I can't decide because I'd like to hear more about these peds first.

Also have a fan blowing adequate air flow towards your pad

Pro tips

I haven't had a glasspad before, I have only be using Artisan pads for the past 5 years but I don't want to spend 120 EUR on two of them again. I was thinking of buying the SP-004.

What are your thought on it? I don't play Val or CS, I mainly play tracking heavy games and League on the side.

Bought it for 2 euro at the Action

The pad is very slow even slower than a Saturn Pro

Which of these would be “better”? Know its all personal preference but those of you who have had one or both of them which did you enjoy more?

I mostly play cod but also some cs2 and other fps games.

What I’m looking for is the “lowest” friction possible mouse skates, any recommendations?

I just got a new kitten and he's been great but he recently discovered he can now jump onto my desk and start wreaking havoc everywhere. I love my Saturn Pro and I really don't want it to get scratched up so does anyone have any tips regarding this new kitty?

My current mousepad is not super good; 30$ and spent half of its life in storage collecting god knows what. the mousepad also feels different when gliding on the X vs Y axis and some times moves weird when moving diagonally, but I assume that is hard to avoid with cloth because of how its woven. I would like a mouse pad that's humidity resistant, has no coating on the surface. if anyone could help It would be greatly appreciated

i’ve ordered an artisan zero fx soft from their site about a week and a half ago and still haven’t received any info on how close it is, where it is, when it should arrive, and people said i’ll get something like a tracking number emailed but i didn’t and i dont know where to enter it. i’m also in romania and pretty curious to see if i got scammed or not, thank you!

I am looking for a new mousepad. I would be my first expensive mousepad. I have 2 options currently, either to buy the Saturn pro readily available in my country for $60 or import a zero for $85 including customs and shipping. Also for my current mousepad I am using a gigantus v2 and It feels comfortable but a tiny bit fast. Which one do you guys suggest I buy.

Both are from X-Raypad are the ones from wallhack better for the SP-004? thoughts?

I wanted to take a new mousepad, i have rn the razer strider and I Dont like it, too fast, have i to buy artisan zero or zowie grs?

My Opinion on Glass Mousepads, Especially the Dark Kazemi Model

At first, I was really impressed and quite pleased with it. I'm not typically a fan of speed mousepads, as I usually prefer control or mud pads – my go-to being the GSR1, which really suits my aiming style. But when I saw the Dark Kazemi's design, I found it so beautiful that it combined perfectly with my curiosity to try a glass pad! I ended up paying an extremely high price here in Brazil, equivalent to about $280. The taxes and store fees are just absurd here.

After two weeks of use and with over 20 different mousepads in my collection, I’ve come to the conclusion that a glass mousepad isn’t the best choice as an all-purpose pad if you’re planning to rely on it as your only one.

Main Downsides

The biggest downside for me is, without a doubt, the dirt buildup. It picks up every little speck of dust, making it painfully obvious when it’s dirty. I either have to wipe it down every time or put up with it, and in the long run, this cleaning routine becomes unbearable – it’s a deal-breaker for me.

I also tried using a sleeve with it, but I couldn’t get used to it. My arm felt too loose and harder to control, so I prefer to have direct skin contact with the surface. Luckily, I don’t sweat much, so that doesn’t interfere.

Another issue is that when you click while the mouse is stationary, it’s so fast that even a slight click tends to move the mouse. It’s nearly impossible to keep the pointer still, which can be quite annoying!

On the Bright Side

Once you get used to it and can control the speed a bit, it feels amazing to have zero resistance when moving the mouse, especially with heavier mice. My G502, for example, glides beautifully on it with minimal effort. I actually think glass pads suit heavier mice better than lighter ones.

Switching back to a mud pad afterward feels like being trapped; it’s an awful feeling of restriction, and it takes my brain a lot of time with a cloth pad to readjust.

In the end, I think it’s worth it for those who can afford more than one mousepad, especially for everyday use and as a way to make your setup look stunning. The designs are fantastic – I’m seriously tempted to get the Hana model now, even if it costs me a right kidney!

Hi everyone, im a competitive cs player and ive been using Qck heavy for a few years but i would like a mousepad with more control since i tend to lets say flick away from enemies sometimes and miss, i just switched to deathadder v3 pro (it allows me to have a better grip since im used to claw grip because i started playing on a very small mouse) from gpx superlight because i have a big and heavy hand, i also tend to press my mouse when shooting
which mousepads would you recommend? Artisan zero soft/xsoft maybe? would it give me more control
thanks in advance

Hello, I need recommendations from players like you who have had the opportunity to see many mouse pads pass through their hands.

