Speed Demon Dream - FNATIC Jet Mousepad Review

[@UpgradeLemonade]

Do pads like these make better options than pure glass?

[@AllisonRoadWest]

Yes 100%. For me. No disrespect to glass / aluminum lovers. But if you use those surfaces daily - you will grind you mouse feet / dumping them to perhaps 3 months of use. Even at $10 a set for mouse feet - thats $40 a year and $120 after 3 years. Those $99 glass pads are actually $220 after 3 years. That being said - as you correctly mentioned in the video - glass will last a lifetime vs pads. Something to be said for that. So soft pads feel better and are more comfortable - and at $40 each even if they last 1 or 2 year s- its still nearly half the cost of glass. The counter argument is a soft pad going "muddy" and needing cleaning. True but regular maintenance helps and there are surfaces like CORDURA that will last a lifetime.

[@AllisonRoadWest]

FYI Vancer has 2 versions of the ICE. The V2 makes adjustments to tracking abilities (some people had sensor mice with issues on V1)....so to everyone - avoid V1

[@UpgradeLemonade]

@@AllisonRoadWest Actually very very valid point 👌I've mentioned that on other videos but forgot on this one

[@UpgradeLemonade]

@@AllisonRoadWest I never had the v1 only tested v2

[@AllisonRoadWest]

[@Hystar_GG]

We had the chance to produce this style pad, but ultimately decided not to produce it due to the pad picking up oils very easily and the no texture on the surface which not everyone enjoys. Always cool to see unique offerings from other companies. Good insights, great review! 💛

[@UpgradeLemonade]

My OCD can agree about the smudges lol but it's definitely a fun one to use, thanks for watching Hystar 🤘

[@Criticalmaze]

@@UpgradeLemonade Purchased a comet from hystar. My fat cat literally pissed on it and I couldn’t get the smell out so i had to throw it out. I purchased a ice v2, freefall sv , and this Jet. This freefall is so badass it’s going to be hard to beat. I have not received the other two. I hope you do a top 5 lemonade I would be curious to know what they are 🫡

[@UpgradeLemonade]

@@Criticalmaze maybe just maybe ;)

[@wazeFPS]

I’ve been using this pad for a few days and I love it, I use it for Valorant (immortal 3) and tried doing my daily kovaaks playlists and straight away I beat all my scores and I was surprised because I thought my flicking would be worse or at least hard to adjust, naturally tracking was very easy only pasu tasks like bounce 180 didn’t improve. My pinky has contact with the pad because of the way I grip my mouse so it gives me a ton of control and stopping power when I need it so I’m not sure how it would be for more traditional grip styles. I did notice I need to use an arm sleeve with a thumb hole because the wrist drag bothers me especially for tracking. In game I enjoyed the pad very much and found a good improvement on my micro corrections and generally very fun to use and less tiring over long periods with my low sens (0.1 1600/81.6cms for 360°).

[@SentientAI.Official]

How is the pad holding up. Any slow spots ? And can you clean the spots if they become slow ?

[@VoltaReviews]

Awesome detailed review 🍋 You answered a lot of the questions I had in this video which is great. I’m keen to check this pad out since I’m on a speed pad journey and be interested to see how durable it is

[@UpgradeLemonade]

Cheers brother ! Ya it's a fun experience for sure

[@WestVirginiaWildlife]

I've heard that if you pair glass skates with it it glides smoother than a glass pad

[@OlicheckGamingTech]

Great review as always man! 👍 The Jet in desk size is probably a solid competitor to the Pulsar XXL Superglide, I guess... 😁

[@UpgradeLemonade]

haha ya it would be :) and thanks for watching Oli!

[@DJFITME]

Does it have strong chemical or rubber smell? I have MCS (multiple chemical sensitive). I have no problems with artisan pads those doesnt smell at all but original non pro LGG saturn i had to sell it smell so strong and didnt go away after 2 weeks. I currently main skypad and this jett mouse pad in XD size would be nice for aim train trackking scenarios.

[@UpgradeLemonade]

Sorry I can't quite remember if it had an off smell it's been in my office about 2-3 months. I've had pads after I received this one that definitely gave off more of a smell in packaging that I remember so I'm going to assume this wasn't too bad?

[@DJFITME]

@@UpgradeLemonade okay thanks for the reply👍

[@lilycarries]

amazing review Lem! really explained everything i wanted to know for if i wanted to buy this one or not

[@UpgradeLemonade]

much love Lily, glad it could help 💛

[@rhapsoz]

great comparisons to the vancer ace & ice! def linking this if I see anyone ask about it

[@UpgradeLemonade]

Thanks Rhapso 🫶

[@Zhean3553]

I just looking to compare between vancer and fnatic jet, because only jet have 950x550, thanks to this video, 👍🏼

[@StepoKu]

Wait is this just like esports tiger wuxiang 2? i had the vancer ace and liked it then i got the wuxiang 2 and its been my desk ever since waiting for someone to make a desk version of that surface if this is close to that im ordering the desk version asap haha

[@UpgradeLemonade]

its similar but still different. the vancer ace has a little texturing to it still, this is very very smooth. but the concept of a laminate film of sorts is the same and the affect is very similar

[@StepoKu]

@@UpgradeLemonade thanks for the reply and all your good vids been watching for a while! I will be ordering the desk version of this 💪

[@erones]

What's that little plastics on your LMB and RMB? I assume it's like a groove for the fingers to rest? Is that a 3rd party product?

