Mousepads.

I have noticed something a bit contradictory in a lot of reviews and Reddit threads (yeah, I know... Reddit). Control and Balanced pads are usually positively reviewed, while speed pads seem to be surrounded by negativity.

But then, glass pads which are in the ultra-speed/no friction category are raved about :confused:

Bought the Wallhack SP-004 glass pad. It's so smooth and feels really nice to use. Expensive but worth it.

I hate the re-brand from Sky Pad to Wallhack, why name it after a cheat it just doesn’t make sense… however, the mousepad is great and I have been really pleased with it.

I’m using the SY-001 with a GPX2.

It makes sense if you think about it. Less experienced players that get review units/frequent Reddit like control pads because it helps mask their bad mouse control ability.

The more experienced players/people who actually do research look at glass pads favourably because good mouse control suits glass well.

It's kind of like how all the mainstream sites if you type in "best gaming mouse" will spam that the 150 gram Logitech G502 is the best mouse to ever exist. Those are the same people stating how bad speed/glass pads are. The stock skates of Logitech probably doesn't help either.

Artisan seem to have updated their website. Looks a little cleaner and they’ve knocked off a couple quid from the shipping.
 
Does anyone have any experience with the Zero soft compared to an LGG Saturn pro? I was leaning towards the Saturn due to the supposed hair issue on the Zero, but now the Zeros slightly cheaper and it does seem more popular.

Hair issues aren't too bad on the newer Zeros, the old ones (as in ones from 2019/2020) were a bit of a pain. My current Zero is from last year and it's been fine with the hair issues compared to my one I used back in 2019 and 2020. That one felt like I had to keep one of those cat hair removal things on my desk!

Haha sounds promising then. I’ve got two furry cats so if the hair issues were prominent I’d be swamped. One of their reps mentioned that they were looking for cheaper shipping options which is enticing. I think I’ll grab a zero soft when those shipping options come in.

Shipping seems to have come down in the last 12 months, I tended to either buy 2 pads for myself or would go 50/50 with a mate and buy 2 at the same time as shipping was always a slightly easier pill to swallow when it was delivering 2 pads.

Zero soft is what I'm running at the moment (XXL in orange) and I'm liking it a lot, smoother glide than from my Hien soft and much less friction compared to my Hayate Otsu. I might try the Key83 next, seen some really good feedback on that!

I’ve heard the Key83 is unique when it comes to cloth. If I get two I’ll end up with a Type 99 mid as well. That matcha green is nice and I’m fond of control pads.

Tenta X Jinsoku, very nice unboxing experience, shipped flat. Will have better feedback once I use the pad a bit more.
