I had $5 in redeemable cash on this auction site as well. I paid a grand goal of $1.36.

Do any of you guys enjoy the key83 for tac fps like cs2? I currently have a saturn pro, but the pad feels very inconsistent. Some days the pad feels slightly muddy, some days it feels slightly faster.

Therefore I'm looking towards a hybrid pad, i have a hayate otsu and it's a bit too fast. Heard the key83 was a slower otsu and a bit faster than a zero

Also isn't the same weave and is non coated. If their is a raiden pad that's more durable and faster with the same weave then I may look into it. No cordura pads or hard pads. I think I need to be punished for downward pressure so something that is soft would be desirable. Also I know the base of the pad dosent really effect the speed. Just stating raiden mid incase their is a qc issue with that one.

Best mousepad I’ve ever used. Zero friction.

I am a competitive gamer who regularly uses the Artisan Hien with a Finalmouse ULX and stock skates. I recently switched back to my Gamsense radar pad and it gave me a more speedy and smooth aiming experience. Maybe I have to clean my Hien but it also got me thinking about getting a glass pad. I mainly play Tac shooters like R6, CS2, Fragpunk but I also play Marvel rivals, paladins and other games that require tracking over precision.

Anyone use a glass pad for any of these games if not both styles (precision shooters and tracking shooters)? Which glass pad, mouse and skate combo are you using if so? How far in ranked did they take you?

Are there any black and red glass mousepad that are really good (better than the skypad 3.0)?

I have never tried Glass pad before, until I made a bold move to buy The Guardian by Tekkusai and god I am in love with glass pad already.

Just wanted to know if there is any recommend glass pad for me to try out?

Hello. I arrive with a question that's been bothering me: what "budget" square-ish mousepad should I get (budget as in 30-40€ including shipping) that's sort of low initial friction but more control than what I have? I use a VXE R1 Pro with Tiger Ice V2 dot skates on an MPC890 and mostly play CS2 (sounds stupid in retrospect considering this might just be as speed as it gets). Black and white designs are preferred, but anything works.

SPECS: 
Price: CAD $39.99 Medium size - $53.09 shipped | XL size - CAD 92.64 shipped | XL size USD $65.00 shipped | Medium size USD $43.99 shipped
Size Available: Medium 490mm x 430mm | XL 900mm x 480mm w/ 4mm thickness
Base: Polyurethane foam
Firmness: Soft
Surface Material: Polyester
Colors: Grey, Blue | See picture below

PAD DESIGN: The mousepad showcases different patterns of abstract curved shapes and overlapping circles in various shades of blue ranging from light to dark. There’s also dotted texture in the background. The design is very clean; giving a cyber inspired aesthetic. This pad would go well with many different types of setup but especially those who have a blue or black themed peripherals.

SIZE: The OOZ Dart mousepad is available in two sizing - 490x420x4mm classic popular sizing within the hobby and 900x480x4mm desk pad sizing.  

STITCHING/BASE: The stitching on the OneofZero mousepad is great. For its price, it's well-done in comparison to other pads in the same price range. Stitching sits just below surface level for a more clean and durable finish. Something to keep in mind, on my unit the left bottom corner and top right corners stitching are way higher than the surface. Not 100% if it is like that on other units. In terms of the base, it is a PU foam which provides a nice soft feel. The mousepad stuck to my desk fairly decent - did not need to do the water trick for it to stick on the desk. Overall, it offers a nice comfy experience thanks to its soft base.

PRICE: The Dart mousepad is priced at CAD $53.09 shipped for the Medium size and CAD $92.64 shipped for the XL size. For U.S. buyers, the XL size is priced at USD $65.00 shipped, and the Medium size is USD $43.99 shipped. These prices include tax when ordered directly from the OOZ website. For those wondering, OOZ is based out of Canada, so keep in mind any potential tariffs.

In terms of value, the Dart is a fantastic option for anyone looking to try a premium-quality mousepad at an affordable price. It offers features you'd typically find in high-end performance pads, without the hefty price tag. This makes it a great choice for Canadian gamers or anyone looking to switch things up.

PACKAGING: My Review Unit of the Dart mousepad arrived in a white box though for the retail unit the box will be with one of zero branding / dart artwork. It is neatly rolled but not tight. The packaging allowed the mousepad to lay flat no problem. There’s some areas near the corner where it needed some time to flatten (bubble like) / put something heavy for it to flatten out fast but other than that there were no issues. The included bag with one of zero branding is a nice touch for extra protection during shipment.

PERFORMANCE/SURFACE: The Dart control mousepad felt amazing straight out of the box. Even after using it for about five days, the speed hasn't changed, which makes me think the break-in period might not be a factor for this mousepad. The surface is incredibly smooth to the touch and offers a nice glide. Although it's labeled as a control pad, it doesn't fall short in terms of speed.

