Begging for a recommendation
Ok, so to give a little background. I was using the same cloth mousepad for like 10 years (some glorious o mousepad they don’t even sell anymore) until the past few months. Just never thought twice about it, didn’t bother me, too busy in life etc etc.
Not to sound cocky but I’ve always had really good aim. Never been an issue. I just wanted to experiment and push myself since I’m retired now and finally have ample time to game. Gave me something exciting to work towards and it really has been fun.
I’ve heard all the hype over glass pads and finally decided to dip my feet in the water. Did a lot of research and decided on the glsswrks polarity pad. It seemed to be a good “balanced” mixture of the typical glass speed but with more “control”. I’ve been using it for months and found two things. My tracking has improved significantly but my clicking has gotten worse.
I wanted to try glass because I wanted the ability of that easier smoother glide for tracking. Versus my cloth pad that just felt like I was dragging a car without enough torque to get off the line quickly. Obviously an exaggeration but you get the drift lol. I sure got that smooth glide I was looking for but man it just feels too fast. Like I just can’t control my mouse the way I should be. Specifically in clicking scenarios.
At the start it was brutal getting used to it. I thought I was never going to be able to main it. Using it now compared to the beginning it’s actually pretty crazy how much I’ve improved/changed. I like what it’s done for me but I think I need to try something different. It doesn’t feel “perfect”. I’m sure the feel of perfect isn’t truly plausible and is probably a constantly changing factor. But I can’t just try one new pad and call it a day right!?
I need something that will still have that smooth glide that’s improved my tracking. Yet has more control I guess? For my swiping to click targets. Right now it feels like it’s just TOO slippery. That I’m just fighting my mouse wanting to float around. I am using obsidian air skates for reference.
The pulsar pd170 peeked my interest. As it seems to possibly be what I’m looking for (glass smooth/cloth control mixture). But with the way things look. I don’t know if I’ll be able to get one THIS YEAR!?
Throw your suggestions or advice at me. I’m open to anything.
TLDR:
- Currently using glsswrks polarity pad.
- Need new mousepad suggestion.
- Want to keep smooth glide of glass pad.
- Need more control like cloth.
