Great review! I'm with you that I'm not usually the type to go for this type of pad but it does seem pretty interesting! I think I need a bit of a slower pad though for it to fit me

[@christopherdelacruz9728]

Is this actually the same as the black aqua control 2? Different print or is the speed different too?

I got a white version and I've been wanting something a tad slower. I'm between a strata aqua control plus, and a lgg Venus cus I heard it was a good step down.

Fresh Reviews, thanks for another great review and please keep them coming. Just wondering if your going to do one on the Skypad 3.0 XL mousepad soon?

[@SpaeroBorb]

Your reviews have brought me to a few pads that I really dig, especially the gp4. But I'm wondering if there are any other really good control pads that are somewhere in the middle for speed. Do you have any recommendations?

[@flocoollego]

The best is artisan zéro

[@tunezalt8968]

The Retail Version of the padsmith mousepad is significantly a softer foam then the sample. Its about roughly the same as a xsoft artisan pad in comparison to the old mid density. :)

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Oooof. Need. Sounds amazing. Still a top 3 pad for me easily. Consistent. Soft. Comfortable. Speedy.

[@tunezalt8968]

@@FreshReviewsYT thanks! Def need to get one out for you. Feels like your playing on a pillow, and you can control your speed based on how hard you press into the pad. Maybe the only downside so far is that it is slightly raised more than the sample but the slim stitching helps with that.

Between the Aqua Control II Sakura and Equate plus v2 which one has the rougher surface? This will be my final factor in deciding which one to buy.

So would you say I should get a lil more control on the Aqua Control 2? I have a DAV3 with BTL skates and currently have a mouse company pad but just not a fan on the friction on it.

I guess youre not gonna see this comment, its kinda late haha but if you do...how do you compare aq2 sakura to coloured odin infinity. Which one is faster, actually which has lower initial friction. And which one do you think is more durable?

[@FreshReviewsYT]

Honestly, the agile shop marble pad might be what you’re looking for if you want speed tbh. If I recall correctly, it’s the fastest of them all. But they’re all not too far off from one another

Merry Christmas Fresh! 🔥🎄 I just got my superglide skates, and tested it with my Hien soft it feels amazing it feels like normal tiger ice PTFE or slower for me. However, I can feel the texture/feedback of the pad more with superglides compared to my stock skates. It's not that "floaty" feeling for me. Are you also experiencing this? Because you mention in the video, with AC II you can't feel the surface with glass skates. It's weird how this superglide GLASS skates are slow and comparable with PTFE skates.

Interesting, I ordered my skate, haven’t got it yet. Should I not put it on then? I like how the stock feel now, if it’s slower I don’t want to put it on. Also, did you know they just announced xlite v2 and v2 mini?

@@seventail I like it more compared to stock skates. Micro-adjustments are better IMO. But it depends on your pad. What pad are u using right now? I think this superglides are better with hybrid/Hien like pads. Someone send some glide tests with superglide + Otsu V2 and vaxee PA on discord pulsar community and they say it's slow and not like other people saying that it will fly like glass mousepad or a very fast cordura pad. It still retain control which I like. I don't understand why pulsar advertised this as "Super fast" on their packaging. But it's not that "super fast" maybe fast initial friction? yes but not dynamic friction. It's still fast tho but expecting from a "glass" it's something worth mentioning.
