Xraypad Aqua Control+ Uncoated, Black vs White comparison.

[@DonPauer]

They renamed the black aqua control+ to aqua control+ II. It has a separate product page: shop.x-raypad.com/shop/x-raypad-aqua-control-ii-gaming-mouse-pads/

[@imisac3754]

bro i think its just the direction of the cloth bro ur black pad is vertical and the white u used it horizontally

[@DonPauer]

​@@imisac3754 nah the x/y difference is pretty minimal, and they are very different pads. And I used the black one in the horizontal orientation most of the time, I just rotate it when one side gets dirty from use.

[@hoya1096]

Good stuff will use this when people ask the diff

[@shohankhan8541]

Underrated video in my opinion. Very good explanation. Deserves more views tbh

[@eletricdragon6204]

Just ordered one for myself! I got the white Aqua Control plus; gonna frag out on Valorant. Can't wait to get it!

@@CalebAdams2002 I ordered straight from the website and got it shipped to Canada. I paid around $15 extra for express shipping and it came in less than a week. Like 5 days, UPS is great.

if you guys dont want to pay for the shipping get a odin gaming infinity. its as good as an artisan hien and has control+speed

Thank you for this! I have been trying to do research on what mousepad to get and this really finalized it my decision, thank you! Great review!

Thanks for this comparison, bro! I own a black Aqc+ and i was actually thinking of getting the white version, this video clarified it for me.

Great Review, thanks alot

[@carolynkerr9552]

Absolute Perfect Review.

[@ch1lling143]

I am still confused what to get. I am afraid that black will be too fast I play apex legend with 800 dpi with 1.3 sensivity

[@kao9395]

we have same sens and dpi, what mousepad did u get?

[@Talionn]

Good video my man. I'm kind of tired of waiting for Artisan to restock so I'll probably just grab a black AC+

[@paulmartinez34]

I've been looking for these comparison on youtube and guess what.

[@MrRake-jk5dq]

This was actually so helpful. Thanks, Pauer.

[@tmifb9926]

White close to Logitech G640 more than the black one you said? Maybe I need to get white one I wanted to get G640 but durability of that is baad. I got Gigantus V2 and it's bit too slow for me feels mud. Need slightly faster

[@clovers6690]

is the normal aqua control+ black still good cause i want a desk mat but the aqua control+ 2 is small

[@erikhorvath1419]

is the site shown at 1:44 safe? at checkout it says that they are not responsible if they dont deliver it basically, kinda sketchy

[@DonPauer]

yeah it's the official website. The disclaimer they show is weird, but noone I know has had any issues. You can also choose to buy from a retailer like lethal gaming gear or agilecables, I think maxgaming in EU also carries them if you're sketched out by the official website.

[@Lotiks.]

You are living in Austria right. Asking because of shipping to Germany

[@DonPauer]

yeah like I said, 9 days with the expensive shipping, 14 days with the cheaper options. But it varies a lot

[@Lotiks.]

@@DonPauer Yes when people say they live in Austria or Australia i'm always not sure if i understood it right xD

Ok i got it today after 15 days very nice thanks for the Video

[@sail1627]

very useful，i want ro find a mouse pad similar to G640 but more consistent，i think that should be aqua control plus

[@__vha]

Purchased a white AC+ for half off while I wait for my Zero GB to arrive. Coming from my EBA I feel like it should be more in line with what I'm looking for since the EBA is a bit too fast for the games I play.

[@Marwan_167]

i thought the eba is a control pad, is it faster then ac+ ?

[@teok8855]

Good review/comparison. What are your thoughts on AC+ Strata versions?

does the black one have the same glide as the ones with a design on it? great vid!

[@DonPauer]

most of the ones with designs on it are coated (same as ROB Strata one). There's some new ones with a design that are supposed to be uncoated and like the black one but I havent heard much about those.

[@kojikwk]

@@DonPauer i'm not sure if i buy the black or a new one with a cool galaxy design on it, but now that you mentioned it i'll probably stick with the black version, thank you!

[@icenovaa]

Is black version faster than the white version?

[@DonPauer]

Yes

[@jovialz1437]

is the orange and blue aqua control different than these two??

[@DonPauer]

yes those are coated and very different. To my knowledge the coated ones are either a bit faster or on par with the black one (the faster of the two in the video). I hear they are very good pads also.

[@f4rs0t]

is your wrist sticky on the black one? i have both pads and played 3 month with the white option. recieved yesterday the black one and i feel like its stopping power is way higher. Are you using a sleeve on the black one?

[@DonPauer]

Not using a sleeve with the black one. I find my wrist sticks way more on the white one

laundry powder/detergent , water, my hands + soft sponge. Plenty of tutorials out there

[@jakehemten8139]

I watched the whole video a couple times but still am not sure what color to get. I play fortnite and am not sure if I want white or black. Which one do u think would be better for me. My mouse is glorious model d- with 800 DPI and 8.5% in game sensitivity if that helps. Thanks so much

[@DonPauer]

probably the black one honestly, it's what most people prefer and it fits better with the faster mouse movements required in games like fortnite, apex, quake, etc

Is the black one rough to the point where it would grind down your mouse feet faster? And are you still using it? I'm wondering how it's holing up. Thank in advance! Great vid.

What should I pick between these two? I only play valorant and csgo. Currently using viper mini with dpi800 and .37 sense.

[@lev9432]

I have the white one, not sure on the black but the white is really good for val for me as I can be rlly stable (compared to qck+) while micro adjusting those really small movements with ease

[@anonymousperson2816]

How’s the razer gigantus v2? Is it good and any downsides like becoming a mud pad affected by humidity etc? And how does it compare to QCK and the AC+? I mainly play valorant

[@DonPauer]

the gv2 is a decent and cheap pad. Similar to a qck but less muddy. I find it strictly better than my qck heavy. And for me the white ac+ is the best out of the three since it has lower initial friction but still high stopping power similar to a gigantus v2, but the texture is quite rough while the qck and gv2 are smooth

[@anonymousperson2816]

@@DonPauer does it become a mud pad or wear down fast like the qck? talking about durability

Nice review. Does the black one come close to an artisan hien? Because I really didn't like the xy axis deviation on the hien so I tend to go for the white one

[@DonPauer]

i dont have a hien but what people tell me is that the black ac+ is right between the hien and the zero

[@lucasaro8394]

really good vid

[@DeafBlindMan]

Is the white AC+ more or less accurate at stopping than the mp510?

[@getrazed4652]

I'm about to find out, waiting for my ac+ to arrive

[@peteralexandre6593]

X and Y axis are the same? Because if they are different you are comparing the X axis on the white version and the Y axis on the black version. I never understood why people were playing on the Y axis on a mousepad it's a matter of taste I suppose 🤔😉

[@DonPauer]

Almost all cloth mousepads have at least a subtle difference in x/y glide. It's not noticeable for me with those two. Not to mention that you will be moving your mouse in diagonals and arcs anyways, not along the axis. It's only really an issue if it's a very noticeable difference

[@peteralexandre6593]

@@DonPauer thanks for your answer. I have an aqua control plus black version and I feel only a subtle change on the Y axis but is it real or is it my brain's trick idk. Your video made me wanna try the white version now lmao.

[@DonPauer]

@@peteralexandre6593 yeah you can be paranoid about it and try to move the mouse up and down, see if you find a difference. But as long as I don't really notice it, it's fine to me even if there is a difference. The white one is good if you want something close to a g640, with. more noticeable friction. I'll have to try out the coated one at some point, heard a lot of good things about it.