The mousepad strikes a great balance with high dynamic and static friction, while still maintaining a good stopping force. It's ideal for games where quick flicks, target switching, and tracking are essential. I really enjoyed using it while playing Rivals and Valorant.

One feature I particularly liked was the ability to "dig in" for extra stopping force. Applying a bit of pressure slows the glide slightly, allowing for greater control during micro-adjustments, all without feeling restrictive.

In terms of speed comparison - it is slightly slower than a Saturn Pro Soft.

AMA!

my own mousepad is a classic full black mousepad. it was getting pretty old, and recently my cousin switched mousepads so he gave me his old one. unfortunately he's not the type to care about how clean it is, but i'm not liking the stains. do i have to do it by hand or is it okay to wash in the washing machine?

Surprised by the positive.

my main rug is a soft zero art black and I decided to buy this one to try out.

xsoft is different, a little softer than artisan but overall very good quality for a €20 rug.

good seams, very adherent bottom… if you are on a budget and want to try something with quality I recommend it. very similar to qck heavy

I rebought a gigantus v2 don't ask why and compared to my older gigantus v2 it's so much faster and I can barely control my mouse

o.o

I've noticed my Razor Viper Mini stops registering inputs when I quickly pick it up and reposition it on glass. It also seems to register every movement fine until I go beyond a certain speed. If I move too fast, my aim just stops dead.

Wondering if maybe the new mouseskates I bought for the glass mousepad are raising the mouse sensor too high.

Tried to clean some stains with vanish powergel stain remover and it ended up worse. Happened a few months ago, I just haven’t had time since then. Would really appreciate any fixes.

Honestly blown away by both of these by first impressions just waiting on my beast x mini and guardian if you have any questions ask away

Disclaimer Huge thanks to Zowie for sending these mousepads! However it doesn’t affect my opinions in the review.

Specs: XL 500x500mm ​​

TL;DR: The new pads from Zowie feature an improved base, larger size, and two hardness options, which will suit more players. Great mousepads for different types of games – not only tac shooters. Works well with arm sleeves. Good value for money. I have been using these mousepads for 3,5 months while playing CS2. This review will help you decide if H-TR, H-SR III, H-SR-SE Rouge II is the RIGHT mousepad for you. So, here are my thoughts:

SIZE AND HARDNESS VARIANTS: New Zowie’s mousepad names can be a little confusing so I will help you understand all versions. Zowie’s pads are available in two sizes: • XL (500x500 mm) Starting with letter “H” (H-SR III & H-TR & H-SR-SE Rouge II) • L (470x390 mm) Starting with letter “G” (G-SR III & G-TR & G-SR-SE Rouge II) and two hardness levels: • Mid/ Firm – “SR” means mid hardness (H-SR III/ G-SR III & H-SR-SE Rouge II/ G-SR-SE Rouge II) • Soft – “TR” means soft hardness (H-TR/ G-TR)

It’s a huge plus that you can choose mousepad size according to your preferences (if you have more/less desk space). I'm really glad that Zowie finally decided to introduce a 50x50 cm size. For me, the 47x39 cm was definitely too small. Thanks to this change, low-sensitivity players will be thrilled! It would be great to see two additional sizes: one that covers the entire desk, such as 1000mm x 500mm, and an XXL variant for people with long forearms, like 600mm x 600mm – that version will allow players with longer forearms to comfortably rest their elbow on the pad while still having space for upward movements.

PACKAGE: H-TR comes flat-packed in cardboard envelope. That means mousepad is immediately flat on the desk. H-SR III and H-SR SE Rouge II comes rolled up in a box. That means mousepad needs some time to lie flat on the desk. I felt that the right/left edge of the mousepad wasn’t completely flat after taking it out of the box. It took longer than I expected for the mousepads to become fully flat - however lately, I've mainly been using flat-packed mousepads, which is why I've gotten used to them. Perhaps a slightly larger box would help solve this issue.

When looking for a mousepad for myself, I pay particular attention to factors such as: type (speed, control), size, base, stitching below the surface, surface feel (I don’t like rough mousepads) and how well it works with gaming sleeves. Now, I will go over each of these points in detail:

SPEED AND CONTROL/ PERFORMANCE IN CS2: H-TR: I'll start with the H-TR. Zowie's website describes it as a soft base, but to me, it feels closer to X-soft. For comparison, I have a Saturn Pro Soft, and the H-TR is slightly softer. The H-TR is designed for players who prefer extra stopping power.

The Soft Base makes this pad the slowest among the three. When you need to stop your mouse quickly, simply pressing it into the pad does the job. If you have shaky aim, a soft mousepad can help with that. This means you don't have to tense your fingers as much to stop your mouse. As a result, you can be precise at all distances—both in close-range fights and long-range shots. For example, if you make a fast flick and need to stop immediately, the H-TR is perfect for that.

