Debatable. Shidenkai is likely coming back with the RM series. Infact, it is supposed to be the first pad from the RM series according to Artisan. Tho, we still have to sit back and wait. Ngl, RM being "a pealing" surface does not give me much faith / confidence. Hope they don't discontinue the FX.
@@3ildcard I wish the company was more transparent on things. The shidenkai xsoft was amazing to me. The xsoft's in general are amazing.

My accuracy/consistency plummets from using anything that's not an xsoft.
Thank for this video! Would really like to see you review the EspTiger Wuxiang 2 with this. Both of them seem similar with some slight differences. Would be dope if you could do that. Great work Boardzy!
I ordered this mousepad and some lethal gaming gear glass skates a few days ago and they should be arriving soon, I think i might end up in smoove city soon.
@@Fps1tapz I honestly smooved too much if I were to use glass skates on it. It was a great pad with tons of speed but I realized that one of the main advantages it has is texture and with glass you cant seem to feel it that much. Another thing is with glass feet you might feel some imperfections and the base can be inconsistent in the beginning with it not laying flat. If it is not flat it can feel really scratchy. I now am rocking the vancer ace although it has some qc problems and miss the texture the ice has.
Can we get some more mouse feet vids like the sapphire skates 2.0, cubic zirconium skates and the infinity mice sapphire skates? So many sapphire skates out lately i would like to see a comparison
@@boardzy theyre made by sapphire skates as well its supposed to be slower than the ruby sapphires and they have the flex skates made of moissanite but those are probably not in most peoples budget
I can't believe he is giving the mpc-450 the seal of approval, when the vancer ice is so much better. You have nearly same speed, still better control and the most important thing is 100x more comfort
@@lev9432 the mpc 450 had 21g resistane and the vancer 22g tho. Not a big deal. But at larger movements the vancer felt a bit faster but no way i can mess wide movements
@@dennsoll Ohh got it tysm, I was wondering if vancer would be worth getting since I was looking for a fast pad but already have the mpc, may I ask where you saw this info or where I can compare resistance for other pads? Thanks man
Wuxiang 2 comparison or nah? Also, any word from Vancer about the Joker version? I've only seen the Joker Ice on Euphrao's video so far. Not that i can find the Ice on the EU market whatsoever. As for durability, there is this reviewer "NMZ" from Thailand i believe. His Vancer Ice have an actual dead spot on the pad after just 2 weeks, sad. I can't understand sh&t but he does a good job at showing it.
I have been using a glorious ice for about 2 and 1/2 months but like you said it has consistency issues. I think I might get this pad because I think it might be similar. Thanks : )
I think Corepads PTFE feet on both surfaces is sufficient. I own, the Skypad, Vancer, and TJ Exclusive pad. Glass skates are great for speed but at the expense of control plus you wouldn't want to use glass on glass or porcelain for that matter
Totally disagree that sapphire skates and the ICE make my aim worse. As an old school Quaker from the early early days having a mouse that feels like there's practically ZERO friction makes movement and flicking feel SO SO much better and my accuracy has very noticably increased due to having so much more control. That's with 1600 DPI and 3.2 in game sens for QW, 3.2 for QL and 3.0 in QC.
yo i want a mousepad thats fast af and no resistance and so my aim isnt slowed down by the stopping power of the mouse pad. i use glass mouse skates on my gpxs and ive used the artisan hein, zowie gtfx, razer strider, and lgg mercury and they all have the problem of getting humidity spots that slow down my aim when i go over them and the glass skates smooths down the textures in the pad which makes it slower. so do u think the vancer ice is the pad that'll alleviate my problems?
@@Tricendo I've been using the Vancer pad with sapphire mouse skates for 2 months now and it still feels like my mouse is practically floating across my desk.
will you ever do nootropic reviews? i can see your using some would be very interesting to hear your opinion on them and how they effect you in game could open up a whole new area of content nootropics tier lists? idk would be interesting
2 weeks, is what mine lasted... i emailed the company to get a replacement cant wait to see what they gonna reply. tested with 6 different mice, the middle around 2x4 inches is badly tracking... cutting in slow movement, so basicly its a useless mouse pad by now... i hope i just had a bad one...for 13 days straight the pad been flawless, and started to act funky during a game on the 14 days... been trying mice and different feet, and LOD settings to make sure its wasnt a probleme on my hardware , but after testing with also 3 other different brand mousepad, this is definitely a vancer ice mouse pad issue
yes glass skates will totally ruin the pad. i made that mistake already and it lost all speed and smoothness literally in 2 days. I got a new pad and went back to corepads ptfe skates, and this pad is perfect for months and months
I was wondering if you got your hands on a Fantech Aria XD7 or plan to get one and do a review for it? It would be much appreciated because I can't decide if I want to get it or the Pulsar X2 Mini

Gave my girlfriend my white shidenkai because she wanted a white mousepad for her setup, but now that its kinda wearing down and the little beads are consistently coming off, might have to check this one out if they release a white one
It's honestly pretty smooth on the skin, there is just a little bit of texture to it but it's not abrasive at all. It almost feels like a softer holographic sticker if you can picture that on your skin
Man wtf, I'm totally new into this thing of mouse and mousepads and I didn't know there existed something like glass skates for a mouse XD It is something you buy as a separate thing or it comes with the mouse?

This is definitely the most fun mousepad I've tried.
Shidenkai is coming back in a new form. The RM series is reviving it.

No. Health hazard as the glass coating wearing off was a fine dust causing respiratory issues.
