Glass mousepads could be the future of insane aiming - (SkyPad 3.0)

Today I try out SkyPads new glass mousepad, in games like Apex Legends and Vanguard. It really surprised me, and is definitely different than anything I've tried before! - www.SkyPad-gam...

Glad you tried out the Skypad. It's amazing

[@Aimbotpreicc]

*edit nvm

[@noblerust]

@@Aimbotpreicc no hes using hyperglides which are ptfe not superglides which are the glass mousefeet

[@Aimbotpreicc]

@@noblerust hmm okey. didnt know that i thought they are glass

[@surtees__]

how is it on long term use. or just some weeks till it might get dusty?

[@Aimbotpreicc]

@@surtees__ i have a skypad for 4-5 months now. You just wipe the dust from it and your ready to go.

[@JacoTheDeadRuler]

Tldr; Really good for fluid consistent aim on competitive games, annoying to use casually and bad for flicks.

[@rxnown]

Bad for flicks if you can't control your mouse XD

[@skullkrusher4418]

@ٴ How would swiping randomly work on another mouse pad?

[@skullkrusher4418]

@ٴ sure, glass pads require more control, but to say flicks on friction pads are random swipes is absurd.

[@skullkrusher4418]

@ٴ Hard disagree. There are some extremely talented aimers that will agree that certain pads are better for certain types of aim. There's a reason skypads are more common among apex players and cloth pads are more common among tac FPS players. Obviously better mouse control is always better, but to say your mousepad doesn't favour a certain type of aim is certainly not true.

[@comkioxd]

@@skullkrusher4418 You can use ANY mouse and mousepad and sensitivity on ANY game, this bullshit info is the reason I got a zero first instead of a raiden when getting into artisan mousepads and I regret it majorly!! Right now I'm on a skypad and play cs and valorant mainly, with high sensitivity, with raw accel. Form your own playstyle, learn mouse control, aim train, see yourself improve.

[@utsuro9794]

Cant wait to smack my hand against my mouse pad forgetting it’s glass

[@NateGibsonYT]

Yeah thankfully I switched back to my old pad before I started playing elden ring hahaha

[@tekopuakanapanapa6824]

Wait until you flick too hard and accidentally slit your wrist.

[@propanzx924]

Funnily enough for being a glass joypad their damn hard to break

[@karambitss]

@noname yeah it does

[@esmeabela9866]

You're a menace holding the Skypad like that

[@ZombieRommel]

Been using the Skypad 3.0 for the past 2 weeks and I love it. The biggest challenge is to unlearn all the compensatory mechanisms you learned while using other pads. Basically any error you make is your own fault. So you have to learn to stay calm and slow down a little. All your movements have to be done with precision. The upside is that the pad never betrays you. What you want to do is what you do given your technical skill is high enough. On a sidenote, I've never had an issue using the pad without a sleeve, but I do keep my room cool and I have a fan blowing directly on me at all times. I feel like moisture / sweat / humidity is the culprit here.

[@poonzy7112]

Thoughts on 3.0 vs 2.0 ?

[@ZombieRommel]

@@poonzy7112 3.0 was my entry point so I can't really compare them.

[@Nexit_l]

I bought the Skypad in January switching from a Glorious XL pad. it took some time of getting used to, but it's definitely one of the best decisions I've made. The "dirt" on it can get really annoying, and I feel you on that. After the 2 months of using it, flicks finally got more precise too but still does not compare to a clothpad where you can stop the movement by applying pressure with your wrist onto it. Also, there is not that much difference between a new Hein and a Skypad when it come to stopping power but the fact that I mentioned before, applying pressure, does not make it feel that way.

[@elog361]

Depending on the mouse grip you use is it possible to consider using your fingers itself for stopping power. I’m using the skypad for like 8 months now and I feel like the benefits are just too good to ignore the disadvantages. Especially with more experience with the pad is it possible to find workarounds for the problems 😄

[@comkioxd]

There's a huge difference between a Hien and a Skypad in speed and stopping power please don't spread misinformation

[@BazonBTW]

Thanks for the review. Appreciate you being open to try it out :)

[@cereal3236]

Tell skypad to come out with glass feet 😏

[@dylfps]

I've owned every mousepad there is, and ever since I got the skypad 3.0 I can't switch off of it.

[@closinbtw]

I’m so glad you got to try a skypad. However, they do tend to eat at your skates so you have to factor that in the price. Other than that, I would highly recommended a Skypad 3.0 to anyone but I also would recommend glass skates if your looking to smooth out your tracking on cloth pads.

[@kyrazen]

have had skypad 2.0 for months and my mouse skates are still doing great idk what ur on they don't eat your skates at all

[@closinbtw]

​@@kyrazen i mean yeah they dont really eat at the skates, but when you put as much pressure on the mouse as i did for apex, they wear down enough to be noticable on other pads.

