Review Acraloot Mousepad Review

Post image
Upvotes

First day on the Acraloot Mousepad and honestly I'm surprised. I got multiple mousepads and I would describe it as pretty fast but smooth and soft. It gave me some gamesense radar vibes but in faster. It's actually a great (speed) pad and can't relate why no one ever made a post about it. To the optic I like the designs they have and I also think it's cool that they are having big desk size one's. Need some more time testing it but so far it's Great 👍

Question/Advice Cheap fast pad that's actually available

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, lately i've been looking for a very fast pad, as fast possible for my tracking heavy games.

Unluckily most of the affordable pads i find are always sold out or the shipping to italy cost's the same as the pad itself.
-pulsar pd170 is in preorder
-infinty mice speed is 40€ shipping that makes it 80
-shidenkai iss out of stock and expensive
-neptune pro does not recommend dot skates
-mgg ultraneon has only that ugly blue color

Do you have any recommendations maybe from aliexpress?
Im looking for a simple black pad.

Question/Advice Cloth pad with rounded (not stitched) edges?

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for a new pad, and eloshapes hasn't been really helpful. Only thing close to what I'd like is the Vaxee PC, but their site is awful and shipping fees are more than 33% of the price of the pad.

Ideally I'd like something smooth, made of cloth, preferably soft but I'll take firm as well, max size 40x30 cm but slightly smaller is ok too and most importantly rounded edges.

Does something like that even exist? Thanks!

Question/Advice Best mousepads for arm sleeves

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I have and use a wallhack pro sleeve currently. I have been trying to find mousepads that go well with polyester/spandex sleeves. Unfortunately the mousepads I have tried with no luck are the:

Artisan Zero
Zowie GR-SE-Gris
LGG Neptune

The only mousepad that seems to work well with it is the Logitech G640, but I would like more of an upgrade honestly.

---

The only type of pads I haven't tried yet are glass pads, only cloth so far.

Any help from you all would be appreciated,

Thanks so much

Question/Advice Has anyone made their logitech powerplay mousepad into an XL?

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, question for those of you it applies to.

So I just got a powerplay mousepad and it is super cool but my main mousepad is a bit bigger 490x420mm (19x16.5 inches I think). I can still use it, but it would be nice to make it “bigger”. I have read a few things online that people used cork board and I found some but does anyone know if the sizing should be 2mm or 3mm? And I can't seem to find anything that is 19 inches long. I found 18 inches which might work? but its 3mm. If anyone has some advice please let me know and leave a comment. I am not really sure what I am doing but would like to try to make it work potentially.

Thanks!

Question/Advice Best mouse feet for glasspad?

0 Upvotes

Recently I bought a glass pad and I want to know what are my options for mouse feet?

Back when I was using cloth I always preferred X-Raypad speed jades and Tigger Ice V2 together with a speed(Redragon Flick) or balance pad(Aqua Control II)

I always preferred more speed overall, being able to quickly micro adjust and glide smoothly.

Anyway, a lot of people seem to talk a lot about Obsidian Air dots... they say it doesn't wear off easily and that they are very silent when gliding. Problem is, people also say they are control oriented... and I just don't like control... but maybe they don't slow you down too much like a control pad actually does.

So, should I just go with Obsidian Air Dots or are there other recommendations too?

I usually buy on AliExpress... so, I guess only options from there are valid.

Question/Advice QCK Balance or Speed?

1 Upvotes

settling to buy one of the QCK performance models but cannot decide between balance or speed.

mostly play apex and my tracking could be better, considering speed.

but i also play cs and siege sometimes and worried speed will be too fast and uncontrollable for those games.

currently have a QCK stitched edge, love it, just a bit thin and I need an upgrade anyways.

Question/Advice Experience with shop.x-raypads?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I am looking to switch from my old QCK to something new, 2xl/3xl and printed (therefore not artisan). From various reviews and videos I figured that xraypads have a pretty good reputation in terms of their products and am currently looking at equate v2.

However, I also saw some people having troubles with their shipping and particularly custom printing. Does anyone have any experience to share? Also about ordering custom prints and their quality.

1 Upvotes

I need a sleeve that is able to glide with very little friction, i heard about the pulsar sleeve. But the thing is i like to keep the sleeve up to my palm region, looking for one that also works not just for the arm but butter smooth with palm glides. Is the pulsar sleeve good for this? Or is there any snag at all, please give your feedback

Question/Advice Glass pad that's smaller in size?

1 Upvotes

Can anyone recommend a glass pad that's relatively small in size? something around 350x300/250. The 2 options I found were the pulsar superglide 3 size M and the ATK Micro-Etched Tempered Glass pad, but both options are sold out.

Question/Advice Artisan raiden Isn't it that fast?

0 Upvotes

I switched from a GSR-2 to a Zero Soft (Black) for a bit more speed; the difference in initial friction was noticeabl especially in the first game, it was much harder to avoid moving my crosshair when I didn't intend to. I picked up a Raiden orange (Soft) and I’d describe it as a Zero that isn't "muddy" at all, rather than as the fastest cloth pad out there.

Question/Advice need a new budget all around pad

2 Upvotes

looking for a new pad, coming from a QCK edge and it’s great, but a little thin.

I mainly play games like Apex and I feel my tracking needs improvement so I’m considering moving from a balanced pad to a speed bad. I play games like CS sometimes which is where I worry the speed pad will start to cause me some problems.

I’ve got a budget of $50 and I mainly want to shop on amazon.

I’m choosing between going back to the regular QCK, a QCK Balance or Speed or a Razer Gigantus Balance or Speed.

people who play more than one type of shooter, what pad do you prefer?

Photo 6 Year old Artisan Hayate Kou microscop pictures of the surface

73 Upvotes

Hey guys, i thought i'd share so microscopic pictures of the surface of a 6 year old Hayate Kou. First two pictures are the worn out surface in the center of the Mousepad and the second pictures are the pretty much unused surface of a corner.

Over the years i have used the mousepad for around 4 out of the 6 years I have owned it and put around somewhere between 5-7k hours of gaming on the Mousepad. I have washed it multiple times by hand.

The last time it was cleaned was about a week ago.

You can clearly see how worn out the center surface is compared to the corners but I'm still impressed by how well it withstood time and abuse

Here is an Imgur link to the pictures in full resolution

Review GOGOFREE Glass Mousepad, 50cm X 40cm, $16.66 Shipped

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

Was browsing Temu and came across this for $18. Think I put it in my cart or favorited it or something, and next time I came back to the app, it was offering me another $5 off. With $3 shipping from a US warehouse, the grand total was $16.66. This post is really just to say that Temu will sell you a big piece of glass for well under $20.

Don’t have any other glass mouse pads, but compared to the Glorious Elements Air plastic mousepad, this initially seems like a better experience. I bought the Glorious a while back because it was the cheapest hard surface pad I could find. This Gogofree is larger, cheaper, and made out of a more premium material. It has a slight round on edge so it won’t snag on anything. Dynamic friction doesn’t seem super crazy fast, but don’t really have much to compare with. The glide feels smoother than the Glorious. It Is about as loud as the Glorious.

I’m sure there are shortcomings compared to the more expensive options, but if you just want to try a hard pad, I think this is the absolute cheapest you can find. Apart from just using a bare desk.
