Xraypad Aqua Control 2 Review! BETTER AC+ (shocking)

review of xraypads newest mousepad, the aqua control 2 sakura edition. also compared the ac2 to my old aqua control plus white
xraypad aqua control 2 link shop.x-raypad.com/product-cat... u can use code boardzy10 for 10% off (they ended the free shipping part unfortunately) not an affiliate code, just a holiday discount thing. xraypad shipping is quite high so when the discount ends the value wont be as good.

not sure what happened to the free shipping between now and when I checked the price yesterday, maybe they stopped that part of the promo because it was losing them money. Maybe check later on/the next day to see if it comes back

Nice review boardzy. Very useful when there is concrete feedbacks about the glide feeling, like if there is feedback on the mouse skates and if it turns the aim shaky or not, instead of just saying the mousepad is fast or slow.

Thanks a lot for the time stamps. It's so useful for me. I really appreciate it

There was not enough comparison with other mousepads. How does this mouse pad perform in comparison with Artisan Zero, Artisan Hayate Otsu, LGG Venus, LGG Saturn or maybe Artisan Hien and his analogs if AC2 is on faster side?

So it’s just a new colorway to the AC2/AC+black ? Xraypad made the names confusing. The AC2 is the AC+ black but renamed, then everything else is AC+ ? Edit: the better option is still the AC2/AC+B right?

Mr Boardzy, regarding your point on the Orachi V2, does that mean the Aqua Plus would be a better pair with the OV2 than this Aqua 2? I just got the Orachi based on your review, and considering the Aqua 2, Aqua Plus, and Razer Strider currently.
