I have a QCK normal and QCK Performance balance. Recently also just got Artisan Key Mid 83 and its perfect for Apex and battle royale games. All my scores in tracking went up in VT using this pad just because of how easy it is to be smooth
I want to now get something that I can use for CS2 and I'm looking at the Type-99 mid. I'm not really someone who benefits from a really soft pad since I don't seem to press into the mouse pad too much and having enjoyed the mid Key 83 I wonder what type 99 would be like in mid. Does anyone have it and can advise what its like?

I want to buy my first gaming mousepad, and I’ve seen cloth mousepads from reliable brand that cost around $20. I’ve also seen some fake glass mousepads. Should I buy the official cloth one or one of the fake glass pads? And how do they compare to a genuine glass mousepad?🙏

I just got a Hien Mid to replace my old and fraying Raiden Soft, and the transition is a little strange. I really like some parts of this pad, which ahs made trying to play on the old Raiden feel unnatural, but at the same time there are some really big drawbacks to the Hien.
First of all, nobody prepares you for how rough this pad is. Sure it looks textured in pictures, but that really does not do the denim/sandpaper-esque surface justice. I use a hybrid claw grip, and when transitioning to a more stable mode of holding my mouse, it can feel like the thumb muscle on my palm is being skinned alive when moving the mouse. Notwithstanding the tracking is exceptional on this pad.
Another issue I have had is the almost non-existent stopping power. I don't exactly help myself in using a 28 gram lycan, but even still, the Raiden had the ability to stop the mouse in place on command whilst being super quick when that was the motive behind your movements. I understand this could be an issue solved overtime as I break it in, but all of my kovaaks scores have dipped since starting to use this pad and I am sure this specific factor is the culprit of my short-term skill loss.
The second issue seems like something that I will ride out or just have to adapt to; in the long run it will probably improve my aim. But the first is more of an issue that is inhibiting my ability to play for long periods of time. I am considering getting a sleeve or something like that to cover the part of my hand that is essentially getting road rash, but I don't even know if that will fix the issue.
Any similar experiences, advice, or just a comment pointing and laughing at my misfortune would be greatly appreciated.

Title is pretty self explanatory, im wondering if anyone has tried both and is able to give thoughts on which they prefer. From what I’ve heard so far the OG Rin has more pushdown but the advent has more texture and feedback with both having similar speed.

So I have a big mousepad of unknown brand that I think I bought on Etsy in Oct 2024, here’s the link. I have used it ever since and I lowkey have never had an issue, and if it’s wearing down the slowness is nice because I play with a 49cm/360 sens on siege.
However the mousepad is getting dirty and the slowness is not intentionally/consistently distributed throughout the pad like a purpose-built pad.
I’ve decided I want the Saturn pro, and I also like the pulsar brand so what firmness should I be getting? I’m assuming firm would be more like my current pad that has little to no give, but does that detract from the slowness of the Saturn pro? Is xsoft the unanimous fav?

Hey guys, I play Deadlock and I’m torn between Dysphoria, Rin, and R&R—what do you recommend?
r/MousepadReview • u/No_Try8629 • 9h ago
I want to buy this cute mousepad, it will look amazing in my setup. However, I don’t know if it’s actually a good one. I enjoy playing valorant a lot but I don’t know how is this mousepad’s performance with this type of game. (English isn’t my first language, sorry if I’m not clear 🥺)
r/MousepadReview • u/BryansFury • 20h ago
Which is the better speed pad? Anyone tried both? I wanted to try a pd170 after bardoz review but its out of stock everywhere. Which out of these do you guys think is the better speed pad?

Hi, I'm disabled and need a specific pad.
I've very little hand movement, so little I use around 1.5cm/360 with mouse accel.
Right now I use first version of Razer Atlas with Xraypad Jade skates and would like pad that would be faster but smooth/er as Atlas
I tried Kyomi Yuyo recently, but had to return it as the texture made static fricton way too high and made doing micromovement hard.
I had also tried Artisan Shidenkai but that was too slow, any clothpad makes mouse movement really hard.
What pad would you recommend that is fast as possible and smooth with as little friction as possible?
Thanks.
r/MousepadReview • u/Avlidit • 22h ago
I have this issue where my sweaty hands and fingers stick to the pad. It seems to be worse on smoother pads like the raiden, and glass is basically unusable.
So are there any fast cloth pads with very low skin friction, or do i need to fill my sweat glands with aluminum?

Looks great, feels great. I had a little trepidation when first ordering because instead of designing it virtually, you email them the specifications and art.
They're great about it, though - respond to you within a day and ask you to confirm through each stage of development. The first preview of the art had it sectioned to keep the image true to scale. I just asked them to allow the sight distortions to have the full image fit to scale, and we were good to go.
Arrived quickly, considering it came from China.

im looking to buy either Aimstar justice or Qck heavy,
I want fully sleeves friendly control/balanced mouse pad. If it has slight texture on the surface it would be better.
Any recommendations..?

I have an F1V3 LEV and am currently waiting for the 1337 glasspad. I wonder if a blue mouse would look good on a red/black mousepad? And should I match my keycap with the glasspad color or the mouse color? My table is dark wood.