[@kyrazen]

@@closinbtw ah well ive never used a different pad since i got the skypad

[@WoW-fw8nt]

Which mouse feet should I get to replace my scratched up mouse feet from the skypad? It took 1 - 2 weeks to feel and see the scratches

[@closinbtw]

@@WoW-fw8nt people highly recommend corepads but tiger arc I’ve have been really good to me. Took like 2ish months

[@MagisterWigbo]

Regarding the arm sleeve thing, I think people that don't have problems are ones that are in dry climates (like me) or they rest their forearm on the edge of their desk so that it is slightly elevated off the mousepad (like me)

[@namesii1880]

I have a skypad, and honestly the ease of cleaning it is the greatest feature haha.

[@xotristan]

For anyone actually wondering - Don't buy glass feet as well as the glass mousepad lmfao, it'll just feel scratchy as fuck. Kinda common sense but he mentioned it so figured I'd clear it up even if it is a year later.

[@Jayde39]

been using a skypad 3.0 for like 3 months or so now and im never going back to cloth pads. the pros outweigh the cons for me personally, i have no issue wearing a sleeve because i did that on cloth pads anyways, the cleaning is done in like 10 secs using regular window cleaner and a paper towel and i change mice/skates frequently anyways. hard pads are insanely consistent, easy to clean and basically have infinite durability which is exactly what im looking for in a mousepad. there are also other companies doing glass pads, some even with a ceramic coating for a little more control compared to regular glass pads.

[@1k.2k]

Im glad to see you back on Apex🙌🏽

[@blazestation408]

also cordura pads are awasome for tracking once you used to it cause the friction is diffrent the cloth pads feels sliggish in comparison

[@Leon-ww3qz]

i had it for a year its insane in apex cod and other tracking games but its just such a chore cleaning it and making sure nothing gets on it while playing otherwise its perfect for tracking and not bad for point to click

[@FreeAimDog]

as someone who plays cod mobile on an ipad pro i can confirm using glass to aim makes you accurate since the screen is glass.

[@z240m3]

I wanna see more apex from nate it's just so satisfying

[@Michael-mn4ef]

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the glass feet when you get a hold of some, I've been thinking about getting some

[@comkioxd]

Glass feet aren't as consistent as glass pads

[@twistr4652]

I used the Glorious 'Ice' pad which is glass-infused and I enjoyed it. Now I have the pulsar superglides on the gpro X with a control cloth pad and it has been great so far. Takes a bit to get comfortable, but that is like anything else when you change up your setup...

[@kanifis]

My glorious ice felt great for a few months but got super spotty and "grippy" in weird areas. Unusable now. Also, you aren't suppose to wash glass pads like that so it just sits on the shelf now.

[@hlhawxh]

I had two pads on my desk, when I don't wear an armsleeve I would put the second one onto the one for FPS games.

[@kemochi3303]

I got a ninja had it for years now, it’s a game changer

[@EyelessAce]

i like how he starts out with "you probably never heard of this" when its all ive been hearing about for the past year and a half, alongside glass embedding into mousepads like the glorious element ice mousepad and superglides(mouse feet) from pulsar. GLASS FOR GAMING

[@toomis376]

Glorious ice is really nice. Got it on sale, and con honestly say it lives up to the hype

[@EyelessAce]

@@toomis376 i have it too and i like it a lot. but its slowed down a bit for me unfortunately and i may need to replace it with a different pad :/

[@EyelessAce]

@@toomis376 👍🏾thanks for the advice

[@BoozySZN]

these mouse pads are extremely tough. someone guy tests it out on youtube for how tough it was and he was throwing it on the concrete, slamming it down..it would not break!

[@CxRobinLive1]

my fav mousepad ever!

[@mrcy3478]

i also would recommend trying some different sleeves out, i use one with thumb holes and it feels great on the skypad

[@cake5400]

I low-key hope to see more apex gameplay this guy is Amazing!!!

[@bonkeldonk3578]

just bought it needed a new mouse pad for a while and I always try to improve so I want to see where this mouse pad will lead me to... Honestly about the stopping power it is definitly true. That it leads more to tracking. But I think with enough practice you can deal with it. Just like anything I have changed and tried there is a learning curve to it all it seems

[@berrucop]

Hello, first of all congratulations for the video, it helped me a lot, a question about NJ FX HEIN, could you tell me if it is Xsoft or soft, have a nice day.

[@iNTHunter]

I’ve been using skypad‘s for now over 3years i think and in my opinion they are the best hard surface mousepad’s out there and i tested a lot from artisan to logitec razer etc. and they really don’t reach near the skypad in terms of speed, precision and cleaning

[@poonzy7112]

How are your mouse feet do they wear down fast and do you recommend 2.0 or 3.0 I’m switching from cloth ?

[@yocloak]

Bro this mousepad would be GODLEY on the division(preferably 1) the ttk on that game is insanely high

[@nagiaoe2434]

The logistics of shipping and packaging this sounds like hell

[@Kryptiical]

I have glass skate and I love how they feel. I wonder if you can do glass on glass or if that would cause issues. Gaming sleeves feel like such a silly concept but I've been using one for a year and having the same texture on my arm when I play everytime is so nice.

