouse as it gets interpreted as a click drag. Does this both on Ninja FX zero and hien pads

Been using these for about a week now, was expecting more of a feel of difference from the stock feet, but they definitely felt more smooth in the micro movements. It’s kinda crazy when I started hitting more noticeable wingman shots…. Idek if it’s the skates but I definitely see a difference in the amount of wingman shots I hit now. I also modded my switches and scroll encoder that may play a part in it aswell lol

I do lots of flick shots and use super low sensitivity, the glass feet works really well for me in games. It is a trade between accuracy to responsiveness.

As someone with shaky hands, it's surprising to me how surprising the motion filtering/damping effects are to you! I was very happy when cloth mouse pads became standard and I didn't have to try hunt down stock of razer control pads. You have sold me on not getting these, and that's not a point against Superglide, but definitely a point for you. Thanks

i had a glass ice mat for years, when steelseries bought them out i puchased one of there bigger improved version glass mats, and still use it to this day. i use it with a G pro superlight with the std ptfe skates it came with and feels perfect for me.

I was scared to try them on gpx so I bought a copy for g703 and tried them on LGG saturn and once they break in they’re surprisingly nice to use even in CS and VAL.

Totally different item but I started using the razer fire fly v2 mouse pad. It's a hard surface and I believe it has helped my aiming and shooting in fps games. The surface allows the mouse to glide effortlessly

just got some a couple weeks ago, really enjoy them. i play a really slow sens, and they seem to be perfect for me

That intro just gave me chills holy cow

Optimum Tech: ‘As you can see my aim is complete garbage here’ Also Optimum Tech: *Shows off aim equal to me on my best of days* Me: 😫

Hey Ali, i was a little worried about some of the criticisms you had for these slides but I gotta say, for heavier mice this is actually a great upgrade, I just put these on the g903 which is 110g, and there is way less resistance when sliding back and forth which is great so far, i can see how this can be rought for people with lightweights though tbh. Another minor detail is that noise is also reduced which probably doesnt matter to most people! anywho great review and keep it up!

solid review like allways!

I cracked up when I saw the hairdryer! But it was a fantastic way to get your point across! XD

Call me crazy. But curious how using the glass pad on just the lower portion of the mouse and stock pad on the upper would feel. I feel like that might help with sweeping the mouse but while shooting "clicking" you'll have the added friction from the stock pad. Definitely worth a shot?

I've used these for around 6 months and after the first 3-4 months the skates got very sticky and lost their 'super' glide. A little bit of soapy water on them made them slide nice and smooth again, but they're not as insane as when I first put them on. They used to be overkill now they're just fine. I still find the plastic skates to be the best option however, as they didn't gunk up in the same way quite as easily.

i like that u actually know how to play games when u talk about this stuff

We need these as a mobile conposite but right now i just use metal on glass, the more sensitive atleast i’ve found trying to get the lowest friction possible for sure inpacts your aim at the start but after a while and you turn the sens down it’s insanely clean for tracking and headtapping. At the endof the day your gonna get better with more sensitive and friction less concepts but over time with lower sens it’s insane, you could technically find the absolute perfect sens for you if there is little to no friction. Definitely not for everyone but for those who choose to main them i can assure you it will unliock new limits

I've gotten used to play without glides, and with ingrown glue residue from where the glides sat on my mouse that now have come down into my QcK+ mousepad. That is the kind of stopping power I need. I combat the high resistance with high sensitivity. My tracking actually won't improve with another mouse or clean mousepad. It kind of stays the same, but I do miss all the prediction shots with explosives like rocket launchers when I don't have the stopping power. The only benefit with high glide is that I have to lower the sensitivity that helps with long distance railing, but that's it. Even movement/strafejumping gets worse with higher glide. I hit up to around 46% LG during death matches aganist noobs. I would like to improve that, but I don't really know how. Getting used to no glides and dirty mousepad isn't the best thing in the long run though since it's hard to become consistant when the pad eventually gets too slow even for me due to the dirt.

I honestly think that superglides could be useful as a training tool. Get better mouse control with super low-friction skates (because you have to), and then back on normal skates, you should have better smoothness and not need to micro adjust as much.

I feel like when people talk about these slowing down they don't mean static friction. I feel they slow down in terms of dynamic friction and for me become perfect! So easy to micro adjust and still hit perfect flicks

What if you just have the glide on the top with the stock pads on the other? Something to balance

Thats not just "a" hairdryer 2:04 . THats like one of the most expensive hair drers out there "THE DYSON".. This dude is all about getting the best isnt he :)

There's a reason why very few pros use glass skates. They do look cool but in reality it's just a marketing gimmick.