Please note, my expectations certainly differ from the majority of players in this sub, I am absolutely not looking for perfect optimization of the control or speed of my mouse. My quest is rather ergonomic or at least in the case of the pad, a quest for comfort. I've had some health issues that led me to completely rethink my gaming setup, electric chair/desk... and I have to say I'm close to perfect, so much so that I moved my home consoles next to my computer.

Therefore I enjoy playing with my elbows on the armrests and my arms extending over the desk with my hands also resting on them. But I have some nervous player habits that persist and under tension I can roll my hands forward or backward when playing with a controller.

So I decided to get an XXL mouse pad to "completely" cover the front surface of the desk.

I am well aware that a mouse pad must be relatively firm, however do you think that certain models (thickness/flexibility/softness) would allow me to have greater comfort?

For example I came across the Steelseries QCK HEAVY XXL, if anyone knows it.

Thank you in advance.

I have a 12x48 inch keyboard tray for my standing desk and I'm trying to get a high quality mousepad to run across the whole thing. I've never owned a nice mousepad before and I was thinking about getting a Venus (once the 3xl is back in stock) for my first since it fits the horizontal dimensions very well. Unfortunately the depth doesn't, which means I need to cut it.

I plan to take use a razor blade to get a straight cut. What would be the best way for me to prevent fraying after cutting? I've seen some people use a lighter along the edges and I've seen some say that gorilla glue it is better for the long term. Luckily for me, since it's a part of a keyboard tray, I'm not going to actually see the back hardly at all. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I just recently saw the pulsar polarity fresh x nacho glasspad, and first of if anyone knows if that was limited please share, But back to my original question. I am not a glasspad user myself, so i would like to see some artisan mousepads with cool designs too and if there maybe already are any?

I am getting the strikepads since it's relatively cheap in my country. I heard glass skates will break the mousepad so i think im not getting that. I'm currently using the stock fantech Aria skates and it's getting muddy cuz of use. My choices currently are Xraypad jade donuts and ESTiger ice V2 PTFE (?) cuz it's on my local store and relatively cheap. Suggestions and recommendations are welcomed :D

(sry i lack knowledge on these parts ><)

Title, but I'm an artist and most of my art is in portrait mode. I wanted to create a line of mousepads but thought it might be a bummer if no one actually used vertical pads often, so thought I'd ask!

• Aqua Control +: Good overall, but it feels inconsistent at times and is rough on my skin.
• HyperX Pulsefire: Trash. The texture is way too rough.
• HyperX Fury S Pro: This used to be my main mousepad, but after trying other pads, I tossed it. No idea how I managed to play on it.
• Saturn Pro Soft: Feels super muddy and slow. I tried it with multiple mice using stock skates, but it didn’t work for me. Might need aftermarket skates to improve the feel, but I’m not sure.
• OG Saturn: This one is the GOAT. Perfect balance of smooth control and speed, excellent for tracking, micro-adjustments, and flicking. It does it all!
• Are there any other pads similar to the OG Saturn? I'm considering buying the Saturn Pro Firm Version, but I'm not sure if it's similar to the OG Saturn. Also, do all Artisan and Xraypads have the same rough texture?

My current mousepad is not super good; 30$ and spent half of its life in storage collecting god knows what. the mousepad also feels different when gliding on the X vs Y axis and some times moves weird when moving diagonally, but I assume that is hard to avoid with cloth because of how its woven. I would like a mouse pad that's humidity resistant, has no little coating on the surface and is a max price of $50. if anyone could help It would be greatly appreciated.

Thinking about getting one of the Vspo collab glasspads, does anybody have more information about them? They're going to be Pulsar produced so I'm assuming they're going to be relatively similar to older versions of the Pulsar Superglides

If anybody has tried the Pulsar glasspads out in the past, I would love to hear about them in comparison to other glasspads and fastpads like the Raiden mid, much appreciated :D

Ive heard that this pad has no texture on the fingers, currently using an AC+ and I love the physical feedback. Could anyone else describe their experience (with xs/s/m).

I know most people will suggest the Hien, long story short I was trying to order a Hien last night and accidentally got the Raiden with no way to cancel the delivery 😭 Just seeing if theres any hope for this pad. Not a dealbreaker if there isnt any feedback but the last time I used a low texture pad (IKEA clothpad) I didnt enjoy it

as the the title says im looking for a desk pad that has good glide and has a nice picture (optional) and be budget ish

Wallhack SP004 vs Pulsar Aimerz vs Glsswrks Hana?
