Thank you so much for reviewing us! Videos like these mean so much for our small team :)

[@DatGoodSir]

Thank you so much for the comment ♥️

Now kiss! 😘

[@KirbyGamingLive]

Can you make an xxl SkyPad? Loads of people are waiting

[@ReeI3oK]

You speak so much and give so much info that when i checked the time on video i was shocked it was 4:20 not 10 min video :D

[@DatGoodSir]

Hehe

[@cs_mns]

Skypad 3 is godlike for csgo for me. Also I really love the fact that it never wears out unlike my plastic and cloth pads did.

[@warupchina]

I assume you've had it for a while now, does it get bent in the middle? I've seen people complaining about it

[@cs_mns]

@@warupchina no, mine isn't bent. I bought it as soon as it released - Idk, maybe people are putting too much pressure on it? There's no need for pressure as it is not a cloth mat. I clean it daily so there is no grime or debris I have to push through, maybe that's the reason they would pressure it. Only thing that makes sense to me at least :)

[@warupchina]

@@cs_mns thx for letting me know, and yes it does seem weird for people to complain about glass bending, but I've seen a video of it and it was, the guy even said it's a feature and not a mistake haha

[@cs_mns]

@@warupchina no worries man, try it out - I'm sure it's good if you take care of your gear.

[@warupchina]

@@cs_mns yeah I'm usually very careful anyways, I might end up getting a pulsar pad tho

[@VoltaReviews]

Nice video dude with some insane clips in multiple games 🔥 I love my Skypad! Tempted to test out the Vancer Ice and Nyfter Falcon next to see how they compare

[@DatGoodSir]

Thank you! I tried to include some epic clips in this one for sure :D The vancer ice is tons of fun. It's maybe just a touch faster but just barely.

[@Mochi-lf5rz]

I'm ordering one RN this sounds perfect for me, I use to run stupidly high sensitivity so I'm used to precise movement and I recently lowered my sense to a 3rd of what it was. 1000dpi + 5sens (In Apex)

[@DatGoodSir]

Did you get it yet? What do you think?

[@Mochi-lf5rz]

@@DatGoodSir I instantly got use to it, it didn't magically make me better or anything but damn it feels smooth to play on

[@Sylrene_theFaery]

Thank you for your transparency and for walking us through the process every step of the way! Covered everything and now I understand that if I want to use this mousepad, I will have to put in more time and commitment to aim-training (it sure is an investment monetarily-wise as well XD). Thank you so much for your tips and tricks!

[@Sylrene_theFaery]

Btw, you definitely deserve more views! Nice editing, impeccable script, and your vocabulary is very good. Keep up the good work and I know you'll make it big!

[@DatGoodSir]

Thank you so much :D I'm also glad you found it useful.

[@sh1kasenbei]

Short and sweet review, love it

[@DatGoodSir]

Thanks! Glad you liked it :D

[@finlaymartins272]

Some of those shots on the B-roll are insane!

[@DatGoodSir]

Thank you

[@Wipspeed]

I use to use "Icemat glass mousepad" back in the days like 2007, which was later on bought by SteelSeries. It a creat mousepad on tell dust or cat hair gets on it... Anyways Keep up the good work and well done on the video 🙂🤓

[@DatGoodSir]

Thanks :D I've heard about the legendary icemat but I've never tried it 😅

[@Wipspeed]

@@DatGoodSir I have still have a glass mousepad somewhere in my studio, just with a SteelSeries logo. My first Icemat did not agree with my rage in a game of "Quake III Arena" back in 2008, i raised my mouse up and smashed it down to the glass mousepad. And that's the last time i'm ever gonna do that 😂

[@discoRyne]

Which pad have you been returning to? I'm kind of stuck on the Energon after bouncing between the Hien and Hayate Otsu. Can't go wrong for $35 shipped, Lamzu's really hooking it up IMO.

[@DatGoodSir]

I really enjoy the Energon as well. I've been maining the skypad but I do go back to the Energon regularly when I don't feel like using a hard pad.

[@SpideyDiG]

@@DatGoodSir Just wondering why you like the Skypad 3.0 over the Cerapad KIN as your main? Have you had a chance to try the new Razer Atlas yet? Please keep up the great reviews.

[@DatGoodSir]

​@@SpideyDiG I have yet to try the razer atlas pad but would like to one day. I simply prefer the skypad over the Cerapad kin based off the games I tend to play more often benefiting from the extra freedom when making micro adjustments. I do love both pads though.

[@adrianchiloeches7262]

I switched to Skypad 3.0 a year ago, and it's 100% the best thing I've ever done in gaming. Been a gamer for 20 years, and I can tell you, glass is the future.

[@Tarden]

Does the glide still the same?

