I had that exact same issue trying to remove the jade skates. The adhesive separates from the dot and stays on the mouse. Unfortunate! Glad to hear the obsidians are reusable. Thanks for the detailed review!
Im thinking of switching the stock skates of my lamzu maya into the obsidian ones but im really torn cause i dont want to waste the stock skates. Thanks for the video, hope to see the comparison between stock/pre cut skates vs dots soon
i have the obsidians but not the dot skates on my maya and the are great but i would say the stock ones are as good as the obsidians in terms of speed i play on a skypad btw
Hey! So Lamzu skates are odd because of their design. Between the stocks and the pre-cut Obsidian set I'd say the Obsidians will probably be more controlled, but keep in mind you can always remove the sensor ring if the skates are too slow for you. The Obisidians will definitely have a longer life than the stocks will though.
do you think obsidians on a lamzu atlantis mini pro with an artisan hien will work well for fortnite? i need control and good tracking but also speed to edit fast.
Hey! If you're going for a controlled experience and you have a light grip you can use them. But if you have a heavy grip you might run into issues where the mouse will bottom out as the pad is semi-soft. I has issues with my mouse bottoming out as I have a very heavy grip, so I ended up using donut versions of both the Jade and Obsidian dots on the GSRII and they worked perfectly!
Which do you recommened? I have a basic clothpad and I usually play tactical FPS games I have a tiger ice v1 as my skates and I'm torn between should I go faster skates that is similar to the ice or should I go the controlled skates since I play tactical fps. Thank you for the awesome review man your input is highly appreciated 🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
Could you make a video, comparing the different mouspad options that X-Raypad offers? It's not very intuitive to navigate their products and know what the differences are. A video covering this would be great!
Hey! I've been wanting to try out X-RayPad's lineup but sadly they're VERY expense to get into Canada so I doubt I'll be able to look at their full-lineup anytime soon sadly.
Hey! yeah there's a pretty big difference, from what I can tell the 2 dots = 1 donut skate. I'm still testing the donuts and I'll have a video about them out in a couple weeks but there is a big difference for sure.
I'd avoid the ICE dots as the adhesive on em suck, I was only able to use like 15 of them out of the whole set I bought. Best to stick with the jade Air dots as they have better performance as well as significantly better reusability.
Which would you choose to main on NPET Speed M? I've recently tried Jade's on the Speed M and I find there is so much nicer feedback on the skates on this pad. It's also faster and buttery.
Hi, this is my first time researching on Mouse Skates, I'm contemplating whether to upgrade from my Stock Skates My question is, which of these Skates have more "Control" on a "Cloth Control Pad"? Stock "Not 100%" PTFE Full Skates, or the Obsidian Dots? My preference is more on Control
Hey! So 100% PTFE stocks will be the fastest (jades) and hardened or micro-textured PTFE (Obsidians) will be the slowest. You can also try the donut versions of the Jade/Obsidians as they're larger and have more control than the dot versions. I covered the donuts in this video: ruclips.net/video/Hdomx5HfN-s/видео.htmlsi=bmaEVO93m4EdLvJW Hope that helps!
Good afternoon! Tell me your opinion - is obsidian suitable for basic mousepad or more for glass? There are more than 80% reviews on Aliexpress about using them with a glass mat…
Hey! They're the most universal skates I've tried so far, I use them on fabric pads all the time and they preform amazingly well (and they work great on glass)!
Which skates would be better for a cloth (linen-like) mouse pad? I saw a post about these mouse skates that the obsidian skates do better on glass pads.
Hey! Either work perfectly fine, the Jade's are good for all fabric pads & the obsidians are good for both fabric & glass pads. The only difference between them is the Jade's will be faster & the Obsidians will be more controlled!
The obsidians won’t damage glass but they do have a lot of audio feedback, I’d recommend looking into the Obsidian Pros as those are specifically designed for glass pads! I did an unboxing of them a few weeks ago and I’ll have a full review coming out in a couple weeks or so!
basically if I only use cloth pads then jades are the way to go? Not really a fan of glass pads and the only other one that'd wear them down more I guess are rougher pads like the hien but that's still cloth. I think aside from hard pads maybe the shidenkai would wear jades down faster but feels like jades are mostly the move
I use both the Jades/Obsidians on cloth pads. The jades wear as fast as shandard PTFE skates so you can use them on pretty much whatever you want (aside from glass, ceramic) and they'll be fine!
Really comes down to personal preference, if you want more control go for the Obsididians, if your want more speed go for the jades. There isn't really a "best" skate for a particular pad it's all personal preference.
I tested the Ice Skates v2, obsidian and obsidian pro, tj exclusives, all have higher static friction on my glass mouse pad compared to the full-width (not dots) corepad skates, LOL. I think I'll try a few more dot skates but so far, it is just not my thing.
Just ordered these a few days ago. Can't wait!
Goated skates, the donut versions are also great!