[@Pixelroide]

i think you can play very well with a hoodie or a long sleeve shirt aswell

[@siriusa5298]

Glass skates on a soft pad are what I prefer

[@Nevooo.]

just got a skypad 3.0 aimlab edition today. its sick

[@CrustyJoint]

TGD been using it for decent time now he's gone insane with this pad ngl

[@mrcy3478]

skypad with hoodie sleeve go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[@MadMikeVidz]

Thought about buying one of these but decided to get the glass super glide mouse skates for my viper ultimate since I heard it's a pretty similar experience to a sky pad and normal feet and definitely worth it

[@sebastianrios7408]

Where did you get your skates?

[@TheeGodric]

crazy i see this video a couple hours after i bought one

[@aieloky]

I think I know why you hated the arm sleeve, it's precisely because it's too big and it's like playing everything with a long-sleeved sweatshirt whereas if you take one that's your size it will be like a second skin and it really doesn't matter. Very good vidéo btw !

[@heatnup]

I prefer glass skates on any other mousepad than the sky pad rather than the sky pad with ptfe. It’s just smoother.

[@xDigitalcrack]

You are the future of humain aim nate

[@grc1324life]

You should try some glass mouse skates legitimately gives you best of both worlds

[@s7robe297]

The raiden mid is the best of both cloth and glass

[@Brise215]

you can adjust the stopping power with other mouse feets. this pad is just awesome for me

[@flubbawubba6603]

what mouse feet?

[@RizonIbe]

I feel like it wouldn’t have enough traction but I would still love to try it

[@UnknUserx]

I use the glide 19 as of now . I've been considering a sky pad for so long but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

[@mawehtwo]

I bought one and found so many benefits but then as you said you cant stop for flicks so i kept missing headshots and was abit shakey on it but tried for three months and just put it in storage to display one day in my office in a frame as something funny

[@klkgamingcoach1610]

Nice vid nate I already use the glorious hard pad with ceramic feets and as of an arm sleeve I cut a sock and that does it lol um its real nice for tracking and as of the inaccurate flicks my sense is arm breaking low so even if I flick it literally doesn't even jiggle id be interested in trying the glass to see how much smoother compared to the hardpad

[@yeet_zen8057]

just got mine feels amazing but same problem with the hair and sleeve

[@KGR_r]

after having aim trained alot with the skypad I feel like flicking is easy AF

This arm sleeve is probably the nerdiest thing I have ever seen lmao

[@baIius]

Imagine raging and smashing it so hard it shatters

[@rzt430]

they definitely are the peak mousepads for fps, but the durability + cost combined is really a big deterrent. i dont want to spend $60-100 every 3 months for a pad for full performance

[@kyroslangen618]

What they are super durable lol the part you end up replacing is mouse skates it does eat those up more than a regular pad would

[@dark7014]

Yeah i have been playing on my glass dinning table .

[@Killjoy.Z]

Skypad 3.0 almost feels like a next-gen experience.

[@derfritz]

Nice video ,I have one question for you guys. Do you have your ads sens the same as your normal sens? Like in fps games in general

[@ReyL_TV]

I am trying the Razer Strider (Hien Clone) coming from control pads for 6 years the strider feels soooo good. Hopefully glass pads became more afordable.

[@kyroslangen618]

It has been a lng time since your comment but i felt the need the mention skypads will pretty much last you forever if you dont mistreat them so although the price is high if you plan to use them for a long time will pay off imo

[@VinOptimaxxx]

I use a hard (not glass) pad, partly because I was tired of cloth pads getting dirty and also changing friction when it gets humid. I always have trouble with my arm sticking to the desk / pad so always wear a long-sleeved top anyway.

[@lilililiililili6363]

artisan zero doesn't have humidity issues tho

[@VinOptimaxxx]

@@lilililiililili6363 thanks. Might try and pick one up if I decide to try something new.

[@jcam1987]

Sensitivity and dpi you use on this glass pad?

[@bob-hacking6027]

I can’t seem to find the right sensitivity for me. Sometimes it feels great, sometimes it feels too slow, and it almost never feels too fast?

[@AndreR0SE]

TGD seems to be getting used to it himself

[@JamalPhoenix]

Just curious what was your sens/dpi for Apex?

You can probably cut onions with it as well.

so nate. you mean to tell me you didnt hear of no glass mousepads when you been using an Artisan for so long. knowing that Artisan has the Shidenkai which is a well known glass pad

And then you live in a place with a bit of humidity and it becomes a mud pad. You need a glove to go with that sleeve in order to be even remotely consistent... Buy glass skates and use you favorite mouse pad, it's waaaaaaay better

[@sadistiqq]

hey nate check out lethal gaming gears glass mouse skates i don’t think they are sold out (could be wrong) but i got them for my xm1r and it was the best experience i’ve had with a mouse regarding every aspect since i’ve been playing m&k
