Polyacetal is the same material that most mechanical keyboard switches are made of. It's also marketed as POM.

[@je5terc0re]

Thanks, I was wondering if I know it already.

[@Mertl.]

I’m a chemist who deals with these materials pretty frequently. I’m not confident in the physics of everything, but I always wondered why PTFE was the gold standard for mice when a lot of fields favor other plastics

[@waterbottler2761]

Probably because hardness didn't matter too much for mouse skates back then so they just took the lowest friction material and slapped them onto mice skates and thought nothing of it

[@szyni6755]

lowest friction coefficient in general use i believe

[@chrisplusk]

besides friction coefficient ptfe is hydro- and oleophobic which is important for consistency in humid and sweaty conditions. do you know if these other materials should hold up in those regards?

[@rappersorbee]

I think unfortunately that answer is the most boring one, which is just status quo, going back anywhere past like 10 years, gaming was nowhere near as specialized as it is now, especially as far as gear goes, and so there was a pretty unbalanced ratio of large mass production because the whole world is playing games but simultaneously a small selection of brands, so there wasn't much material versatility because there were only a handful of big brands (razer, Logitech etc etc) and so experimenting with different materials just wasn't worth it for them given R&D costs and the risk of experimental options not working out when they have much more casual-esk players in their target audience who wouldn't care about such minimalist tuning to the products,despite as you pointed out there probably being dozens of different material options that could be equally if not more efficient, but now we are slowly getting more of that because of small niche brands that can pander to a specialized player base who are willing to invest in lesser known brands and spend more money if it means getting the most optimal set-up

[@Tacet137]

If you were a chemist you would know that ptfe has the lowest friction coefficient out of all plastics and you would not ask this question

[@spikeimperial]

I thought these were pills i was shocked and thought boardzy was selling gamer drugs at first.😂

[@breakies]

[@lapofluke]

[@Hk7762Tube]

If you eat them, you will get very smooth brain, so more glide or something.

[@DigitalLiquid]

The x-ray jades are the endgame 😮‍💨

[@itskastel]

Do you think the obsidian are better? why you prefer the jades?

[@DigitalLiquid]

@@itskastel Overall I prefer the Jades because they have a softish feel and glides easily on glass. It’s a better version of BTL and Tiger Ice V2 skates. The Red obsidians are too stiff for my liking.

[@itskastel]

​@@DigitalLiquid I have an mp511 mouse pad, it feels a bit fast so I thought "if the mouse pad is fast and I buy a control skate it would have a balanced feel" but I've never tried custom skates so I'm looking for an opinion of people who tried it, if you think jades are better, I will buy them

[@DigitalLiquid]

@@itskastel Give them a try and see how you like it. You will notice a difference if its your first time swapping out the skates.

[@Frostfirerotation]

Obsidian Airs are goated, shame you didn't pick up some of those as well. Huge difference in sound signature compared to the scratchy AF obsidians.

[@boardzy]

I'll be getting them soon

[@IStratz]

Comparing the ghostglide cyclones to the obsidian pro airs, the cyclones had a lot more control for me on glass pads which was really nice. It also could just be that the UHMWPE material that the pro airs are made of is just way harder than the hardened PTFE and takes a really long time to break in. I tried using them for a few hours and just didn't want to use them for a super long time to get them worn in. But they are super smooth at least and pretty quiet as well. I'll try them again at some point prolly

[@Frostfirerotation]

I haven't used the Pro Airs because I use mainly cloth/hybrid pads so I opted for the regular purple Airs.

[@bellfriede8930]

Wow mouse skates are turning into boutique guitar plectrums.

[@glashausAimz2]

[@mrwater2033]

I second this, haha

[@sinneddragon]

Poly vs ultem, which have the least "stickiness"? Normal ptfe skates when broken in always seem to have that sticky/staticy initial friction which I'm trying to get rid of.

[@boardzy]

Probably ultem. I havent tried ntechs PTFE, but that could be solid as well

[@ToThinkorNot]

any update on getting rid of the stickiness from broken in ptfe?

[@sinneddragon]

Full sized skates for me. I have a decade supply of Jades for all my mice. I'm good.

[@RaeignFPS]

Ghostglide cyclones are by far the best skates I've tried on glass.

[@weirdodude1173]

I've been thinking about trying some dots. Thumbs up!

[@YurttheSilentChief1]

The majority of keyboard switches out there are made with this nylon, PA66. Assuming that's what the name, Nylon66, is referring to.

