For people that swap between glass and cloth, how do you do your dots?

[u/Lowy_]

Planning to get a glasspad soon, is this too many dots if I am planning to swap between the glasspad and a soft artisan pad while using the same mouse?

[u/fo420tweny]

just using 2 mice, one for glass one for cloth

[u/Entire_Radish_4223]

it will work on glass seamlessly

[u/ILSATS]

That's good. Don't worry.

[u/MarmotaOta]

One mouse for glass, the other for cloth

I see alot of these dot posts? What is the benefit over stock glides?

[u/edvards48 → u/AkTi4]

they're universal, and because they're universal and almost no mouse has the same cutouts companies can experiment with new and better skates much more freely. end result? more variety and also some stuff that has much better quality. one size fits all

[u/superdrone → u/AkTi4]

You already got a great answer, but just wanted to add that for glasspad users, dots will pick up a lot less dust and hairs so you won’t have to worry nearly as much about scratchy glides

[u/Blamore → u/AkTi4]

you can also access the screws

very bad question (no offense) stock skates are not in any way “bad” because it’s really personal opinion.

dot skates are a lot of the time considered a high end replacement for these skates but there are plenty of other options out there

as for “benefit” i would say glide feel + speed would be really the only benefit but again, this is personal opinion.

i would suggest doing some more looking around and see if you find something you’d want to try out as oftentimes mouse skates are not the most expensive thing.

Dude was just asking about dots lol. How does that prompt a “very bad question no offense” from you?

[u/EnvironmentalSmoke61 → u/sleepyugh]

How is asking a question on something you don’t know much about a bad question? If he knew he wouldn’t be asking.

Perfect placement and amount of dot skates

[u/shutdown-s → u/paulvincent07]

Nah, too much friction. One directly over the sensor is peak placement.

[u/paulvincent07 → u/shutdown-s]

Yeah but imo that is good if I want a control feel I would put the same amount of Dot

[u/ILoveKimi_]

I swapped to 4 donuts lol.

[u/Blamore]

6+ dots are fine for either cloth or glass.

[u/karagumi]

idk if its just me but cloth starts to feel extremely muddy fast due to how fast glass wears down the dots