Very good review. Please continue reviewing!

great video, since you used different pads on the video. Do you think Obsidians will work well in GSR 2 ?

Jades 100%! The obsidians are OK but the jades felt best for me
@@mel0nFPS I echo the same sentiment as well after switching to Jade's. The granular feedback on the Jade's is unmatched! Thanks for the reply.

Hey Melon, can i use obsidian glides for xraypad aqua control 2?
Yup! You can use the Obsidians on everything but resin pads!
@@mel0nFPS thanks
Hi, What is the difference between glue remover and alcohol?
Hey Melon, do you tend to leave your precut sensor skate on your mice when using dot skates? Thanks!
It's advisable to always remove them, I do. But you can leave them on if you're concerned about the mouse being unbalanced.
I almost always remove the ring skate, you can leave it on but it's better to remove it.
@@mel0nFPS thanks for the reply. I appreciate the detailed reviews. Recently found your stuff and have been diving in. Thanks again!

Which one better for cordura pad? And does these skates r faster than tiger ice?
Either skate will work! The jades are on par with the Tiger Ice V2's I have, the obsdians will be slower and much more controlled.
which skates did you go with? im looking for suggestions for my cordura pad :)
combine them with a glorious air and it becomes even more game changing
If I could get my hands on an air I would 😭
very in depth :)
Will the obsidian dots be good with the razer glass pad? A little worried that the harder ptfe might damage the coating

I had exactly the same experience in terms of reusability
Dots.... Jade xray or Tiger Ice v2 Dots or Corepads? Who ia better?
Sadly I’ve only used the X-RayPad skates, been meaning to check out other dots on the market I just haven’t gotten my hands on any yet
basically if I only use cloth pads then jades are the way to go?

i have a new vxe r1. do you recommend to change to obsidian immediately?
If the stock skates feel comfortable you can use them no need to immediately swap unless you prefer the feeling of the Obsidians!
For mpc450 mousepad which is a cordura do you recommend jade or obsidian?
Really comes down to personal preference, if you want more control go for the Obsididians, if your want more speed go for the jades. There isn't really a "best" skate for a particular pad it's all personal preference.

Will the obsidian glide nicly on a speed pad?
Absolutely! Just a slower glide due to the control nature but still smooth!
I really wanna buy them but shipping to EU is a big risk
You can try getting them from LGG's EU site! Not sure if maxgaming or any other EU retailer carries them but you can always check there!
@@mel0nFPS Ty for the information safed me right now XD
I got the jade Skates and the friction is Not good but its fast i dont Like it my dav3 Stock Skates has Lower friction and its faster
Did you get stock-clones or dots?
@@mel0nFPS dots
I tested the Ice Skates v2, obsidian and obsidian pro, tj exclusives, all have higher static friction on my glass mouse pad compared to the full-width (not dots) corepad skates, LOL. I think I'll try a few more dot skates but so far, it is just not my thing.
