ULTIMATE 2025 Gaming Mouse Skate Tier List (30+ RANKED)

[@Spurrrg]

From an outsidesr perspective this must be the the most nerd shit imaginable. A tier list ranking plastic

[@maakureviews]

LMAO

[@kriaz9916]

I think it’s arguably more nerd shit to be the run watching😭 at least he’s making money off this I’m just here watching

[@Frostfirerotation]

Just a touch of tism.

[@triplespace007]

Glass as well, occasionally.

[@otaviosakay3133]

skates are actually pretty interesting. PTFE was discovered by accident on a laboratory, and the scientist was surprised by the white clogging the inside of a bottle, and the rest is history. Just an exciting chemical plastic.

[@BigPekker]

Frrr might just start a freaking mouse skate company😭😭kidding but also like ?? Demand is there for 30 competitors?? How hard is it to make efficient pieces of plastic to help other pieces of plastic glide across a particular surface?

Watching this in the shower

[@SAINTIFYPUNKS]

Now i will jump down the proverbial rabbit hole and find my preferred skates. Thank for the list!

[@HighTierMike]

9:08 mate I thought I was the only one that thought this. Ingenious concept of material use, but it needs to be polished again to achieve first time feeling experience. The bloke close down his store I think.

[@ShinoBells]

I noted that you said you haven't had experience with Ultraglide skates. I got the Ultraglide "Silence Version" skates on AliExpress a few days ago, and they have been excellent. Outright fixed harsh instability noted just from pressing down on my mouse with pure PTFE skates. I don't have the Xraypad equivalents, but I've noted excellent control and stopping power so far. I am current on a cloth pad (glass soon), so my perspective may show inexperience. However, the glide doesn't feel terribly slow compared to pure PTFE skates, and if anything, feels vastly smoother and consistent by comparison. As the name suggests, they seem quiet as well, though I will reiterate that I'm on cloth for the present time. Ultimately, I can already confidently recommend them, and think they would be worth showcasing on the channel.

[@iamAnquaret]

Thanks, that was actually helpful! I've been deciding between jade and obsidian air, and now i have a better picture of what to expect of them. Guess my go to option will be obsidian air cuz i'm an average glass enjoyer, and would really appreciate if i was the only one who hears every of my mouse's movement (instead of every living being in a 1km radius). Right now it's very loud and i hope that obsidian will do it's job

[@onikisusalt3665]

Xraypad do make Jade airs at this point. I did like them on my Wall hack sp004. One thing to note is that at least in my experience, all the air skates will get louder as they wear. At about 60% normally they'll be just ad loud as normal skates. But they'll still have another 40% lifespan in them before they start actually feeling scratchy.

[@iamAnquaret]

@onikisusalt3665 noted, thanks for useful info! I mean, they will still be a 9999% better then some random skates i use now. I don't even know which one are those, got 'em as a bonus when i bought a pad

[@lucaschenJC]

Keep em tier list vids coming! Shockingly good

[@dyllxnx]

cordrua pad + glass skates is the best combo i have tried

[@dico8199]

fr makes it play like hockey table but at the same time really good stopping power

[@HM204DTA]

Hello, boardzy, I want to know what mouse pad you tested these SKATES on? This has been the biggest question on my mind.

[@KetboySlim]

Nice video. Im on the plastix (with glass pad) because i really want consistency but after a month of using i feel like its missing sth that other skates provided. I love the feel of the obsidian pros on day one of usuage. If i had the money i would use them and change them everyday. But i don't so im looking for better options. This video is helping a lot, thank you

[@HM204DTA]

Obsidian air pro

[@SandmanJr90]

Thx for the tierlist, got some Magic Ice's coming for my GPX Dex, finally got some pads out for this thing!

[@MeltedSlushyyy]

actually crazy that i’ve been waiting for this tierlist 😭

[@sitrep]

Just as lord boardzy prophesized the obsidian air pro is a mud skate completely turned my raiden and otsu into a moped. Gonna use these skates for playing balloon tower defense 6 to get those very precise pixel placements down. Then I'm going to switch over to the jade airs for apex to test that out.

[@stepbrotom4516]

You should do a video about temu mouse pads including glass pads. Would be a great budget focused video

guys best skates and grips for deathadder v3 pro ?

[@Mega4943]

I love obsidian airs, great and informative video, shocking even

[@HarperSmith-e7t]

What do you use it on was looking at them not sure if it’s only good for glass pads

[@Mega4943]

@HarperSmith-e7t I use glass, but obsidians should be nice on cloth aswell, jades are a bit quicker and nice if you only use cloth though.

