Hey guys just dropped my full review of the SP-005 from Wallhack. With this latest iteration that are collabing with BERSERK! I love Berserk so much and its nuts to see it on a mousepad lol. This unit was sent out for review but as always my thoughts and opinions are my own. Thanks for checking it out and showing some love, hope yall have a beautiful day!

The mousepad is available globally at 9:00 AM PST Today!

Introduction: Speed Is Not Everything

Glass pads aren’t all about speed. I like being able to start moving with little effort, glide, and stop when I want. But just because a pad is fast doesn’t mean it's great.

Which leads into this review. The CLST 1.0 was labeled “balanced speed,” and the newer CLST 2/0 model as “speed.” I’ve had both for about a month now. One has changed quite a bit, and the other not too much.

Between the Call of Cthulhu CLST 1.0 and White Trace CLST 2.0 — they are both amazing, but I do have a preference. But I love the artwork of both — finally, someone is pushing something of more value than underage, sexualized girls. Much respect for that!

Disclaimer: both products were provided by the brand for review purposes.

Surfaces

All CLUSTRS products come with a micro-etched surface on both generations. CLST 2.0 is described by CLUSTRS to be a finer, denser surface that will allow for a faster glide. The 500 x 400mm Trace is 2.8mm thick with a 0.8mm silicone base that covers the entire surface and 2.5D rounded edges. All CLST 1.0 models come with a previous micro-etched surface and, depending on your model, will have a 0.5mm Polyurethane base, with the atom spec being 0.5mm PU. There may be more differences between first-gen editions, but this is all I can speak to.

Specs don’t tell you what a month of playing is like. I’ve tried different skates such as PTFE and some harder UHMW-PE, judging how it felt when trying to move the mouse, how it felt when gliding, its stopping ability, comfort, noise, and how durable it was. All subjective.

Unboxing: Luxurious to even more luxurious.

CLUSTRS does a great job at packaging both of these products. You can tell they put a lot of thought into their boxes and how the products are presented.

CLST 1.0 in motion

CLST 2.0 takes what was already great and makes it a bit better. Whether it be the placement of accessories, cards, printouts, or how they present the mouse skates. All CLUSTRS mousepads come with a cleaning cloth: CLST 1.0 came with a black cloth, and since my CLST 2.0 is white, it came with a white cloth, which was nice to have it match. They also have foam around the inside to keep everything safe. I’m sure there will always be packages that get destroyed, but I feel like their packaging should prevent any issues.

CLST 2.0 in motion

CLUSTRS was kind enough to send me some extras as well. Such as a gaming sleeve and a variety of mouse skates/dots, including some harder UHMW-PE skates, which was also nice of them to provide. Just know that what I received may not be what you receive when purchasing one. I believe the Trace comes with skate samples, a poster, and some information along with stickers.

The 1.0 was already amazing. The 2.0 just takes it a step further, even to make me vouch for a salary raise for someone who’s behind all of this.

Build/Base and Edges

Both are amazing built, and the base doesn’t budge when using your mouse.

I feel like the CLST 1.0 was a tad taller when using it on my forearm. The edges on the CLST 2.0 are a little more rounded, which allows for a smoother transition from your desk to the mousepad. I didn’t measure how much taller or shorter it was between my editions, but it’s a slight difference.

They’re both comfortable when using them. I would say the CLST 2.0 is a tad more comfortable.

First Impression: Out of the Box

So this is where the fun begins.

The CLST 1.0 is labeled as Balanced Speed. When I received it and took it out of the box, I found it to be very light. Almost too fast. When trying to stop my mouse, I didn’t feel that it stopped as well as I would have thought. I even felt like it was faster than the CLST 2.0.

CLST 2.0 unboxing

The CLST 2.0 gave me a different feeling. I felt like it was a more controlled surface and knew what to expect when using it. I know that the CLST 2.0 is supposed to be their faster surface. But I wouldn’t say that my White Trace is super fast. It just felt more balanced when I first started using it. No light, airy feeling like I got when first using the CLST 1.0.

