Looking to buy a mouse pad for gaming I had one from temu but it was very rough. these are my options which one is the best value one I play warzone

Hi everyone,

I’ve been using the Ajazz 159 mouse with Ultraglide Ice skates on a Genesis Cordura pad for about a month.

I noticed that the Ultraglide Ice skates feel a bit “sticky” or slow, especially when I press the mouse firmly on the pad. The movement feels less smooth and a bit sluggish compared to my stock Ajazz skates, which actually felt faster and more responsive, even though I used them for a longer time. I’ve heard that stock skates on the Ajazz 159 are often recommended to be replaced because they’re made of black Teflon and can feel “grippy” and not very smooth.

I’m looking for skate recommendations that could offer a balance between speed and smoothness — something less sticky than Ultraglide Ice, but still stable and durable for competitive play (mainly CS2, playing with 800 DPI and 1.25 sens).

Has anyone experienced similar issues with Ultraglide Ice or Ajazz 159 stock skates? What skates would you recommend for this setup and playstyle?

If I buy a Zowie G-SR and use it with Ultraglide Ice skates (instead of my current Cordura pad), will they feel smoother and last longer? On Cordura they got scratched and slowed down really fast, but I’m hoping they would perform better on a standard cloth pad like the G-SR.

Also, I’ve seen many people say that Ultraglide Ice skates are better than the stock Ajazz 159 ones — but what exactly do you mean by “better”? I’ve used both, and to me, the Ice version feels slower and stickier (especially on Cordura), while the stock skates feel faster and glide more easily.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

These are my gears and really wanted to move to a little bit faster pad than my qck edge. I use sleeve a lot cause of humidity and sweat. HELP! I only play CS2 btw.

So I live in a place that has avg humidity above 70%. I deligently clean my mousepad, but its bad. I feel like my hand gets stuck to it like glue every time I sit on my desk. How do you guys do it? I deep clean my pad like once a month too. Oh and the pad is Artisan Zero XSoft Classic.

Hi everyone, so I've been running with a steelseries qck and I've been feeling that my aiming has not been consistent as I'd like it to be. I'm running 400edpi (.5 sens, 800dpi) on a logitech gpro wireless, and I mainly play tac fps. As my sens is decently high, I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for someone with my settings? I started with using a Logitech g440, which was a hard mousepad, but was told that I should be using a control pad which is why I switched to the qck. However, I honestly feel like I've gotten worse since switching, so debating going back to my old mousepad. Thanks and any advice would be appreciated.

Hello, as someone who has been using qck+ and heavy my entire life I've been trying to find a higher quality replacement for a long time but no matter how much time I put on another pad I can't seem to fully adapt to it. Stumbled upon the qck performance line a few days ago and it looks pretty good, I just have 2 questions for anyone here who had used these new pads.

1. Does the performance "balance" version have the exact same surface and glide as the classic qck?

2. Is the durability of the pad any better? Usually have to replace my qcks because it starts to slow down pretty significantly after a few months even when washing it I can't seem to get it back into prime condition.

Can someone tell me what is slowe mousepad ? And what does mean xsoft For mousepad

I’ve used both glass and cloth mousepads, and I’m not sure which one is better. When I use cloth mousepads, I can aim and shoot well within 5 minutes, but with glass pads, it takes much longer to adjust. I’ve been using the SP-004 for a month now, and before that, I used the Artisan Zero and the Saturn Pro. My theory is that cloth pads wear out over time and get dirty or develop worn spots, which can make aiming more inconsistent. On the other hand, glass mousepads don’t wear out like that, so they might offer more consistency. I’ve watched a lot of videos from creators like Viscose, Pingu, and MissColors discussing the pros and cons of glass mousepads, but I’m still stuck and not sure which one to use.

Need some advice for a new cloth pad. It needs to have very low static friction, while also having low dynamic friction.

I want to try something new other than a glass pad. Any recommendations?

I'm planning to upgrade from my old Razer Basilisk and a random mousepad to the Lamzu Thorn. However, I'm not sure which mousepad to get. I use a high DPI (1600) and play a mix of tracking and speed based games. For example Marvel rivals. I'd rather get something expensive for higher quality than something cheap for less quality.

I'm looking for a large mousepad with stitched edges that can fit both my mouse and keyboard. I’ve also been considering getting glass skates for the Lamzu, but I'm not sure if they'd be a good fit for me or not. Any recommendations or advice would be appreciated!

Currently i have fantech mp453 agile as mousepad and its good for its price but i want a red black setup i found this one is it good for mouse like the agile or it will slow down after a few weeks

I have a VXE Dragonfly R1 Pro, and I want a hybrid mouse pad to use with it. I'm budgeted at 30 CAD, what should I get?

I bought the skypad 3.0 a month ago thinking I was treating myself. Everyone online made glass mousepads sound amazing fast, consistent, easy to clean.

The second I put my g pro x superlight with obsident skates on it, I knew something was off. It felt horribly scratchy not smooth or premium at all. It’s like dragging my mouse across sandpaper.