[@ruumelan]

I don't know why but I always come back to full size mouse skates

[@boardzy]

Same

[@defiantzzz]

Have Artisan P8’s on the K83 and it is tech. The only issue I find with the dots is if your mousepad is humid which isn’t ever really an issue on the K83🤯

[@BurittoSandwich]

The pink Yanzi skates have been great. Very smooth, minimal texture feeling, and have lasted me months on a textured glass pad.

[@lordMYS]

Corepad air are awesome on the FX zero! Basically zero static friction - love it.

[@MegaBrattis]

You should make a tier list for the stock skates alone, so ppl know when to instantly replace them or when to give the stock ones a try.

[@samuelhernandez4135]

Idk if he fills the same way but I always replace them even if they’re good for consistency reasons. Cause they’ll need to be replaced eventually unless u buy a new mouse every time u need new skates haha

[@dontpokethebear3893]

I'm here to see where you stand on Corepads because I am a Corepad Skatez Supremecist.

[@digitalillustration604]

Agree most of the tiers actually, expect I'm having fun with Superglide glass skate v2/Lexip/XRaypad Meteorite on Shidekai v1/Element Ice. Maybe I'm living in dry cold Canada, humidity isn't a problem.

[@Siepownidas]

what about xraypad obsidian (black) and also which one you prefrer dots or donuts?

[@slasherFTK]

What’s crazy is I was just watching your last video a few days ago on skates

[@teemglad196]

I've tried Obsidian Air on Razer Viper V3 pro. Only tested them on cloth pads, wanted something for control, but they ended up being faster than stock skates and also not as smooth. They had pretty good properties, no difference in static and dynamic friction, very consistent overall. So if you like dry, a little scratchy, but very balanced and durable glide with good stopping power, Obsidian Air skates are very good. But i prefer more standard PTFE on cloth

[@J-Pop]

Me gusta en que todos concuerden en que los Jade sean los mejores skates, y encima son muy baratos. Algún día..

[@DuckyVanya]

I was literally just looking to buy new skates and I have no idea what to use on cloth. Thanks!!

[@anc3stral.]

Sinceramente most of the time i don't agree with u (like on glasspad or some mouse shape), but holy...this tier is based af, Bravo. Even more that u putted Jade (my goat) in S. Just perfect.

[@danisasphyxia8959]

obsidian pad skates feel really good with lgg saturn pro and venus og, smooth glide with control and good stopping power

[@das-nyc]

Shocking. My favorite skates are Lamzu glass skates on my Atlantis and Corepad air on my X2. Always on hybrid fast pads.

[@Exyile]

speed wise corepads are my favourites on speed pads but replacing them is genuine torture

[@YurttheSilentChief1]

PA66 nylon isn't even the smoothest material used for keyboard switches. They're better off experimenting with POM or mixtures of other plastics with PTFE. If you guys are dead-set upon using the 66nylon skates, they might need some serious break-in before being considered "smooth"

[@Ruemir007]

god DAMN that mustache is looking good

[@trippingrainbow]

Damm. Suprised seeing you put Superglide 2 in trash. Easily my favourite skates. Do agree on the v1 wearing down fast tho.

[@CallMeJayKing89]

TJX plastics are all you ever need same mouse feet same speed 2+ years later on a glass pad

best skates for type 99 mid for val/cs/fn?

Magic ice would be my top pick currently, if you can get a better deal on jades those are great as well

[@seishi5261]

@@boardzy how would corepads or like obsidian airs be? Way to slow or?

[@MoesWorldd]

Don’t get jades they are way to fast for a tacfps games he only recommends fast pads fast skates he doesn’t really go in depth about any of his reviews like some ppl would like more control and a balance but he only ever talks about speed like he has arc v1s in b tier but they are really good if you want control skates

[@shinefake48]

I just go for corepadz for majority of my mice, cuz they are good overall, can’t go wrong with the classic, if you want slower, go for control version skates

damn no LGG glass skates on here, was wondering what u thought of those, esp at the 5$ price they’re at rn

[@boardzy]

Same tier as all the other glass but they are cheaper. I wouldn't risk slowing down a cloth pad with it though, if you play on cordura or something plastic then it could be fine

[@turboxide]

@ been using it on the razer strider with my g303 se, I think that’s probably why I haven’t had any issues with it

Ultraglide skates are different compared to Xraypad's. Ultraglide RS is faster and smoother than Jade dots but durability is even worse but they are cheaper. You should try them out.

[@dipanzan]

@@boardzy Honestly I'm willing to give it a go. I'm currently using a VXE R1 Pro on Qck+ and Equate, both slow pads, but they glide so well with the default skates, it's hard to control for me. I'm really used to slow/drag feeling, I don't know if it's because of the low weight mouse. I was more used to 80-100g mice before.