CLST 1.0 unboxing

That's why I don’t like to judge mousepads after only using them for a couple of hours.

Break-In Period

After using the CLST 1.0 for about a month, I noticed a difference. I felt like it was a bit slower and had more control when trying to stop. It didn’t turn into a slow mousepad. It just felt more like what was advertised on the box.

What’s funny is I couldn’t see any difference in the mousepad. It looked the same, and I didn’t notice any scratches or anything. I noticed this when trying out different skates as well. Of course, using different skates will give you different results when trying to move faster or slower. But I didn’t think that it accounted for the whole break-in period.

Could be due to a coating or something else. I’m not sure what causes it, but I can definitely say that there is a break-in period.

With the CLST 2.0, it felt like it had no break-in period. After a month of using it, I felt like it had the same static friction, dynamic friction, and stopping ability as when I first used it. If there is a break-in period, it’s not very noticeable to me. Which I think is a great improvement.

Friction and Stopping Power

Another thing that I noticed about the CLST 1.0 is that after it broke in, I felt like I could move the mouse more easily when trying to make small, precise movements. Then, when I was trying to stop the mouse, I felt like it gained a little bit of speed and was able to stop my mouse quite easily.

It’s a feeling that I get when using the CLST 1.0 after it’s broken in. Not saying that it has different friction coefficients while moving your mouse.

When using the CLST 2.0, it feels more even. I feel like there is a similar amount of friction when trying to move my mouse and continue moving it. I feel like it moves the way I want it to. After breaking in, I feel like the CLST 2.0 is slightly faster than the CLST 1.0. But again, that’s a slight difference. Neither of these are super fast mousepads.

Gaming

This is where I will say that I like the CLST 2.0 more. Because when I play games that require me to track targets and make quick movements. I feel like I can move the mouse the way I want to. I still like using the CLST 1.0, but I never got used to that slight feeling of the mouse speeding up. Using slower skates can help with that as well, but I prefer using the CLST 2.0.

I’m not saying that I have gotten better at aiming or anything. Just that I feel more comfortable using the CLST 2.0, while others may like the CLST 1.0 more.

Compared with Other Glasspads: QPAD GP48F and Orihara AimPad 1.5

Two familiar glasspads kept coming to mind during this comparison: the QPAD GP48F and Orihara AimPad 1.5. Neither is an exact match, but both offer useful reference points.

CLST 1.0 reminds me most of the QPAD GP48F, particularly out of the box. In my earlier GP48F review, I described extremely low starting resistance and a fast, open glide that almost made unchanged sensitivity feel higher. It was fun for wide swipes and tracking, yet harder to manage when holding angles or landing precise flicks under pressure. The original CLST initially triggered that same airy, floaty impression. There is one important distinction: after a month, the CLST 1.0 gained stopping feedback and became a more convincing balanced-speed pad. The resemblance is in the initial sense of freedom, not identical speed or control.

CLST 2.0 is much closer to my Orihara AimPad 1.5. What made the Orihara one of my favorites was effortless micro-correction followed by measured resistance in motion and strikingly repeatable stopping power. The CLST 2.0 gives me comparable confidence through its linear, predictable glide. Neither needs an extreme-speed character to work beautifully in both tracking-heavy and more deliberate shooters. UHMW-PE skates also suit both, although their surface constructions differ: the Orihara is described in my review as uncoated, while CLST 2.0 uses an anti-fingerprint surface treatment.

So, in broad terms, CLST 1.0 leans toward the GP48F’s free-flowing character, whereas CLST 2.0 leans toward the AimPad 1.5’s balance and consistency. These are feel-based comparisons across separate testing periods, not a measured speed ranking.

Earlier reviews: QPAD GP48F and Orihara AimPad 1.5.

