Great video dude, it definitely is strangely iconic for just being a mouse pad, I used 2 over the course of 7 years, for something so cheap they really do last. Due to wanting to try something different on a whim, I bought a Roccat Taito speed and never went back. It;s strange how a subtle difference in the weaving can change so much.....but I'll always have a soft spot for the QCK.

just ordered my first one. ive been using the hyperx fury x-large for about a year now and its gotten pretty warn out plus i switched desks and its a little too big for my liking so i get a qck large. my only concern is on my new desk i had to attach 2 top pieces together and im a little nervous that the slight lift up will be felt through the mousepad because of how thin it is... either way ill find a solution. cant wait to use it

@ZXTech Жыл бұрын

Haha it really depends on whether you like a fast or slow pad! The QCK is really slow vs the Hien, so it might actually not be a good switch. If you were going artisan I definitely recommend the Zero, or Pulsar ES1, or Zowie GSR More. They are faster but still not too slippery

I've spent thousands on PC parts, and have built many PC's for friends, colleagues, and for our whole department at work. I use SteelSeries Mice on all the PC's I built at work because the Rival 310 is cheap and great. I use a Rival 5 series personally at home, with a big QCK pad, and a SteelSeries Arctis Pro. They're all really great products. I've had to deal with RMA once for a Rival 310 and they handled it for me pretty well. I am just waiting for my Corsair Keyboard to die to replace it with a SS.. I actually even replaced my keycaps with SteelSeries ones, too lol

I was using a mmX ("X" cuz i dont remember the number) from Corsair, which has little to no friction, the problem is i need a little bit of control, and QCK Edge is so good at that. I ordered just now a QCK Heavy, because the actual QCK i have is small which ill use for work. Also, i had the old glass QCK when i was a teenager weird mouse pad tbh.
