It took me about a week to get used to the Skypad, I got it because after a few months I could never get the cloth mousepads to feel consistent even after cleaning, it was never the same as factory new. I value the consistency of the glass pad, even after a year it feels brand new. Glad you mentioned about the PTFE glides and muddy feel of the mousepad, but even after cleaning my G640 cloth mousepad it feels rough towards the center and smoother at the edges. Anyways great video EDIT: To clean the skypad I just run a lint roller over it and if it ever gets really dirty you get just a wetwipe

Sorry you didn't like the skypad :( I love mine with corepads and just being able to wipe it once with a cloth and know that it feels the exact same as it did (in every spot) a year ago is great. The inconsistencies of cloth and needing to wash them to keep them feeling the same was annoying. I think the wrist bunching isn't an issue for me because the games I play don't require me to ever really lift my wrist. It can stay planted the whole time. I do have to wipe sweat every 30 minutes or so but that just shows how much sweat (salt, oil, skin, etc) is going into a cloth pad constantly without realizing it.

Flicks are not very easy, but with practice, it gets easy, tracking is insane, I feel like I have aim assist sometimes. If you don't sweat while gaming, I think skypad is no brainer, it's always consistent, a quick wipe down before playing is all the maintenance you need. Humidity doesn't affect performance which is something I had a problem on cloth pads with hyperglide, which was my setup before, where everyday day it would feel different, some days I had good aim, other I didn't.

Honestly I think the skypad 2.0 was the perfect balance of speed, low static friction and good dynamic friction. There's a bit to be said about glass pads being too fast as you've shown. Ignoring the gripping aspect a hard pad doesn't give the ability to use the cushioning of a soft pad no matter now plush or firm it is to increase the dig of feet. Surface area doesn't increase friction but the different angle of feet against the surface does and this is something that you can't do with hard pads. All the more reason a slightly more controlled pad in general is best for a hard pad because you're not losing any smoothness or inability to absolutely fly anyway. Skypad 3 was honestly a silly product over the skypad 2. Basically a butter meme pad for people chasing a slippery glide for no actual benefit

I would probably main this pad if it didn't.

Adding to the superglide, the Razer Strider mousepad (maybe because of the rough surface) has a noticeably inconsistent feeling if not watched monthly. It also shows some shiny particles on the dirty part of the mousepad, which tanks the smoothness even further. The dirty part of the Razer Strider would be similar to a QCK Edge (my old mousepad), while the clean one would be very fast, making traversing from the clean to dirty quite jarring.

I have a Roccat Alumic mousepad that I bought several years ago. What I found is that although the pad itself doesn't wear out, the skates do wear out and the material becomes embedded into the grain of the pad and is impossible to remove. They will also wear out your skates faster. The Skypad is advertised as "The last pad you will ever buy" but I strongly suspect that you will run into the same issue I ran into with my Alumic pad. There is no such thing as a pad that lasts forever.

had the superglides and reeeaaally loved them. I've never had less issues with tracking in Apex and had my highest-kill game with them. But the fact, that you couldn't click without moving and vibrations on your desk led to mouse movement were things I couldn't get used to. I still have the Superglides on my Outset AX but changed to Tiger Ice on my NP-01. Aas you said, not as fast and easy tracking, but balanced and consistent. And I get to play CS or Valorant, too. Maybe if they'd create some Superglides with a tad more stopping power this would be a thing even Pro's could change to.

I try the Superglides on my shroud 303 but after couples of week, I notice going slower and slower, even in the new mouse.. had to remove them and re install the old skate, and from 60% fast with Superglides went back to 100% with original skates. going back to corepad air

I haven't had an issue with sticking to the skypad at all, been using it for a year now and I love it. First with a Zowie EC3-C and then with the Finalmouse Phantom Wireless. No need for sleeves, always a smooth glide, however I play with fairly low sens so my arm never stays in one spot for long, which could potentially be the case. If I left it in the same spot playing a slower FPS like Valorant, and mostly doing small adjustments with my wrist, I could see that being the case. I think low-friction speed pads are typically better for low sens players overall for that same issue. While high sens benefits more from having a more control-like pad.
@asoidfhowehjr82482 жыл бұрын
I use one at 28cm/360 with an XM1r and the only time my wrist/arm becomes and issue wrt friction is when I've been playing for hours and I end up placing my arm/wrist on the pad from getting tried, when I normally don't place them on it. I don't play Val too seriously, but from what I've played it was actually pretty nice.
@senseofpermanence2 жыл бұрын
@@asoidfhowehjr8248 My sens is at 43cm/360, though it used to be 57 which is why I went up a bit. I generally play faster games where barely such a large swipe to do a 180 was just not working for me.

@@senseofpermanence yeah, I used to play Overwatch on 43-50cm, and I felt like fighting flankers as hitscan was needlessly hard. Recently started wrist aiming, and I'm still getting used to it, but I actually prefer the Skypad + ptfe feet over anything else. I tried really hard to main the Hien, but I just couldn't for whatever reason. The tracking and the occasional flicking I do on OW is godsend for me on this pad.

If you'e using an Artisan pad with texture, I do not recommend the AIR corepads. They have a textured surface, and so you get texture on texture which ends up being scratchy.

I also use the super glides and hien both have a good bit of wear and I still love them. They have both slowed down a lot but the consistency is much better than my corepads, think when ur tracking and you kinda get that shaky jittery movement this is almost completely eliminated with this setup

Would cutting the tips off of a garden-variety cotton glove help? You could also take a one-size liner, stretch it over and mark where you'd want to cut. Would keep the fingertips exposed well enough to better know where your fingertips are at.

I recently picked up the Superglides just because I wanted to try them out on my GPRO Superlight, and it was not what I expected at all. With my LGG Saturn, there is a slower spot (where I make contact with the most) and I had a similar experience as you. It feels very muddy but at the same time, I'm still able to micro-adjust with my fingertips/wrist very easily which is quite preferable for me (I play VALORANT). With the expectation that I wasn't going to be able to control my mouse at all because of the extremely low friction, this happened to be quite the pleasant surprise for me. 8)