[@adrianchiloeches7262]

@@Tardenabsolutely. 100% consistent, all it takes is wiping it every day, and consistency is always exactly the same!

[@Tarden]

@@adrianchiloeches7262 Thanks!

[@TergoLive]

I saw you playing on this! Hell ya :)

[@cavna1295]

I like the pulsar Superglide pad more than the skypad i feel that it's smoother for me, but you're paying $100 or more for a glass pad, IMO get whichever that is cheaper in your region

[@nudoublet_th583]

I have been using this mousepad for about a year now. I really love it, but there is one problem that I’ve been facing for a long time. I live in Thailand and the weather here is really hot. When I play games without turning on the ac the mousepad is really smooth but whenever I have the ac on the friction occurs on the pad. Are there any solution to this? Thank you🙏🏻.

[@tiendatnguyenhua4283]

Hello bro, i live in Vietnam, same weather here, put sleeve on your hand and problem fixed😂! Whenever you feel dirty, just wipe the pad!

[@HailstormTTV]

Wow who is that handsome Athena?????😄

[@Heat2234]

Hailstorm!

[@Steanford]

The way you just flicked the f*** out of your mouse at 0:50 made me spill my coffee lmao

[@DatGoodSir]

Haha 😂

[@Azizkhan-rq5si]

Heyy , now saw your vid and im interested in buying one ...Whats the duration for the wear and tear on ptfe stock feet? Do they last maybe 3 months or so and then you have to change them or is it extremely quick to change mouse feet??

[@DatGoodSir]

It depends on how much you game within those 3 months for me I'd say about 1.5 months mine will wear out but that's 6+ hours every night with it

[@dukapetar]

I got a glass mouse pad from tempered glass, hand sanded with texture of qck heavy. Never gonna use cloth again

[@ItzKamo]

2:49, oh man... where did you get that arm sleeve?? I have one from skypad but my thumb can't go in... i had to cut it with a scissor lmao

[@DatGoodSir]

This is just a generic "sports sleeve" from Amazon I don't even know the brand they're just cheap multi packs. They're alright although they wear out quickly.

[@ItzKamo]

@@DatGoodSir Oh i see, thanks. Getting Artisan Hien tmrw, skypad is really hard in summer here (Japan) too much humidity!

[@clay2889]

Great review, thanks

[@DatGoodSir]

I'm glad you liked it :D hopefully it was helpful

[@Hbryry]

i have a zowie ec2 with some tiger skates. i just got the akko glasspad (got it on sale). and it sounds like my mouse is scratching the pad. any recommendations on what feet to get?

[@DatGoodSir]

TJX Plasti-X or Wallhack X-ray Pad obsidian pro skates both help a little bit but nothing will remove it completely

[@Hbryry]

@@DatGoodSir do you know why sometimes when I’m tracking with my Zowie, it feels like the sensor isn’t reading on the glass pad? I wiped it clean. Only happens with my ec2 and not my g703

[@DatGoodSir]

I would try changing the lift off distance on it. My zowie S1-C has issues on glass sometimes too and that usually fixes it. It depends on the mousepad but for some reason glass pads seem to need a higher lift off distance.

[@leechacc387]

I used to work in glass and when I got mine I was bummed out to realise it's literally just a piece of toughened acid etch glass with polished edges. Could've made it myself for cheaper lol and beware its suuuper loud to use especially with g502, lowkey sounds a feels like shit. It's more quiet and feels a bit better with gproX

[@revived4453]

Heyyy! Hope you had a great day so far! :) I am using a DeathadderV3 currently, I got it two weeks ago and love it. Now, I got my Skypad 3.0 XL and I LOVE it, my aim was never better! But I heard somewhere that my mousefeet will wear out faster. I just want to know how fast exactly, and how and when can I tell when I should replace them? Also, what mousefeet go well with the Skypad that work on the DeathadderV3? :) Thank you very much for your precious time!

[@jeffqian5083]

tiger ice dots or xray obsidian dots. Xray obsidians will have good glide and are hard and durable because they are meant for glass pads. I would replace the skates if you see a dent or feel a noticeable difference in glide.

[@jeffqian5083]

how fast they wear out will depend on the mouse feet and how much you push down on your mouse when aiming.

[@JaaY-fps]

Would you rather take the sky pad, or the cerapad KIN?

[@DatGoodSir]

I like them both but I tend to play faster paced games so the skypad is a better fit for me.

[@eczilla1120]

Come to Quake 4, join the God Realm. Q4 is the only game that will increase your power level, embrace enlightenment.

[@DatGoodSir]

😅 I like q4, played it once.

[@xy6x875]

Hey I Wanted To Ask A Question! I Have The SKYPAD 3.0 And A Logitech G Pro X Wireless Superlight I Wanted To Know What Skates To Buy For The Mouse With The Glass Pad

[@DatGoodSir]

It's really just a preference. I recommend BT.L Vancer Skates or Tiger Ice skates if you want something fast. And core pads if you want something a tad slower.

