- Hey everyone! Welcome back to another episode of The mel0n Review! Today we're checking out TJ Exclusive's brand new PLASTIX dot skates! Now I've covered other aftermarket skates before here on the channel but I've NEVER seen skates like this before! Now what makes these skates so unique is that they're made of a hybrid-plastic material that boasts extremely high durability while also having unique performance that standard PTFE or UHMW skates don't have while also being usable on both hard-pads and soft-pads! The Plastix also have a unique physical shape that heavily differs from other skates on the market! Now based off what TJ Exslusives is saying about their Plastix skates these seem like the best skate on the market, but we'll have to test that for ourselves! So today we're going to do a deep-dive into the TJX Plastix skates and see if they live up to the advertised hype! I hope you all enjoy the review and I'll catch you all in the next episode of The mel0n Review! Peace ✌

Hey everyone, quick update:
So I've seen a bunch of reports about some slight wobble on the Plastix skates. From what I've been able to gather this appears to be caused by uneven installations or a warped base on the mouse itself. I personally had this issue on my OP1 8K but not on any of my other mice.
The best way to prevent this is to ensure that the skates are evenly installed on the base of your mouse, if they're unevenly installed this can cause wobble. Also make sure that all the skates are worked in evenly because if one skate isn't worked in as much as the others that can also cause wobble.
I'll update this if I learn anything else about the Plastix skates!
frustratingly, Ive been having the same wobble on just normal dot jades with my gpx. only after the skates have been pretty much entirely flattened does the wobble go away, but by then theyre slow enough to need to be changed.
Been waiting on this review! I bought 3 packs of them but wanted to wait on a thorough review.
Hope you like them, definitely the best skates we've seen release this year!
Spot on review. One other thing I noticed with these skates is small specks of dirt/dust never seem to bother me anymore on these, compared to other dot skates on glass.
If I recall correctly, it still happened very rarely on obsidian donuts, though it was far far less than dot skates. The durability on these will probably decide it for me on which I prefer, though I kind of like the performance profile of these currently.
PlastiX donuts would be dope.
This is one of my favorite features of the plastix skates. so far i haven't had any dust or ptfe dust (of course) grinding under my skates yet. This was so annoying on PTFE skates
I really hope they make plastix Donuts, those would be 10/10.
just discovered this channel, super great reviews!
Awesome, thank you!
Great review man. Yea its between these dots or the obsidians donuts. Unfortunately, lately ive been dealing with a mouse woble with the tj exclusive dots on my OP1. I just have 4 dots corners. And i have re positioned the dots to the widest point of the mouse but still noticeable wobble. Will have to try your configuration of the 3 on top and 3 bottom dots. Performance is solid though, doesn't have that sticky initial friction like the obsidian pros would develop overtime of use.
You know what's funny, I had the exact same situation with my OP1 8k. I moved the skates to my VANCER Groove and the wobble went away. Not really sure what caused it tbh but whatever it is it seed to be isolated to the OP1 8k.
@@mel0nFPS interesting to see I'm not the only one with this issue specifically with the OP1 8K. Will put these dots on another mice then and put obsidian donuts back on the OP1 8K. Good to know though!
@@mel0nFPS so i have the op1 8k as my only option so how should i place the dots?
I had wobble with my Pulsar x2v2 so I moved to 6 dots and it seems to have fixed it. I wonder if the harder material makes any imbalances more obvious.
@@waterboxerI think it's also something to do with how the skates are worn in, if a base is slightly unbalanced the skates will wear unevenly causing the wobble. Seen a couple other people mention wobble issues too so maybe it's a combination of both.
I got some of these yesterday, they may still be breaking in but damn, they feel like rocks under my mouse lol. I actually like them even if that first sentence sounds terrible, it’s just very odd at first, be interesting to see how they are with more wear. Great review!
They feel much better once worn in!
Thanks for the info about the adhesive! I wishlisted a 3/8" roll of the Scapa S305 so I wouldn't forget. Would you know if the S305 works well on PTFE skates like the tiger ice/jade?
It should work perfectly fine! Just note you'll have to manually cut the adhesive as it comes in strips.
been loving mine, only minor thing is the wobble I have on my x2h mini. Banger review.
hows the durability so far ?
@@poonzy7112 I would say really good. I don’t really notice wear on mine, but wish the sound was more quite.
@@jms94 the sound can be annoying but if the glide lasts this long without wearing down turn I’m sold I play my best with new skates and low static friction so I’ll give them a go
melon did a review on my fav skates :p
nice review! how did they feel on the 4.0, not sure if mentioned already apologies if so
Not sure, I don't own a 4.0 so I haven't been able to test it on that pad, sorry!
hey melon, would you say the plastix are the most control skates for glass? or do the obsidians offer more control?
From my experience compared to the obsidain dots they're fairly similar but just like the obsidians they're not as controlled as you'd expect them to be. The Obsidian donuts are still the best for glass imo but the Plastix are a close second.
@@mel0nFPS When you say the donuts are better, do you mean they offer more control? Or better in other terms?
which have a faster glide, the plastix or red obsidians? also, which are more controlled?
The Red Obsidian dots are slightly faster than the Plastix skates but the Plastix skates have higher static and brake friction, on glass pads that is.
@@mel0nFPS thanks! Have you tried the ghostglide cyclone (hardened ptfe dots)? If so, what are your thoughts on them in general and compared to the plastix on glass?
@@inspire1ove I sadly haven't yet, been trying to get my hands on them but haven't had much luck as of yet. I'll definitely try and cover them in the future though!
@@mel0nFPS no way I thought for sure you would have tried them. They are in stock on their main site I think
I wonder how they perform on resin.
More specifically the NPETtech Speed M.
My Obsidian Pros are way faster on the Speed M than the SP-004.
I actually tried them on the SpeedM and they damaged the surface. You're not supposed to use hard material skates on that pad and the plastix due to their super durable design can actually scratch/damage the surface of the pad so I'd avoid using them on the SpeedM.
@@mel0nFPS Ah, good to know.
how does the plastix feel on the 4.0?
GOATED Skates
TJ or Wallhack dot for Glasspad?
TJx are the best dots for glass in my opinion, but the X-RayPad donut skates are better overall.
