Best Control Pad for VALORANT and CS 2 | Zowie GSR 2 Review

[@hobosnake1]

Can never have enough tac shooter guys talking about peripherals. Sounds sarcastic, but im dead serious. Subbed up.

[@stubbyfps]

Appreciate it 🙏🏽 I don’t play games as much as I used too so most of the time I use products is thru aim trainers or fast paced shooter (which I’m awful at) Only put valorant clips since I’m decent enough at that 💀

[@kiyu_u6009]

I'm so glad I watched this video. I had the same exact experience. I used my GSR 1 for a few years, and its very muddy. Got this in the mail and it felt like I was playing on a Artisan zero. I guess I just gotta keep using it to break it in.

[@stubbyfps]

Glad I wasn’t the only one. I watched like a dozen reviews(which I barely do) and they were all saying how slow it was but I just wasn’t getting that.

[@vgplay4850]

@@stubbyfps how is it now, i just got mine and its similar to saturn pro which i own too, im hoping its abit muddier with stronger stopping power

lovely review lad

appreciate it man!

[@Log_Pile]

Nice work Stubby 👏

[@sullysnq5430]

A less muddy Saturn pro is endgame. People are saying new one will be a bit more of a soft than xsoft.

[@stubbyfps]

i need to put more hours into my new saturn pro to really tell, but as of now the xsoft just feels like a thicker artisan soft.

[@Inclemnc]

Exactly what I’m waiting for, slightly faster than saturn pro, slower than artisan zero.

[@lucas.alberto.97]

So for games like R6S and CS2 is better the gsr ll or the gsr se gris? And whats the diff between them?

[@stubbyfps]

Gsr 2 is slower after it breaks in Gsrse is overall quicker but still very controlled I honestly prefer the gsr2, plus the se gris is literally just a grey gsrse

[@goochipoochie]

Gsr2 is much better After using it i felt the gsrse rouge is much faster than it needs to be Going forward i would want pads that are even slower than gsr2 (fast pads are just bad and without any use)

[@pav1u]

Hey there, tiger ice vs corepads for this gsr2? I want better micro ajustments but like the speed of glide

[@stubbyfps]

I mained jades on the gsr2, was a perfect combo.

[@pav1u]

I can only buy the ice or corepads, im in europe is a little more difficult

[@stubbyfps]

@@pav1u understandable, ice would be solid choice for speed on a control pad.

[@pav1u]

@@stubbyfps yes i hate the mudy feeling so ill go with ice's v2 ;)

[@GamingBros654]

@@pav1uhey bro how do you like the tiger ice v2 skates?

[@rafael_lcd]

Bro, between the Meow Ultrabrake and the Zowie GSR, which one would you recommend for those who play CS and Valorant and prefer a mousepad control with a good stopping power and micro adjustments?

[@99defy]

How is it compared to the Artisan Zero Soft? Would it be an upgrade?

[@stubbyfps]

an upgrade? not exactly. But it will be slower after that wear down period

[@Solomon866_]

MAN, this mousepad is fkn TINY. I have a 1400x550 thor xraypad mousepad.

[@screaminsilence81]

Hello, atm ive had my LGG venus pro for about a year, and its starting to show my cats damage... anyhow, i do love how it feels and the speed and everything actually... i was wondering, because i am looking at the gsr 2, aswell as the superbeings lab momento.... which apparently comes close to lgg venus pro performance, if you have any recommendationss? also i know the gsr 2 is not comparable to the lgg venus pro but it does get my interests up because im a cs2 player XD

[@sahibdhillon1358]

Great knowing it's not a fast pad 😂 just wondering if you think the gsr 2 will get even slower like the gsr 1 overtime?

[@stubbyfps]

Overtime I see that happening, I put a lot of hours on my gsr 1. Was my only mousepad for like 7 months until I got the Saturn pro.

[@tinocabral4201]

Unrelated but for saturn pro do you prefer soft or xsoft? also what mouse feet do you prefer on the saturn pro?

[@stubbyfps]

have only tried the xsoft and i cant say i hate it. Really enjoy the pad.

[@SOHAM_0000]

Hey bro love from india🇮🇳should i buy the zowie gesr rouge (red color) i am using the hyperx pulsefire which is a mix between control and speed or should I invest in the artisan zero?

[@stubbyfps]

gsr-se is a solid pick up but if you want longevity than i would get the zero soft

[@SOHAM_0000]

@@stubbyfps what about the new gesr se 2 is it better than the gesr se rougue (red color)

Nice review... one question what do u prefer Saturn Pro V2 or Rizz? Xsoft or soft

[@delicorias]

rizz??????