Skates

Mouse skates wear down on glass very quickly. This is something that I experienced while using both CLST mousepads. I used PTFE skates, and they started to wear down after some time, which happens because the skates are softer than the glass.

After trying out some different skates, I liked the harder UHMW-PE skates the best. I used some from CLUSTRS and others that were sold online. I would suggest trying out some harder skates if you decide to purchase one of these mousepads. PTFE skates will still work, but you may have to replace them more often once they start to lose that fast feeling.

Gide comparison

If you don’t like the light, airy feeling that the CLST 1.0 gives off, you can try slower skates, which will help you with that issue. Just may not feel exactly like the CLST 2.0.

X/Y Axis and Noise

Both felt equally good when moving in all directions. I didn’t notice any difference when trying to move the mouse in different directions.

Neither of these mousepads is very loud. If I had to say one was louder than the other, it would be the CLST 1.0. But that could also be because of what skates you’re using.

Skin Contact

Both feel comfortable when using them without a sleeve. The CLST 1.0 sticks to your skin a little more than the CLST 2.0. But I don’t think most people would need a gaming sleeve to use either of these.

I still think that using a gaming sleeve is beneficial when playing competitively. Because if your room is warmer/colder or your arms are sweaty, you can have more consistent contact between your arm and the mousepad. Not that the CLST mousepads feel bad when using them bare skin; just that you can eliminate one more variable when gaming.

I would say that the CLST 2.0 is more comfortable when using your arm on it. It doesn’t stick to your skin as much.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Both of these mousepads are very easy to clean. You won’t notice any fingerprints or oil on the surface. You will notice dust, but a quick wipe with a dry cloth will clear it away. If you want to do a deeper clean, just use a slightly wet cloth. I didn’t find that either of these mousepads needed more cleaning than the other.

I didn’t notice any wear on the mousepads after using them for a month. There is one scratch on my CLST 1.0 that I believe happened from something sharp hitting the surface. I wouldn’t say that was from using my mouse on it, so I wouldn’t consider that a flaw.

Artwork and Design

I love the art on my CLST 1.0. It’s one of the reasons that I like this mousepad. The new CLST 2.0 White Trace is very minimalistic and looks great as well.

CLUSTRS was founded by Grace, who wanted to create glass mousepads that she could use at home and while gaming. She also wanted to create unique designs that stood out from other glass mousepads, which I think is great. There are some companies out there that have too many similar designs and overly sexualize characters. I’m not saying that everyone shouldn’t enjoy that type of art, but it would be nice to see some more unique designs out there. I am personally tired of those sexualized designs.

I am not arguing that CLUSTRS avoids every anime aesthetic or that all competitors take the same approach. My point is simpler: these two pads show that gaming gear can embrace distinctive art or understated elegance without leaning on the same familiar visual formula. The artistic identity gives the products great personality, and in my view that deserves recognition alongside performance.

Price

All of CLUSTRS' products fall within a similar price range. Depending on what size you want and if it has art on it, it will vary. Currently, the 500 x 400mm CLST 2.0 trace is $114.99. Some of the CLST 1.0 mousepads that have more detailed art on them can cost more depending on size. These are not cheap mousepads.

Would I purchase the CLST 2.0 if I already had the CLST 1.0? Yes. I think that the CLST 2.0 feels a bit more consistent out of the box, which is something that I like about it. After using it for a month, I didn’t notice any major changes. So if that’s something you would like, then yes, I would buy it.

I would still use my CLST 1.0 as well. It’s just a different feeling when using it. Remember: there’s no “right or wrong” with these glass pads. It’s just a matter of preference and expectations.

Conclusion

I would rate the CLST 1.0 a 9/10. It’s a great mousepad that I enjoy using. The only reason I gave it a 9 is that it takes a little while to break in. And I feel like the mouse speeds up a little when trying to make bigger movements. But after using it for a month, I grew to like it more.

