Been using my beloved xraypad ac zero since april 2023 and wondered if its like a normal term use

I tried the atk duckbill but didnt go well and went back to my ac zero, any recommendations to get a new pad more like my the ac zero? :)

I made the shift to glass pads last year and I never looked back. Absolutely morphed my skill ceiling for the better. Got “The Eclipse” here from Flash Beyond paired alongside my FAVORITE Finalmouse of all time “The Last Legend” with stock PTFE.

This is currently my favorite pad and mouse for competitive gaming however I only play Marvel Rivals. If I were to play a precision shooter like Rainbow Six or Counterstrike I’d need to go back to my Wallhack CR005.

Found it for VERY cheap on Craigslist, so i wont even be mad if it's a Replica tbh, just wanna know.

So im looking to splurge and get a new mousepad. Currently i have a D-GLOW JIU pad which to me has the perfect amount of speed and softness. I also have a La Onda Rizz which i think is to hard and fast. I have previously had an xraypad heavy bee XSOFT which i really liked.

Bottom line i want a really nice control pad that is slow and soft. I also want it to last me a long time so quality is important. The Artisan is only 10 euros more expensive in my country. Is the artisan glaze well deserved? I have been using zowie products for a long time so i know that their quality is top tier.

What would you guys recommend? Have you tried both and if so which one would you most like to use? Looking for first hand experience anecdotal suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

Hey i’ve been looking into Artisan pads and am going to get the zero soft for games like val and wanted to get one for apex and sometimes overwatch which are my main games. I’ve been looking into the Raiden Mid which a lot of ppl have seemed to love for those games but also get a lot of negative feedback. What would you recommend for me as i’m looking to get one that’s very good at tracking but also long range micro adjustments if needed?

I really like Razer's stock skates, and I'd love to get something similar for my other mice. With so many aftermarket skates on the market, I don't really know much about them. Anyone with experience with aftermarket skates able to tell me which ones would be the closest?

Been thinking of upgrading to the Sp005 but not sure if white or black.

Black 004a is the one i have rn.

pulsar Hyperion - felt slow
Lgg saturn - turned into a mid pad
Currently have the Zowie H-SR III
I’m looking for some more speed.

does the rogue and blue zowie gs re se ii both the same like is the only different the colors?

and is this

the same as the lgg x pulsar saturn collab? i notice that there used to be a lgg logo in the bottom right now there isnt so is this still lgg?

I got my first xsoft artisan pad. and i m wondering how many dots you need to make it work.

I know people here hate glass skates to death but I actually enjoy them and have enough mousepads (around 35 lol) to be fine with them killing my mousepad faster.

But my question is:

Do I need to swap them at some point? Or do they basically last forever like glass pads?

Hey guys,

im new here and I need a control mousepad for under 50€.

I´ve heard artisan should be very good but they are very expensive, should I still buy it because of the quality, or are there pads of comparable quality for less money?

Thankfull for every answer!

Rattling my head over which skates to get for the Ke83 Mid, as my old ones mad a very unpleasant feeling experience. I have never bought Artisan Skates but what I heard is that one of these skates don't really like the Key 83 Mid as its surface and I don't wanna have to buy more skates then I need to. Just want something that works well with the Key 83 mid and thank you!

I often find myself wanting to work on the patio in the mornings, but my table isn’t a smooth surface - I.e. slatted wood. Is there a stiff pad on the market that also would be suitable for light outdoor use?

Body text, bought from ebay because wallhack does not deliver in my country

i found a used saturn pro for 12$ but the seller stated that it has been heavily used for 1 year and that there are slow spots in the mousepad(but he said when he washed it, the glide got better). I was just wondering if you guys think its worth it as I currently have a Hyperx Fury S Pro mousepad that Ive been using for 5 years

Main games I play are fps games like valorant, warzone, overwatch, etc.

so idrk anything about mousepads, i wanted a glass mousepad from clustr but i see mixed reviews which doesnt help, and i see artisan mousepads are good (i know there cloth which is different) and i see loads of positive feedback about them, but im not sure which artisan to use. i mostly play valorant and osu, at 800 dpi with 0.8 on osu and valorant 800 dpi with a slow sens, so im not really sure which would be best, i used to play on just my desk so i thought i would use a glass mouse pad

I’m in high rank in apex legends, I was playing with local mouse pad which was fast but I can’t tell how much fast it was and it became muddy, I can’t decide how much fast I want,

I want something that very good for tracking and flicking, some recommend me the hayate otsu v2 and the raiden but I’m afraid the hayate otsu v2 be slow as or close to the razer gigntus v2 as I tried and found so slow in tracking enemies.

And what u recommend tell what type should I get, xsoft and soft and mid, and I wanna avoid the pad being so muddy after time, (note: I live in Egypt and the weather is bad, so the pad might get worn faster) that’s why I was thinking the raiden mid so if it’s get slower it will bit control for the pad which it will be good

I play low / medium sens. I like tracking and flicking guns

And how fast is the raiden comparing to the aqua control 2?

Feel free to recommend another artisan with “why” pls

Does anyone have any experience with the brand 4114, specifically with their Aero V2 mousepads, or know of a trustworthy source who could share some firsthand impressions?
I stumbled across the brand and the mousepad on a website I regularly use. I really like the design, but there doesn't seem to be much information or many reviews available, which makes it difficult to get a good impression of the product.

I want to buy my first glass pad, I have been using razer gigantus V2 for decade's, but I want to feel 0 friction cuz in my mind when I do a movement it is instant

I play valorant most of the time and played OSU before but I left the game because the friction of the mousepad with the mouse ( don't really matter if a use a really high sens or low sens or something in the middle)

So is a waste of money buy a glasspad or worth it?

I’m curious when you guys actually decide it’s time to replace your dot skates.

I’m using a Pulsar X2H with 4 dots on a Moonstone ACE glass pad. Right now I’m running ESPTiger ICE V2 dots, and I usually replace them once I start noticing actual grooves/scratches on the contact surface and, more importantly, when I can hear and feel a noticeable difference in the glide.

Sometimes that happens after only about a week. Is that normal on glass?

I’m not talking about the initial break-in period where fresh skates get polished/flattened a bit and the glide changes. I usually keep using them after that. I replace them when they start feeling or sounding noticeably different again after they've already gone through that phase.

I just ordered some Abyss Gaming dots from AliExpress (a bunch of random mini 3mm dotskates, which are supposedly UPE. I'm hoping the smaller diameter and possibly harder material will make them last longer than the larger ICE V2 dots, even if they are just PTFE.

Do you guys also replace dots mostly by feel/sound rather than waiting until they're visibly completely worn down?

It works if you agitate the pad with a brush then let it sit there with the peroxide. Idk but the warm water soap method was pretty trash on my mega pad so I tried it with my small fabric one it did better then the OG.
Try it.