[@MustafaSergej]

would u prefer gsr 2 or new saturn pro ? if u had one choice which one u would pick ?

[@stubbyfps]

saturn pro

[@williamrafael5481]

what is this test that you are tracking your mouse?

[@bergdk237]

Good video🙂 🤔 My experience on the saturn pro and G-sr(oldversion) surface. G-sr feels to me slower/ more muddy, even from new. Saturn pro feels more similar to the artisan soft, veil the artisan xsoft feels closer to G-sr. Very similar speed, just a little faster, and only really feels muddy, when pressing down on the pad. So i'm qurious to see how i feel the updated G-sr 2 will be like🙂 My personal fav and main at the moment is the artisan xsoft. But i like to try out new mice and different medium/control/slow mousepads or updated versions 😄 So I ordered both the G-sr 2 and the updated G-sr-se (gris)

[@bergdk237]

@Stubbyfps. update on my initial opinion of the new G-SR 2, is that the surface feels smoother/softer than the old, and weave/Stitches are more tightly stitched. Have to see how the glide will feel like, after the break in periode, if it will feel more or less muddy than the old😄 The G-SR-SE, that is my first of this pad, feels even smoother and on initial movement have a faster glide, yet seem to have the same or almost the same stopping power, and I like that a lot! So far I like these two updated pads😄

[@vgplay4850]

@@bergdk237 how long is the break in period? i just got mine and it feels similar to saturn pro

[@bergdk237]

@@vgplay4850 couple weeks to 1 month ish time depending on usage in that time. The break in periode doesn't seem as noticable as with the old Gsr. It seems to keep it's feel, roughly the same. Maybe in 3-6 month it will be more noticable...

[@add467]

Hello, does anyone know of any GSR I mousepad clones that offer larger size options?

[@jaytea_au]

Saturn Pro vs artisan zero vs GSR 2 strictly for CS?

[@stubbyfps]

Saturn pro imo. Slower and longer life span Gsr 2 if on a budget.

[@jaytea_au]

Thanks man! It’s been a tough decision between especially the Saturn Pro and Artisan Zero. What has your experience been with the Artisan Zero compared to the Saturn Pro? I’m aware that the zero is a little faster and more of a balanced pad whilst the Saturn Pro leans towards control but not full control?

[@GODWIN777]

Another sub 😎

[@soma323]

I bought the og gsr because in my country the gsr 2 its double or triple the price

[@jordanjanuario9243]

quaoar perseus or gsr ii? which would you buy?

[@stubbyfps]

Which ever is available, both are very similar. Plus the essentials Perseus is like $35 and nearly 1:1 to the Saturn pro.

[@Toomzzz]

Hello, I am thinking about purchasing ZOWIE G-SR, ZOWIE G-SR II, ZOWIE G-SR-SE, LOGITECH G640 or Artisan Ninja FX Zero Xsoft. I'm a csgo player and I can't decide which one to choose. Could you show me some path? I'm still thinking about Artisan, but I'm discouraged by its lack of availability where I live. Import only.

[@Mal0717]

DONT GO WITH G-SR-SE OR G640 UNLESS YOU GOT BANK TO KEEP BUYING NEW ONES THEY ARE NOT DURABLE

[@Toomzzz]

@@Mal0717 what about ZOWIE G-SR or ZOWIE G-SR II is there any difference in them? Personally, I don't see ZOWIE G-SR II anywhere in stores. As for Artisan Ninja FX Zero Xsoft, is this pad really worth the price and waiting time? We are talking strictly about CSGO now CS2. In CS2, it rather needs precision. I use 400 dpi and 2.0 sens.

[@stubbyfps]

if you have the patience the artisan zero is the BEST in that list. the gsr 2 is a solid pick up since its still really controlled and good against humidity. If you want some more options, the Quaoar Perseus and Hercules are really nice pads, you can pick up the essentials version for like $35. Prob my favorite releases to date.

[@Inclemnc]

@@stubbyfpsyou say zero takes patience, does it have break in? Mine feels really fast compared to a GSR-SE / Saturn.

[@zas8394]

Can you get the default glide back after it slows down?

[@stubbyfps]

Not sure, haven’t tried cleaning it yet since it’s not that dirty.

[@sahibdhillon1358]

​​@@stubbyfpsfrom what I remember zowie has a vid showcasing how to clean their mouse pads but the gsr they say is to just use a lightly wet cloth on top. How did you clean your gsr 1 back then?

@@sahibdhillon1358 was an idiot back then, I just threw it in the washer 💀💀 Probably helped with it becoming as muddy as it is now 💀