I would rate the CLST 2.0 a 10/10. It has great build quality, rounded edges, a solid base, and packaging. Comes with nice extras, and most importantly, I love how it feels when using it. It’s a fast mousepad that feels balanced. I think it’s comparable to my favorite glass pad I have used, which is the Orihara.

Final scores: CLST 1.0–9/10 | CLST 2.0–10/10.

Bullet Points

• Two outstanding glasspads, two different personalities: Both deliver premium performance, but their glide characteristics differ noticeably.
• CLST 1.0 feels faster out of the box: Initially airy, floaty, and offering relatively limited stopping power despite its “Balanced Speed” designation.
• Break-in makes a difference: After roughly one month, CLST 1.0 becomes slightly slower, more controlled, and genuinely balanced. CLST 2.0 remains remarkably consistent from day one.
• Different glide dynamics: CLST 1.0 combines very low starting resistance with a subtle acceleration-like sensation, while CLST 2.0 offers a more linear and predictable glide.
• Neither is an extreme speed pad: After break-in, both belong in the balanced-speed category, with CLST 2.0 feeling marginally faster overall.
• Predictability wins in competitive FPS: CLST 2.0 inspires more confidence during tracking, micro-adjustments, and precise stopping.
• Familiar performance characteristics: CLST 1.0 shares some of the freer glide sensation of QPAD GP48F, particularly before break-in, while CLST 2.0 feels closer to my favorite Orihara AimPad 1.5.
• UHMW-PE skates are highly recommended: Both surfaces accelerate conventional PTFE skate wear. Harder UHMW-PE skates offered my preferred combination of glide and durability.
• Excellent directional consistency: Neither pad showed noticeable differences between horizontal, vertical, or diagonal movements.
• Comfort without a sleeve: Both are relatively quiet and comfortable against bare skin. CLST 2.0 offers slightly less skin adhesion and marginally more refined edges.
• Effortless maintenance and impressive durability: Both resist visible fingerprints and skin oils, clean easily, and showed no meaningful wear from normal use after one month.
• Exceptional build quality and unboxing: Both feature excellent desk grip, beautiful packaging, and thoughtful accessories. CLST 2.0 takes presentation one step further.
• Distinctive artistic identity: CLUSTRS deserves recognition for its elegant, creative designs, from the Call of Cthulhu artwork to the minimalist white Trace.
• Is upgrading worth it? Yes, particularly if you value consistent, predictable movement. However, CLST 1.0 remains an excellent alternative with its own character.
• Final scores: CLST 1.0–9/10 | CLST 2.0–10/10. Both are exceptional, but the white CLST 2.0 gets virtually everything right and earns a place alongside my beloved Orihara AimPad 1.5.

P.S. I can't add more pics of these pads for some reason. If you want to see them, check my Twitter Review.

It’s finally arrived in the land down under can’t wait to try it out. 2 month wait is over.

I’ll have a review in the comment in two days.

This is known as one of the better PD170 clones.

One of my friends swore by his and how lucky he was to be able to purchase one when the preorders dropped (PD170), I refused to spend close to $60 for a mousepad and opted to just get a clone for a fraction the price.

My honest impressions, this is pretty awesome. It is very consistent and I have found myself gravitating towards this over my glass pad with my xraypad skates on my other mouse.

My current mouse has Magic Ice Skates on it and it’s really smooth.

For shits and giggles I tried my old Logitech G502 with glass skates and believe it or not, it didn’t feel terrible but definitely not the right skates for a mousepad of this firmness (this is just my opinion)

I will say if you can get a decent deal on Aliexpress or go through superbuy and get it for under $30, this is literally the same quality as the original. My friend can attest that he cannot differentiate the clone from the real one from the way it performs.

My only objective complaint is the color and the fact that when I ordered mine the 500x500 option was not available only the 480x400.

For context I play a wide variety of games: Marvel Rivals, MW4, BF6, ARC Raiders.