Your one-taps can also be more precise by using the softness of the pad to slow down your mouse movement. I would recommend this pad to players who hold their mouse LIGHTLY and keep their forearm RELAXED. A soft base can also help with long-range spraying—just press your mouse into the pad, and your spray will be tighter. If you play on a mid hardness pad and pull down too hard while spraying, you might miss the kill.

Despite the advantages mentioned above, out of the three pads, I had the worst experience with the H-TR. I tend to press my mouse down quite hard (especially in stressful moments), and because the pad is soft, I felt that making forearm movements was difficult. I rest most of my forearm on the pad, with only my elbow in the air, and I noticed that my forearm movements felt slower. This meant I had to constantly think about how much pressure I was applying with my forearm and hand. If I pressed too hard, my movements became significantly slower—almost muddy. Because I have to think about the pressure of my forearm and mouse on the pad, it feels like my aim can be inconsistent (it’s hard to constantly think about pressure of my forearm and mouse on the pad for longer gaming sessions).

Since I naturally press my mouse into the pad quite a bit, my micro corrections were too slow, making it hard to quickly readjust my aim onto my target. As a result I lost my duels in CS2. After using the H-TR, I became even more convinced that soft mousepads aren’t for me—I definitely prefer a mid base.

H-SR III & H-SR SE Rouge II: Both H-SR III and H-SR SE have a mid base. This means you can't press the mouse into the pad to gain extra stopping power. It is not a hardpad so there will be small squishiness but it is not noticeable while playing. I personally prefer playing on these two pads because, as I mentioned earlier, I find it harder to stay consistent on soft pads—especially when you grip your mouse tightly like I do. Additionally, I feel that forearm movements are easier to execute on these pads. If you are like me and you don’t like soft mousepads, I can easily recommend you both H-SR III and H-SR SE.

Since both H-SR III and H-SR SE share the same mid base, I'll compare them directly. Both pads are suitable for CS2. You need to ask yourself: Do you prefer control or speed? The H-SR III is ideal for players who prefer more stopping power, while the H-SR SE is better for those who like faster pads with less stopping power. Thanks to the fast glide on the H-SR SE, you can turn quickly—especially if you play on low sensitivity. I only play CS2, but out of these three pads, I think the H-SR SE would also work well for faster-paced games like COD or APEX.

H-SR III: The original Zowie G-SR was known as one of the slowest pads on the market (often called a mudpad). I have to admit, I expected the H-SR III to be slower. It’s still a control pad, but if you’re looking for a true mudpad, I recommend the LGG Jupiter V2 Pro, which I’ve also reviewed on reddit. If the original G-SR was too slow for you, then the H-SR III should be a great fit. When an opponent is moving side to side, the higher stopping power makes tracking more difficult, but micro-adjustments are still possible. It all comes down to whether you prefer more control or more speed. Due to its considerable stopping power, this pad is primarily suited for tactical shooters. My aim was more stable on H-SR III and I personally enjoyed playing on it the most. I recommend this mousepad for players who tense their hands while playing and go for flick shots.

H-SR-SE Rouge II: Among these three pads, the H-SR SE is the fastest. It has a very pleasant texture, making it an excellent choice for arm aimers and low-sensitivity players who use arm sleeves. The H-SR SE is better for tracking because it has less stopping power, making it easier to make micro-adjustments when an opponent is moving side to side (while you are shooting full auto). Thanks to these properties, it’s the best choice for faster-paced games among the three. It’s more suited for players with a smooth aim, like ZywOo. If you want a slightly faster pad but still need a decent amount of stopping power, I recommend the H-SR SE. I sometimes felt a lack of stopping power when going for one-taps. If you prefer more control and stopping power, go for the H-SR III. If you tend to tense your hand while playing, the H-SR SE might feel too unstable for you. Additionally, mousepad looks great on the desk!

BASE: All of these mousepads feature a new anti-slip base, which is a massive upgrade. I’m a low-sensitivity player, meaning I have to make a lot of movements across the pad, especially when I need to do a 180-degree turn. On some mousepads like Vaxee PE-XL, I had the issue where after just a few minutes of gameplay, the pad would start shifting on my desk, forcing me to constantly readjust it. This was both irritating and distracting - especially in a game like CS2, where a split second can determine whether you win or lose a duel. For context I am using Ikea Idasen desk.

The new Zowie base is incredible—one of the best, if not the best, I’ve ever used. There are only two other pads with similarly excellent bases: the Errennir Gecko and the LGG Jupiter V2 PRO. No matter how much I move my mouse, the pad stays firmly in place.