[@boardzy]

Someone said the same about polyacetal saying it was POM lmao, idk what to believe

[@DavisSgt]

​@@boardzyIt's both. POM usually on the stems, nylon on bottom housing. POM is harder with good wear characteristics (sliding up down), nylon is softer & cheaper (less brittle switch housings). Polyacetal =POM PA (polyamide) = Nylon

[@jacobsharpe8219]

I, gonna give these a go couldn’t stand the stock skates on the death adder v3 hyper speed so took me off using no skates Ona raider mid and shit kinda clean.

[@loolgam1ng229]

Iam sure i have seen small round mouse feet on mice way before these mostly budget mice i think. But atleast they are fast and simple to switch out. good stuff. But the new meta is no mouse skates though. Just sand the underside of the gaming mouse until it becomes shiny and it will glide really good

[@alessio6385]

which one should i get if i have a gpx 2 and a musashi void v2 and i play fps game?

[@forgotten09]

Interesting that ULTEM felt faster than PTFE (they're all plastics btw) given PTFE has, on paper, lower friction coefficient.

[@boardzy]

I havent tried their PTFE, so it could be faster. I was referencing standard PTFE skates I've tested. Both the polyacetal and ultem play faster because of the rounding/thickness as well

[@xt-cj7jg]

which is the best skates for 32cm/360 using a GPX1, on a artisan zero soft

[@Sammmmyyyyyyyyyy]

birth control skates

[@dooderman8361]

So would turcite balanced be best for lower initial static friction than traditional PTFE but still with ample stopping power?

[@boardzy]

In my opinion turcite balanced initial friction is sorta high. I think polyacetal balanced could be better

[@dooderman8361]

Ok I might try that thanks, cause I don’t have a high end mouse pad at all so I get a lot of the issue you described where you try to micro correct and it just gets stuck before you actually want it to stop, it’s just so inconsistent for small movements. For reference I am going from a Razer basikisk v3 w stock skates to a Superlight so it might take some time to adjust, but yea the Superlight and the stock skates felt super scratchy so gonna try the poly acetal

[@dp7572]

Send them over to Oslo, I’m doing a phd on identifying molecules with spectroscopy, i could break down every inch of any product to see what components/materials that any given part of an object is made of 🤠

[@chrispember172]

so which one should i get?

[@HeyNavi]

Best skates meant to be used for both cloth/glass? I use a m3k with red obsidian dot skates/stock core pads with the kin and a Saturn pro soft with the Saturn pro only being used with stock skates. I hate having to swap skates just for one pad so I got the cyclones and they’re coming soon but do you think the cyclones will perform fast or slower? I assume it’ll perform semi fast since the m3k only has room for four dots and since there’s less contact being made, it’ll be faster? If not what skates do you think will be good for a Saturn pro soft? Jades?

[@boardzy]

Jades probably the best all around. I wouldnt main hardened ptfe with cloth/hybrid pads but with an M3k it would be different I guess

[@HeyNavi]

@@boardzy yeah that’s what I’ve been thinking, and I feel it might be different with an m3k since it’s very light and will have less contact (four dots). Usually the experience I’ve been hearing with hardened ptfe/uhmwpe dot skates on cloth is negative, but I’m thinking that’s only because they’re using bigger mice which require more dots. More dots, more contact, more friction. Can never get a straight answer since it’s never a direct answer to my question. Do you think you can test cyclones with an m2k on an artisan fx zero and Saturn pro and give me response? I already the cyclones coming but I can cancel them if they’re not good and could just order jades.

[@boardzy]

WLmouse stock dot skates are really good, jades/ice v2 are great but probably won't feel too different. These are premium/overpriced but provide a unique feeling, if any of them seem interesting you could try that

[@Gershy13]

@@boardzy I've got the black triangle skates on rn cos the dots felt a bit inconsistent on the AC+ (maybe I apply pressure to one side of the mouse more) I used to have tiger ice on my lamzu. Tempted to try the xraypad stuff since I've got an AC+. Would obsidians be really slow on AC+?

Hey mate, are there any options for ergo mice with back humps? On my journey in finding a mouse, I found that mice with forward or middle humps and little to no meat at the back feel awkward to pincer, sure they have the width for it at the back, but I also need height at the back. XM2WE definitely felt comfortable to claw but if I were to main a mouse I definitely am interested in going with ergo as I value comfort aswell.

[@elohsofficals]

I was looking for the exact same thing! My lamzu thorn has a back hump so go for that

[@haydenkormait]

@@elohsofficals Thanks mate, do we have like the same grip then? For example, the ec3 I bought definitely has the width for the grip (the right flareout of the mouse) but its at the very bottom, and the overall height is so low... that i feel like I have to spread my hands across to contact it and then squeeze in subsequently which then awkwardly tilts the mouse.