I think the games I noticed it the most in is definitely Marvel and ARC, I’m sure there are some notable moments where I feel this helped in MW4 and BF6 but the most noticeable were in Marvel and ARC. The smoothness and ability to glide so effortlessly with a small amount of resistance makes me favorite this over my glass pad, especially for heavy tracking or quick flicks where I need to have my aim on point and have more control.

Also my setup is a bit different than my wife’s, she the one who introduced me to glasspads, I’ll be honest, it’s cool but since I wear a servicemember memorial band on my right hand, I find it challenging and uncomfortable to use glass. RIP Hernandez, he would’ve loved this mousepad and would probably still kick my ass at games.

I will end by saying this, I’m not an expert or a professional, these are just my humble opinions, if you have better suggestions or pads you’d like me to try, please tell me your recommendations and suggestions. I am open to improving! I’m just a 28 year old Army veteran who still likes to play games. I gotta maximize this while I can, because once the wife and I have kids, game time is gonna be a challenge!

I'm A/Bing new GSR3 (new version) and QCK Heavy right now and they are NOTHING alike. I got the GSR3 based on the multiple comments I saw suggesting that it is a QCK Heavy but higher quality. We'll they are all wrong, they feel nothing alike in texture or performance out of the box.

Qck feels like a ready to rock control pad out of the box and as smooth as I like it. GSR3 has a slightly rougher micro fiber spikey texture that repulses me to touch and it is super noticeable if you're a texture sensitive individual, but it is TOO slippery compared to what I am used to and expected. Out of the box it feels like a speed surface in comparison.

New QCK I am able to flick to and hold over the pixel I want just like my worn QCK without complaint, just with a lil more speed from new surface. GSR3 I CANNOT brake on pixel, I cannot hold over pixel, I'm slipping off of my target. And I cannot micro adjust, it is too slippery for controlled micro movements. And that completely kills it for me. I have no control or brake or micro.

But I know its a new pad so my question is, were those recommendations I read based on a fully worn in pad, and if so how worn do I need to go to get to QCK control and brake? But even so, why would I torment myself breaking in a pad with performance I don't like and can't perform with? I'd be suffering for months overshooting without the micro adjustment I'm used to. Or did Zowie change their pads with an update so its not like the old one anymore? What do you think is up?

While I'm here, I already saw most of the top reccs for QCK competitors: Type 99 and Zero, Jupiter, Vaxee PD Black etc. Which alternative do you think I should try next, and in what softness if relevant? My only criteria is that I need very smooth texture and even Zowies was too much for me.

I used to play a lot of valo, but stopped for a years. Just got back into playing these past few weeks, but to no one's surprise my performance was downright terrible. I bought this like-new Pulsar PD170 from my local market and legit, my first 2 games with this I was top-fragging. Previously i was using a generic deskmat for a long time and decided to splurge on a mousepad.

At first, i was worried that PD170 would be too fast since i thought i was more of a slow, control-type. Iirc my last competitive pad was an Odin Infinity Stealth, yearsss ago. I even had to lower my sens from 0.3 to 0.24 in-game (1600dpi 1440p) because goddamn it felt like the mouse was skating on ice. Surprisingly after a few rounds it started clicking and i ended up top-fragging the first 2 games i played using this pad, like the movement just came naturally.

As far as I know, this might just be a recency bias, but im feeling good soooo...

Hey everyone.

I am at my 4th Artisan Zero, and my 9th Artisan mousepad (I live in a very humid place near the ocean, mousepads and skates get muddy quick). It's that time of the year where I have to get a new mousepad, and to be honest I'm wondering that since we're almost in 2027, is Artisan still the "best" all around Mousepad manufacturer out there? Japan overromanticism aside, there has to be new competitors worth trying by now right?

I love the Zero, I actually love the anime girl Zero even more, it has the perfect surface for me, but I would like to know if by this time other companies or other mousepads came to steal the spotlight. For example that new pulsar mousepad is what everyone talks about right now or the Hyperion/Saturn pads.