I can see that itll improve speed and tracking when you get used to it but the traction from your mousepad is really helpful in certain circumstances mostly when aiming in FPS unless you have godlike mouse control

Wanting on if they are going to release G502 skates. It is also good to have an option to replace the pads when maintenance is done on the mouse, like cleaning it out or when the adhesive on the pads fail.

If you want to preserve the day 1 glide of these forever, use an automotive ceramic nanocoating on them. I saw this being done on reddit and the results were insane. Ceramic is much harder to scratch than glass so all the lint and dust particles will have no impact on it

When will you review the xlite wireless? I do curious how it stacks up against rvu or superlight in terms of click and sensor latency

I love these on my glorious air, looking for an Alterative hard pad but I think glass skates with hard pad is the way to go, at least for me

I also tried these very recently on the superlight. I loved the feel of the glide, I'd have stuck with them for a while, EXCEPT---they made my mouse cursor drift when it was sitting perfectly stationary, and that was a dealbreaker for me. The click-dragging referenced in the video was an annoyance for me using it windows. How it was happening, I have no idea, I tried a bunch of things, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. Maybe my desk is very slightly unlevel, but even after I put a weight beside the mouse to ensure it couldn't slide left, it still drifted left on my screen. I chatted with someone else who said they noticed the same thing (though it seemed to bother them less). I switched to corepads because my factory pads were too battered to keep using. It was a costly little experiment.

you are one of the only tech youtubers that are good at gaming

think it will pair welll with motivity on raw accel to give you a slight bit of resistance while still having that "ball mouse" feel also I started playing fps on a ball mouse not a lazer mouse ive not use super glide but i think i would love the feel of a continuous moving crosshair

Thank you for the recommendation of the Hayate Otso!

Thumbnail is so clean dude.

I love Superglides on the GPX, feels so smooth on a Hien.

Interesting. I feel like I have to try these out now. What I'd really be curious about is to spend a year with them and then try to go back to stock and see what you would prefer

Fast af boi I feel like these qoild be awesome for people using a bit heavier mice like viper ultimate and pwnage symm coz the glide does make it more fast and feel lighter

i just gotem today. they are very fast and buttery smooth, micro-adjustments are so easy with them, but i need to get used to them.

Have u tried the glorious elements ice pad? I just bought it and its amazing now i just need the ceramic g floats for my model o wireless

I use a MOW with ceramic feet on a Glorious Elements Ice pad and my aim has never been better. Took a week or two to match and exceed my aim labs and kovaaks scores but I can’t go back now. And 6 months in I don’t have a slow area on the pad. Might test these but I love ceramics and they should behave similarly.

for very low dpi setting, the superglides, do reduce the amount of fatigue when aiming with full arm movements

Aside from weight potentially being different I don't really see an issue with using the hairdryer for your mouse reviews. Perfectly illustrated the difference. I have the same mouse but feel I lack some control, so I'll probably check these out :) gj

Hi friend! Great vid always interesting to watch your reviews What your best recommendations for low sens apex legends player for GPS and Finalmouse 12 mouse feets with hayate otsu/Zero?

I like mine for my Viper Ultimate with Razer Strider for Apex Legends. and Yes, I lowered my Sensitivity and preferred it than its stock feet. Struggled to rank up beyond Plat4 before as solo, now I am Diamond while still playing solo😆😁

I'm a hard presser too, and once you said it was consistent regardless of the force applied I was sold. My stock mouse tends to get stuck on my table if that makes sense.

Just installed Tiger Ice feet on my DeathAdder v2 Pro, the glide improves to a subtle level that I can feel my aim is better in-game! So yeah, might not really need something like glass feet.

hey man great review, would you say mouse weight won’t matter anymore ? I’m assuming since pressure don’t matter. Thanks!

That intro was really clean

Yeah dude, that hair dryer bit is what sold me!

Optimum try this if you still have: just use the glass puck with core pads It’s a real nice mix

My best mouse experience is actually with a4tech bloody mouse. I freakin love the aluminum skates on them. No friction at all and the lifespan is like infinite. I've had my bloody mouse almost 10 years and the skates are in perfect condition. Not a single scratch or wear at all and the friction doesn't change at all no matter how blotchy, dirty etc. your pad is. Unfortunately, cause there's the goddamn internal "CPU" and program for auto aims etc. (which you still need to unlock) all bloody mouses are banned by many anti-cheats. I wish some other brand would use aluminum skates.

1st stage: default mouse. 2nd stage: glass mouse skates. 3rd stage: air hockey.

Is it a good idea to use them on a SkyPad 3.0?

the one thing i got from this video is in my 10 years of gaming, there are swappable mice stickers and there is a mouse pad for control or speed. thank you!