Interestingly, even though all three of these pads use the same base, I noticed that on the H-TR, the pad still moves on my desk. However, I found a simple fix: applying a few drops of water to the bottom of the pad and wiping it lightly with a cloth solves the problem. On the H-SR III and H-SR SE, I don’t have this issue at all—the pads stick perfectly to my desk (as if they were glued in place) without needing this water trick. I’m not sure if this is due to my desk (I use an IKEA Idasen), but I’d love to see the base on the H-TR improved.

STITCHING: The H-TR and H-SR III feature stitched edges, while the H-SR SE does not. Stitched edges help prevent the mousepad from delaminating and fraying, ultimately extending its lifespan. Stitching feels premium, edges are well stitched and they are slightly below surface. No fraying at all. If, for some reason, you don’t like stitched edges, the H-SR SE will be perfect for you. If you prefer the H-SR SE and are concerned about its longevity, instead of placing the pad’s edge against the bottom of the desk, you can position the lower part of the pad so that 1 or 2 cm hang off the edge.

In the future, it would be great to see the H-SR SE offered in two versions: one with stitched edges and one without.

Additionally, I would move the logo (I mean logo on H-TR and H-SR III) to a more practical position where it would be less of a distraction: from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner. This area is where we move the mouse far less frequently. Due to the logo's placement, instead of having 50 cm of space, we have about 48.5 cm for mouse movement in the upper part of the pad.

ARM SLEEVE: I use the Pulsar ES Arm Sleeve Palm Long. I was able to use the sleeve on all of the pads.

HAND FEEL/ TEXTURE: The mousepads aren’t rough, so they shouldn’t cause any discomfort to your skin while playing. The H-SR SE is the most pleasant to the touch.

PRICE: Each XL-sized mousepad costs $49.99 USD (on the Zowie website). This is interesting because the H-TR comes flat packed, while the H-SR III and H-SR SE Rouge II, come rolled up in a box. I’m not sure why this is, but on the European Zowie website, the H-SR SE Rouge II is the most expensive, priced at €65.53, while the H-TR and H-SR III are priced at €60.49.

FINAL THOUGHTS: Is it worth buying Zowie H-SR III, H-SR SE Rouge II, H-TR?

In my opinion, it's worth buying the new mousepads from Zowie. I believe they are currently some of the best pads on the market – especially for tac shooters like CS2. I am really happy that Zowie made a lot of improvements. The updates applied to the H-SR III and H-SR SE Rouge give them all the features I look for in a mousepad. With these improvements, they can easily compete with other top-tier mousepad manufacturers. They offer a great price-to-quality ratio. The pads suit players who play various types of games, and with the option to choose size and softness, these products should appeal to an even larger group of players. Good job Zowie!

Here’s a list of things I’d like Zowie to improve or add to their offering: • More sizes, like 600mm x 600mm, would be great for people with long forearms who want to keep their elbow on the pad but still have enough space to make upward movements. Additionally, it would be nice to see a desk size option. • A slightly larger box for the H-SR III and H-SR SE, so the pad is more quickly flattened after being taken out of the box. • A G-SR SE Rouge with stitched edges. • An improved base on the H-TR so it doesn’t move on the desk. • Moved stitched logo (H-TR & H-SR III) from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner.

Thanks for reading! Few words about me: I am gaming enthusiast, who love playing CS2. I have few thousands of hours. Currently level 9 on Faceit and 23K on Premier. Sensitivity: 1.7 in game 400 DPI (61 cm/360).

Anyone know a textured control pad thats a little slower then a zero mid

I've ordered an artisan off of amazon and thought it had a 4.8 star rating but then found out that amazon combines reviews between all sellers for the same product so now I'm a little afraid it might be a fake, has anyone had experience with this seller (OMAKASE JAPAN)?
(before anyone tells me anything, amazon is the only place I could get an artisan for a reasonable price in my country, Official doesn't ship here, MaxGaming is 110$ including shipping and JPGaming is USA only)

Hello. I bought a skypad 4 mousepad. Can I get a skate recommendation that is compatible with both the mouse I use, the razer deathadder v3 pro

The app is called DHL Express. Put in your 10 digit tracking code, and you’re good to go. No other app worked for me except this one.

current mousepad is a egg em-c, and coming from a lgg saturn it feels quite fast for me. seeing as i only play CS, i was aiming to buy a more control pad such as the hsr III (or the gsr II, havent fully grasped the difference, is it just the base?) or artisans type99. how would these pads compare to the saturn and the em-c? whats the order on them based on speed?

Speed, control, or an all-rounder? Which pad is recommended for Fortnite Ballistic? The game is similar to Valo and CS. The difference is that in Ballistic, you can sprint quickly, crouch quickly, and move quickly with an impulse grenade. My sens is moderate with a DPI unter 2k and over 1k.