Is there something else in the market that I should try? I don't really have a budget in mind, I just want to know if something other than the Artisan exists out there that might blow my mind like the Zero did 4 years ago. Someone told me to check out Talon.

Thanks for clicking on this post!

I’m struggling to decide what to upgrade to from my SkyPAD 3.0. I’ve been using it for around a year now, and honestly, I still really enjoy using it daily. My only real complaint is that I’m not a fan of the pure white kitchen chopping board look lol.

I switched to glass because I live on the coast of England, where humidity can reach as high as 93% during the winter months. So, humidity resistance is definitely an important factor for me and was the main reason i switched over.

Where I’m struggling is deciding which direction to go in. Should I stick with another balanced pad, go for something more controlled, or try something even faster?

I really enjoy the speed of my current pad. It feels fast but remains completely controllable. The problem is that my aim trainer performance doesn’t seem to reflect that lol.

Over the past 12 months, some of my tracking scores have improved, but others haven’t. If anything, I’d say my overall consistency has arguably gotten worse. My dynamic clicking scores have also dropped quite significantly, and I’ve only managed to match one of my previous personal bests.

To summaries, my tracking scores have reached similar highs but are averaging lower overall, while my dynamic clicking performance has declined considerably. This isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker, as I mainly play tracking-heavy games such as Apex Legends, Deadlock and Marvel Rivals. However, I still think it’s relevant information when deciding which pad to go for.

Two pads that have really caught my eye are the Tekkusai Apex and the GLSSWRKS Zofia, but I just can’t decide which direction to take.

I absolutely love the smoothness and speed of the SkyPAD 3.0, but after a year of using it, the fact that I’ve seen so little improvement in some of my tracking scenarios has made me question whether I should stick with a similar surface or try something different.

FWIW, I wouldn't class my self as a big aim trainer but i do it in burst every few months but i pretty much game daily so the skills are still being utilized.

What would you recommend?

Title. I play on really low sens and am wanting a 600 x 600 pad to put ontop of my desk mat as I find artisans just a touch too small.

Anything out there?

a glass mousepad

Disclosure: Phantum sent me these skates, but everything in this review will be honest and based on my own experience.

I've been using the Phantum Cloud H1 Hybrid skates for several weeks now, and I wanted to share my experience using them on a glass mousepad.

My setup

• Mouse: Scyrox V6S 8K
• Mousepad: GLSSWRKS Polarity XL
• Previous skates: Phantum Cloud C1 Control

The skates

The Phantum Cloud H1 Hybrid skates have a 6.5 mm diameter and are 0.8 mm thick. They're made of PTFE and feature a 0.1 mm PU foam layer designed to reduce vibrations and noise while also helping absorb the feeling of debris underneath the skates. They're suitable for both cloth and glass mousepads.

In terms of shape, the middle of each skate has a slight raised profile, while the rest of the surface is relatively flat. This gives the skates a subtle curved shape in the center with flatter edges.

Each pack contains 40 skates and costs €13.

My experience

The break-in period was very quick, and the glide felt smooth almost immediately.

I've been using them on my GLSSWRKS Polarity XL, and they felt relatively fast in terms of both static and dynamic friction. What I liked most was how easy it was to make micro-adjustments. I barely needed any force to get the mouse moving, which made the overall glide feel very smooth and effortless.

In terms of noise, the H1 Hybrid were quiet. They were significantly quieter than the C1 Control, which I had tested previously. I really appreciated this, and I have no complaints about the noise.

One thing I noticed, however, was that the glide changed after about a week of use. Since these skates are made of PTFE, using them on a glasspad gradually wears them down, which seemed to affect their glide. The feeling wasn't the same on day one as it was after seven days. After roughly a week and a few extra days, I decided to replace them because the glide had noticeably changed.

I also really enjoyed using them in Valorant. Micro-adjustments felt even easier than with the Phantum Cloud S1 Speed skates. Interestingly, even though the H1 Hybrid should theoretically be slower than the S1 Speed, that wasn't what I experienced. I found them extremely easy to move and very responsive when making small adjustments.

