Should You Buy a Glass Mousepad?

Рет қаралды 64,202

Жыл бұрын

The Superglide mousepad is finally here.
It’s Pulsar’s first premium glass pad and while it looks incredible, it’s playing catch up. The glass mousepad market has been dominated by SkyPAD for a long time. They’ve produced some of the highest quality hard pads for years.
But is Pulsar’s Superglide pad both cheaper, and better than the SkyPAD? Let's find out.

As someone who has to move their setup a few times a year I would be incredibly worried about damaging a glass pad.

theyre tempered glass.. at least the skypad is idk about the superglide. But you can drop the skypad on the ground and it will be fine.

This title is misleading. You're not evaluating whether people should get a glass pad, but which one they should get if they already think they do

I've been using a skypad for almost 2 years now and I can say, if your interested get a plastic hardpad first. Much cheaper and less of a commitment as a glass pad. If you enjoy a plastic hard pad and wear it out like I did I can reccomend an upgrade

Longevity is a huge reason why these can be quite popular if kept up and cleaned occasionally. Razer brought one out recently which is not expected and reviews are good alongside the super glide pad, so there's future potential. Just hope they can make them a bit slower cause goddamn they're too speedy.

You should've tried the Cerapad Kin. It's a glass pad as well but it's more focused on control. I've been using the Skypad 3.0 for over a year now since the Kickstarter and at first it was way too fast for me but now that I've adapted I love it.

@sarcasmgenocidal4046 Жыл бұрын

Does it wear down, or how often do you have to change out your mousekskates, cos rn im using razors sphex v3, and the surface is goooone, and not as smooth anymore witb my ptfe mouseskates being worn down

@AsreiMurasame 9 ай бұрын

Superglides are better once the coating wears off of them. I've been using a X-ray Thor and a Glorious Ice with them and originally the Superglides caused the mouse to repeatedly slide off my desk but after the wear in they glide less but are still extremely smooth to use, smoother than normal PTFE skates.

They do get dirty and take some time to break in. I find using a magic easier helps me get them right. I’m glad I got black. I literally have to take a flashlight and hold it certain way to see the flakes of the mouse skates that stick to the pad. I clean it regularly. Love it though kore than my skypad 3.0

@CallMeP1ink 5 күн бұрын

Here’s a tip, if you don’t want to pay high prices for a piece of glass just buy the biggest iPad or Tab screen protector and stick it to your table and works the same for a fraction of the cost and most times you get 2 or 3 protectors you can always combine them.

Don't waste your Money on an Mousepad just bc its expensive or Pro Players use it. I use an 30$ Mousepad from Roccat and im pretty good with it.

@Katze822228 11 ай бұрын

You can get away with spending a lot less than 30$ on a great pad. My cheapest pad was just 3€ and I used it for a couple months. It was a no name deskmat size mousepad with a 3mm rubber base and a smooth polyester surface, the glide was great, I prefered it over my more expensive pads. The only reason I stopped using it was because i wanted to try cordura and that's what I'm currently using. A MP511 that I got for 10€ on amazon. I also just bought a skypad because i think I will really like the surface. I got it for 74€ on amazon and it'll arrive next week. Usually I wouldn't spend that much on a pad but I always really wanted to try glass and I probably wouldn't be able to get a high quality XL glass pad at that price any time soon again.

This video didnt answer the initial question in the title of the video. All you guys did was compare 2 different glass pads rather than discuss the differences between glass pads, plastic pads and cloth pads which is what people would be looking for when reading the title of the video. If you are going to do a comparison video state that in the title rather than clickbaiting. The content can still be informational without the misleading title.