[@UpgradeLemonade]

ya its called the SoSpacer Grips. new product im testing, they are available for purchase tho

[@SmedrockFL]

did the jet come out before the glorious ice pad? it looks to be a VERY similar surface minus the color obviously but definetly a similar looking surface and thats currently my favorite pad thats been out for quite a while now

[@whiskeredgundam7765]

Was just curious as to whether or not you decided to try this pad. I ask as I currently use the glorious ice pad as well and I am looking for a replacement.

[@SmedrockFL]

@@whiskeredgundam7765 i did not, i actually ended up going back to more control pads lately but im certain this feels exactly the same as the ice pads

[@geoffking6525]

After a few months my Jet has worn a huge patch as slow as my Dash.

[@LegioRulez]

Thanks for the review man, really informative! I've been eyeing this mousepad (I currently have a AC2 Sakura but I wanted to try something smoother/faster) but I have some worries about durability... do we have any news on that? Does it develop slow spots?

[@UpgradeLemonade]

I haven't personally used it very much as I get a lot of products to test since this video. Ppl who I know who main it haven't told me any issues yet. I'd check on Reddit to see if anyone else has some long term usage info :)

[@LegioRulez]

@@UpgradeLemonade I gave up and just received my Jet. Damn it is smooth! Hopefully it's gonna last quite a bit :)

[@camper706]

@@LegioRulez i had a problem where i used the mouse got slow 2 month use with superglide skatez

[@sm_tf7804]

Hallo, if u would put mouse on that wooden table would it be faster or slower ? I have 3d print 20 g mouse and my wooden table is still controllable. I guess weight of mouse reaches the point where only in air would make it hard to control. so I was think about Pulsar Skypad or Fnatic Jet but not sure if I even want that. I was trying tablet and if tablets would be more precise I would probably use them but Wacom Intuos Pro S still can not track my hand shakiness so unusable for pixel tracking. maybe something like glass/sephire skates + glass pad :D but I have heard that glass skates are not consistent and with glass i would be scrachy but I don't know.

[@ApparentlyPeter]

Finally, a pad meant for me. Any plans for reviewing the Atlantis Mini or any other mini mouse?

[@UpgradeLemonade]

I have a review of the Atlantis Mini out already! 😀 And next small mice I have are the HSK Plus and Pro from GWolves. It'll be a few weeks out tho

[@ApparentlyPeter]

@@UpgradeLemonade time to wait for more quality content

[@stepoku1271]

Hey I used to rock the vancer ace and swapped to wuxiang 2, its the perfect pad for me but doesnt come in desk size sadly, if the jet is like the wuxiang im ordering one asap. Does anyone have both the wuxiang 2 and jet and can confirm they are identical in glide? Cheers

[@jilesbraeden]

do we have any information on the longevity of the pad? id love to give this one a go but i cant stand buying a new pad every 6 months or so to keep it feeling as fast as it should be. as always fantastic video thank you.

[@UpgradeLemonade]

no they didnt give me any range of expected life for the pad in any of the marketing material sorry :/ I have friends in the community who have used the Vancer Ice and Ace for well over 8-9 months and have no slow down. then again the materials arent quite the same so take that with a pinch of salt

[@jilesbraeden]

@@UpgradeLemonade sweet as i guess ill just have to wait for the mousepad mastersheet to update

[@apostolispat5462]

Between Fnatic Jet and the original Lamzu Energon wich one would be the smoothest / softer to the touch in the surface??? Thankyou

[@UpgradeLemonade]

Completely different feel and style of pad. The Fnatic jet is definitely the smoothest pad I've felt tho

[@RigsBelgium]

are the specs correct ? you say: 475 x 475 x 3 ( timestamp 0.59) but it should be XL 465 x 465 x 3 , great review nevertheless ! i think it will be my next mousepad ;)

[@fiorxe]

how do you think the wuxiang 2 is in terms of durability ik i’ve asked a lot abt this style of mousepad but i’m just looking for one that’s fast and durable

[@UpgradeLemonade]

Never tried it tbh

[@christianwolthuis1285]

how does this pad feel with glass skates?

[@UpgradeLemonade]

I didnt use glass on it, I briefly tried out Sapphire dots and it was super fast. Fnatic told me glass should be fine but I had another viewer DM that glass skates felt scratchy and were having a slow down feeling when using it.

[@christianwolthuis1285]

@@UpgradeLemonade thanks a ton for the reply I'll surely keep my eye on this pad for sure

[@user-ty9pu1qe4u]

this or fnatic dash or razer strider for ow?

[@UpgradeLemonade]

It's really come down to personal preference at that point. They are all quick pads and will be nice for longer tracking in OW. Just gonna have to determine yourself type of texture and feel you want. Fnatic jet is the fastest

[@user-ty9pu1qe4u]

@@UpgradeLemonade I mostly play genji guss I will go with fnatic jet , but I’m new to ow on pc do u think It’s better to go for the fast pad right away or start with normal pad with mid speed first ?

[@UpgradeLemonade]

@@user-ty9pu1qe4u I think you can get used to anything tbh, but I generally prefer to recommend a more balanced pad .but just give yourself time since you are new to PC

[@user-ty9pu1qe4u]

@@UpgradeLemonade ok thx bro

[@mike_nba]

is this a Raiden clone in terms of speed and perfomance? would like to see how it compares to Raiden, as it's a high-speed non-coated surface which is not common on the market. Usually very high-speed pads have coating, like the Vancer, or are glass pads. Also the fact that is non-coated makes it in my eyes better VFM than the Vancer which eventually the glass infused coated surface will wear out. From the photos btw i notice that the stitching is indeed thicker on the Jet but looks like it's lower than the Vancer. Is this the case?

[@UpgradeLemonade]

itd say its faster than a raiden. and in terms of the stitching you will notice this when your mouse glides over it, Vancers you wont

[@Brumor]

Fastest pad in your roster?