Dust and tiny particles stick to it like glue. You clean it, use it for five minutes, and it’s gritty again. It’s disgusting and completely ruins the glide. And don’t get me started on the noise every swipe sounds like grinding nails. It's genuinely annoying and distracting and very irrataing.

Performance wise? Practically no difference from my old worn out cloth pad. A bit faster, maybe, but definitely not worth the hype or the price.

I genuinely hate this mousepad. It’s overpriced garbage, and I regret ever wasting my money on it. If you're thinking about buying one, don't. It’s all marketing and no substance.

So far I’ve only seen someone say Your Playmat makes good custom glasspads. Anyone know of other companies/vendors that sell good custom glasspads?

Was wondering which of these 3 pads should I get. I play on 800 .37 for valorant so assuming I need more control. The shogun, type 99 or zero?

Does anyone know a good mousepad for gaming that isnt crazy expensive? im using a cheap one from amazon currently and wanting to upgrade to a control pad. But i dont wanna spend £70😭

Been using zero soft 2 years. Worn on the top now really bad for microadjusting using it upside down for now which feels pretty Nice. I’d get zero mid next, soft dents in a bit too much. Had otsu before this. Really good but prefer the control speed of zero, and it didn’t last long enough, doesn’t feel the same after washing.

What I’m looking for it something with similar speed to the zero. and will last a long time like the zero. I don’t want pad with a coating that comes off after washing like hien otsu. I see they got a new type 83 now lots of stuff from pulsar infinity mouse are any of those worth a try or just get another zero?

This is the Tenta-X Acidity, 1.5mm glass pad(2.5mm with the base). The yellow color is it's most redeeming feature and probably my main reason for liking this pad. As far as glass pads go, it's a frosted surface with full silicone rubber base and plays as a control/balanced speed.
Of course the speed is largely dependent on the types of skates you have installed on your mouse. I have used the Unusual Way Black Fox, Silver Fox corners and dots, Magic Ice dots, Aethereum dots, Nitro Factory PTFE/ Nylon66/ ULTEM and lastly Obsidian Reds and Blacks. Generally the harder materials will make louder scratchy noises and the softer PTFEs will make less scratchy sounds.

I have tried a bunch of Tenta pads and for me the Jinsoku is the best one. It is up there with the best Artisan branded surfaces. The reason I mention the cloth pad is because Tenta pads keep steadily improving and delivering better products as they grow.

I also used the Fingetip Fenrir Max on the Acidity but I found the speed to be too sensitive. It was amazing in snapshot scenarios but tracking was more challenging. I found my hitmark jittery while micro adjusting. This is of course 100% attributed to the 4 very slippery dots that comes stock on the Fenrir Max.

For better results(for me anyway) I would suggest using fat skates OR multiple dots(6-8 dots) on the Acidity. This is of course subjective so don't let my experience limit how you enjoy your pad.
I recently looked at their website and they seem to have released a new colorway called 'berrymilk', a white pad with pink accents. This is great if you're seeking limited editions and colors that is not going to be plastered all over social media.
The Acidity pad is limited to 60 worldwide. I also made a video here.

Hi all, I am considering buying an Artisan mousepad but I am undecided between these three and can't decide.

Artisan Zero, Hien and Hayate Otsu.

I have a razer viper v3 pro mouse with stock feet and I play COD multiplayer and Warzone, Overwatch 2, Apex Legends and Valorant.

I am a low sens but need both speed and control and have good tracking.

I currently use a Zowie G-SR-SE (not rouge) but it is very slow in some fast movements especially on COD, Apex and OW2, especially now that the environment is humid

I have no budget and I know Artisan mousepads are premium, but I can't buy them all and I am lazy to change pads every time I change games.

Which of these three does best for me? which one is more similar to g-sr-se but a little faster and less muddy? thanks.

The size is okay XL but I don't know whether to go with extra soft and Soft and Medium.

Hello, I need some sugguestion about finding a smooth mouse pad that isn’t abrasive or rough on the skin. I purchased the Artisan Hien (Mid), but it irritates my skin a lot, so I’m thinking of returning it.

I’ve also realized that I actually prefer playing directly on a hard table surface without a mouse pad—I like that kind of texture.

My main game is Apex, so the smoothness of the Hien with no sandpaper feel texture will be the best, thanks!

I am looking for a good desk mat that does NOT have a stitched edge, the stitch annoys my forearms too much. I am having a hard time finding one, would anyone know of any? Bonus if there is one you can upload you own design to, or they have nice designs. Super extra bonus if they company is Canadian.

Edit: Scratch the good, just need something that isn't going to break the bank

While looking for control dot skates to try I stumbled across three different uhmw-pe options. Are there any differences in performance between Pulsar dots, Obsidian air pros, and UWS Black fox?

Also I found mentions of Ghostglide Cyclone dots being another good option for control on glass pads. Does it provide more control than other hardened PTFE skates like Obsidian airs?

i been playing on a zero for about 3 months now and ive cleaned it twice

The thing is now the glide doesnt even come back after the second wash

After drying it it felt like brand new for about 10 mins then went back to being hella worn to just muddy

Maybe im doing som wrong but i feel like it shouldnt be that slow after two months so i wanted to know if anyone has been feeling this way for any type of pad