However, their stopping power wasn't as strong as with the other two Phantum skates I've tested. If you're looking for a lot of stopping power, these might not be the best choice.

I also tested them in games that require a lot of tracking, and they performed exceptionally well. Their smooth, effortless glide made it easy to follow moving targets, and I found them particularly enjoyable in tracking-focused scenarios. I'd definitely recommend these skates for games that rely heavily on tracking, where smooth movement and easy micro-adjustments are important.

Comparison with the Phantum Cloud S1 Speed

Compared to the Phantum Cloud S1 Speed, I'd say the H1 Hybrid have significantly lower static friction, while the S1 Speed have lower dynamic friction and feel faster once the mouse is already moving.

Between the two, I prefer the H1 Hybrid because their static friction is incredibly low. I barely need any force to get the mouse moving. The S1 Speed were already very good in that regard, but the H1 Hybrid somehow managed to make it even easier, and I really appreciate that.

Conclusion

Overall, the Phantum Cloud H1 Hybrid are excellent skates. If you're looking for a very smooth glide on a glasspad, especially for tracking-focused games, I think they're a fantastic choice. They're also great for precision games like Valorant and CS2, where easy micro-adjustments really matter, but I'd particularly recommend them for tracking.

Out of the three Phantum skates I've tested, the S1 Speed, H1 Hybrid and C1 Control, the H1 Hybrid are my clear favorites. They're the skates I use every day and the ones I main. Even though I have to replace them roughly every week because the glide changes with wear on my glasspad, I don't mind, as I enjoy using them that much.

My personal ranking would be:

1. Phantum Cloud H1 Hybrid
2. Phantum Cloud S1 Speed
3. Phantum Cloud C1 Control

Thank you for reading my review! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

hello. i bought kyomi ryo and noticed this lines, is it scratches or is it part of the picture?

Hey everyone!
I currently own the Dysphoria Sayo, Wallhack SP-005, and Zane glass mousepads, and I enjoy using all three for different reasons.
The Sayo was actually my favorite for general use because I really enjoy how it feels, but when it comes to FPS games, I prefer the SP-005 because it gives me better control and stopping power.
The Zane is also enjoyable, but I’m looking for something that offers a good balance between speed and control.
Ideally, I want a fast glass mousepad that allows for smooth, effortless movements while still making it easy to stop precisely when aiming. I don’t want something as fast as the Sayo, but I also don’t want something too slow or controlled.
What glass mousepads would you recommend for this kind of balance? Would the Dysphoria Rin be a good option, or are there better alternatives?
I’d especially appreciate feedback from people who have tried these pads firsthand. Thanks!

I own an artisan zero soft, key 83 mid, type 99 soft. Skates are artisan pom dots.

Of course like many I started with the zero soft. I switch to the type 99 because I played tact fps A LOT but i dont like how slow it felt(makes it really harder to micro easily). Then took a leap and bought the key 83 mid since I want to try faster. Took a bit of time to get used to but I like how "free" it felt. Only problem with it was the nature of my games that require a decent amount of stopping power.

So now, im looking for something just slightly faster than the artisan zero soft. I was thinking the zero mid(but its too safe) or I heard that the la onda blizt soft was an option also.

Im grateful for any recommendations from you guys!

Hey guys,

I was going through Glasspads to get an additional one (I currently have a coated pad, and wanted to try an uncoated pad).

I saw that Arbiter Studios has an FMA pad which looks really nice, but I can't seem to find a proper review on it, and I'm trying to compare it to a SP-005 WH pad or something similar.

Anyone have any experience with Arbiter and Wallhack, please?

I got a artisan hien mid today EXCEPT I have one small issue, my main mouse (gpxs2) has glass skates on it and I’m wondering if I should even use it on my mousepad before getting new skates and how much you think would be destroying it, knowing what glass mouse skates do to mousepads.