[@AtraxaApologist]

Everyone out here looking for a mousepad to help them aim but I just want one that's quicker and easier to clean lol

[@DatGoodSir]

Glass pads are super easy to clean for sure.

[@brendon2343]

what is the arm sleeve that you recommend the most for skypad 3.0?

[@DatGoodSir]

To be honest I haven't tried enough to really know. I'm not super picky I've even used a long sleeve shirt in the winter and that worked quite well even. The ones I use are just cheap generic multi pack "sports sleeves" from Amazon.

[@icenote1591]

What mouse skates do you use on your skypad? I know glass is definitely not an option since glass and glass dont mix together and could scratch the surface.

[@DatGoodSir]

My favorite is vancer btl skates

[@Gilaric]

0:52 holy shit

[@DatGoodSir]

Hahaha

[@burgle9262]

What game is the game featured in the beginning?

[@DatGoodSir]

It's called Quake Champions. It's free to play on Steam

[@DarkSoul-fc4gc]

0:52 best move to descripe glass mousepads hahahhahah :D

[@DatGoodSir]

Hahaha

[@gillik7801]

0:51 LMFAO

[@illusry7631]

gunk? ive never had gunk on it lol. maybe just some dust i wipe off

[@DatGoodSir]

Gunk = dust, cat hair, lint , tiny pieces of mouse skates left behind etc

[@UltimateEnd0]

My mouse pad doubles as my wrist pad so I like soft ones.

[@DatGoodSir]

Yeah I'd stay away from hard pads then haha

[@_zCoasT]

0:10 what the game called

[@DatGoodSir]

Quake Champions. It's free on steam.

[@egodrunk]

What mouse is that?

Which time stamp in the video? I showed multiple mice.

what the name of the game similar to doom you was plaaying?

It's called Quake Champions :D

[@Killuaaz]

yeaah tried this game and didnt find any game 10+ minutes qeue maybe because im from Brazil idk dead game unfortunaly@@DatGoodSir

[@DatGoodSir]

It's such a good game but it's struggling right now. The servers have been having issues lately which has caused less people to be on it's a pretty tight nit player base

[@kyosuke7168]

Hello from France, i hope someone could answer this, i’m searching where i coule find the mouse pad in store to test it before buying it, dors someone know where i could got this ? I did all that i know about but no one seems to have it… Also, does the flick is consistent and really good ? A big thanks for that test !! Thanks by advance

[@DatGoodSir]

Hmmm it might be hard to find in a store since it isn't a big name brand company. The glide is very consistent but also very fast so it takes practice for flicks.

[@kyosuke7168]

@@DatGoodSir Okayyy, Well Thanks a lot, im thinking aboug getting one with sleeves. Did you saw that Asus will product one same as skypad ? Glass nano textured same things, will you test it ?

[@hell0kitje]

hey im new to ur channel, what your fav pad for quake and valorant?

[@DatGoodSir]

My favorite pad is currently the Skypad 3.0 however the Cerapad KIN and Lamzu Energon are both really enjoyable for me as well.

[@Haunttts]

Im gonna buy one but want their biggest size

[@DatGoodSir]

Definitely worth getting a big size so you don't regret it later

[@Decki777]

Is 350mm x 260mm glass is too small?

[@DatGoodSir]

For most people I think so. Unless you play really high sensitivity but even then I could see people wishing it was bigger

[@killakame-3434]

The XL size costs equal to RX 7600 Graphics Card 😂 Good Luck with your AiM

[@DatGoodSir]

Where are you finding an RX 7600 for $108 ?

[@Vinzsolos]

Is this better then the super glide by pulsar

[@DatGoodSir]

I haven't tried the super glide pad personally.

[@flubbawubba6603]

how often do you need to switch mouse feet?

[@DatGoodSir]

It depends on the skates you use and how many hours a month you use it for but for me maybe like every month and half.

[@Vivideaaa]

So my mouseskates will break when I use it? ;..;

[@DatGoodSir]

Yes it will chew through them

[@ScottyPlaysYeh]

sighh... alright time to pull out the good old credit card.

[@anxyboy]

Is that the xl size?

[@DatGoodSir]

Yes

[@Sapca1111]

What kind of mouse skates do you use for your mouse in combination with the Skypad 3.0?

[@DatGoodSir]

Most of my time was spent with the stock PTFE skates that came with the puretrak valor and Xtrfy m8 but I really liked BTL skates as well.

[@axeluri]

Love you

[@DatGoodSir]

Thank you 💚

[@BlackSwanTM]

Game ?

[@DatGoodSir]

Which one? Probably Quake Champions
