xraypay obsidian donuts my beloved

[@MoesWorldd]

Should I buy these if not what skates would you recommend I am using lamzu maya 8k with an artisan type 99 and valorant is my main game I also have never used dot skates what’s the difference W video like always ❤

[@mel0nFPS]

If you've never used dot skates I'd avoid the VORTEX's as they're a fringe-type skate, plus they're not compatible with soft pads. If you want a good control optimized skate, I'd try the GHOSTGLIDE mini Donuts!

[@MoesWorldd]

@ ok will do thanks

[@glashausAimz2]

i would love to try them, but it seems i have to stick to my by basic corepad dots for now 😕

[@jamesarmstrong9647]

Have you tried these with tang dao? As pad is firm but rough

[@mel0nFPS]

They're "technically" usable, but the Tang Dao's surface is too high friction in combination with the VORTEX's in my option.

[@CloUD.5959]

being this early is crazy ❤

[@shaf2806]

I feel like these dots would pair rly well with something like an Artisan Raiden Mid if someone wants to use that for tacfps.

[@mel0nFPS]

Yeah they'll significantly slow down pretty much any pad!

[@Meditationsfindme]

wierd i tried these against the obsidian air pros and the air pros felt more controlled and can use them on both hard and cloth. Wonder if I should wait for the break in period? Not sure why your review sounds like they are so much more controlled !! Ill give them another try thank you

[@mel0nFPS]

Hi! Sorry I realized I worded this poorly, the Obsidian Air Pro skates are the "slowest" skate out there, but in my opinion they have too high a level of static and braking friction to be usable. The VORTEX's are similar in their controlled feeling, but have a ever so slightly lower friction coefficient, so they're much more usable than the Obsidian Air Pros in my opinion. Hope that clarifies, apologies for the confusion!

[@erenaims]

I have a razer viper v3 pro and a padsmith temple of dreams v2 should I buy these?

[@mel0nFPS]

I haven't tried the TOD myself so I can't comment on their compatibility, sorry!

Good Morning Melon, Whats up brother 👍 Im looking to buy sora v2 after coming across your review. Ive been playing on the first generation logitech superlight since 2021. I am a claw grip player that just wants a change. Is the sora v2 still worth it? If so, what glass skates do you recommend for it? Also, i fear moving away from the superlight but i also want to experience 35-45 gram mice for 90-110 smackaroons. If you recommend any mice that would benefit me from what i listed, thatll be cool; however, i am 87.9999% set on sora v2 Thanks, WeeToffer

[@mel0nFPS]

Sora v2 would be a good fit, it's a great mouse (as long as your hand size is correct). For skates the X-RayPad Obsidian Air dots & Ghostglides Mini-Donuts are my personal favorite. Hope that helps

[@Tipsyfr]

is there tactile feed back?

[@mel0nFPS]

There can be, depends on the pad type. On smoother surfaced like the RUIN or SATURN they have a slight bit of feedback. On rougher pads like the STRIDER they feel much rougher.

[@Tipsyfr]

@@mel0nFPS oh im getting the lgg jupiter which i heard has a very smooth surface so ill be getting the vortex mouse skates i really love that texture feed back

[@simondaberooni6483]

why valorant tho

[@mel0nFPS]

I play Val so its the first game that came to mind, but they're good for any TAC FPS

[@simondaberooni6483]

@@mel0nFPS makes sense hahhaha :D

[@rcmeo]

these + jupiter pro + 65cm/360

[@Tipsyfr]

wait are they good on the jupiter whats the tactile feedback like and the control?

[@rcmeo]

@ did not like how they felt on the jupiter pro. just too soft of a pad for dots this small
