[@JOELNICOLAJWZ]

It's crazy how many good pads we have now. I fell down the rabbithole hard, got like 20 pads including all the LGG and Artisan. 4114 Aero Fragment healed my addiction though. Before I first mainly used the Hayate Otsu, but the poron got less squish around my wrist, the hair issue was annoying and I wished it had slightly more control. Afterwards i mained the LGG Venus Pro. Great, but slightly too controlled. Then came the Aero and its just been perfect. Base thats between Xsoft and Soft, fantastic durability (barely slowed down, does not get dirty, no hairs, only wiped it down with water like 3-4 times in 8 months), great design, cloth feel yet super balanced in speed and control. Literally hasnt left my desk since december.

[@lazyn8]

the glorious 3xl isnt bad but the size is hard to wash, i mean WASH . but the 5mm or Heavy better heavy use leading to "dead spots" but after a wash its faster than it was brand new

I really hope artisan will come up with a longer mouse pad. I’m no competitive gamer but I play division 1 & 2 which still requires decent amounts of good aiming. I opted for the paracontrol pads because it offers the longer version to fit my whole table but would like an artisan as I have sweaty palms.

[@manueladolfoholzmannillane3050]

I have cerapad speed, for 605mm X 405mm, it is awesome. I didnt improved with it, but if you clean all the days well the hardpad the consistency will help you to improve you aim with work.

X-raypad doesn't deserve to have any of their pads on this list because they don't bring out new versions to the main stream so they got left behind

freefall sv base V2 has been the one for me, really enjoy the pad for CS2 and just ordered it again in black, will prob get the haus pad too. hard-ish base, and the textured fabric surface is the combo i needed. has more grit to it then something like a saturn but the glide still feels really nice to me with tiger ice v2 on viper v3 pro.

[@boardzy]

What benefit do you get from the hard base vs something like artisan mid if you've tried it?

[@h0undiwnl]

@@boardzy haven't tried the artisan mid, but like you said in the video there is next to 0 plushy-ness on the Freefall and i tend to death grip / push down very hard in the middle of sprays / transfers, and i feel like i don't get any muddy feeling from the SV base where on the saturn i do feel it a bit. plus that extra bit of texture it has on the surface i'm a big fan of, even if it rubs my wrist a bit hard sometimes, it breaks in after a bit imo. Excited to try the haus version and see the difference.

prefer the glass pads to any of my artisan pads. if you use PCs 12+ hrs per day like me, glass pads are the best way to keep clean and consistent performance. however super lightweight mice do not perform well on glass pads since there's no real control pads made with glass.

[@jaymz8222]

Man I saw the Rat Mat, and was really waiting or hoping you actually got to try it. I have a review on my channel of the Tou model. It’s the smoothest and most controlled hard surface ive ever felt. There’s almost a perfect amount of static and dynamic friction, you can feel the quality. It was 100% worth the hassle of hunting one down. If i got one from the States, you csn too. I’ll show you how if you dont know where to find one. If anyones interested I am considering selling it to look into other models of theirs.

I saw a min of your vid yesterday I'll finish it later, I'd buy yours. I just don't care to import one+the company doesn't want to send one as to not generate too much international interest so I respect it

Finally ordered a Hien, figured it's time to graduate to the best of the best. Really looking forward to the delivery and i hope it wont lose speed over time yhe way Strider did. Strider is still fast around the corners where it never got used.

[@sebasarribas8646]

How long did strider last?

[@四as]

@@sebasarribas8646 I got it on 15/5/23 and I'm still using it, but I don't remember when the speed went away, it's a gradual thing. It has a bunch of skin in it that I never cleaned because every mouse pad that I washed in the bathtub got its surface ruined. I might get a glass surface if Hien gets fucked the same way.

[@cotneit]

Yooo! Fellow Strider => Hien convert :D My Strider also got pretty slow, washing it would probably help but I don't have a backup mousepad so I'll just wait for Hien

[@Omarock]

Currently using the strider (for almost 3 years). Static friction remains the same but dynamic friction has slowed down (not dramatically), wiping with a wet microfiber cloth once a week helps with restoring some speed. I want to upgrade to an artisan but on the fence between a hien mid and raiden mid, I want something that doesn't get affected by humidity.

[@四as]

@@cotneit I've been drooling at the Hien for years, saying "nah, the price doesn't make sense when they all turn to shit", but I finally bit the bullet :) I tried the "Lysol" cleaning yesterday, it removed some deposit, maybe 50%. Since I have the Hien coming in next week, I think I'll clean it in the bathtub just using my palm or the leathery cloth for buffing cars to try and not damage the fibres. I'll let you know only if it goes bad. Also curious how cleaning with 100% isopropyl would go.

[@Katze822228]

Boardzy mentioned that pretty much all glass pads have a coating when he talked about the razer atlas. Is there more information about that somewhere? I have the skypad 3 and I never noticed it having a coating.

[@AlexRann]

A nice way to feel the coating is if you scratch your nails over the pad and after that do the same thing to a window. Window has no coating, skypad has. Feels like micro specs of some sort of material on your nails.

[@Katze822228]

The micro bumps of the skypad are just the texture of the surface. It doesn't mean that the surface is made out of a different material. A phone screen for example has a coating and feels perfectly smooth like a window. Frosted glass on the other hand can have the micro bumps without a coating.

[@thishdude]

Hi, I would really appreciate an answer for a rather odd question. I can get my hands on a skypad 4 for like $40 instead of the retail price from their site, my main game is valorant and like csgo sometimes do you recommend it or do you think a cloth would be better? (prob going for any cloth from Artisan would cost me at least $70) do you think the Artisan is worth the extra money? (rn I'm using a steelseries QCK XXL). I appreciate any insight I get.

[@TheMasterTMTheMaster1507]

I also have the qck and ordered a artisan zero xsoft in orange my friend also went from the qck to the artisan xsoft and literally in the first games of Valorant he was going crazy about the difference in feel and quality and it wasn’t placebo. He clipped a few shots and I literally was able to tell in the clip how much better the surface tracking and flick shots were. I was able to tell how smooth it works. We both use the WLmouse Beast X max ( he used dot skates ) I use normal ones like a superlight. I think you might want to consider getting the artisan. It’s gonna be a very very good pad for cs and Valorant.

[@boardzy]

The durability is top tier for cloth pads, I've had zeros that remain consistent after many years. The hien will definitely gradually slow down but not completely wear out long term. The issue is if you obsess over consistency you're going to tweak yourself out and blame the pad well before 2 years of use. Just buy the pad and use it
