The cordura at the start got me really bad. I hate those sort of scratchy sounds. The glass was almost soothing for me, like someone running a knife along a whetstone.
I got the Aqua Control + in black because of this video and it is miles different than the regular cheap branded one I had. My mouse feels almost weightless now. I even put in the weights for it to see how it would feel and even then way more speed. The texture is also kind of a life send. I have cats that will sleep on it when Im not home. The mouspad doesn't let cat hair stick to it like my old one so I can just take a cloth and all good.
@@diags_1109 why were you surprised? Did you not like the pad? What is a speed issue, quality issue, or a feel issue? If it was a speed issue then I’d recommend you just buy another pad but I don’t think the Otsu can be beat on quality or feel
I'd love to see you get into static friction on these mice and pads. Simple board with an angle that increases, and then throw some maths at it. BOOM we can compare both mice on a single pad and a mouse on multiple pads to compare ease of motion.
I'm so glad you included the Aqua Control+ from X-Raypad. I ordered it two months ago. I haven't built my PC yet, so I cannot speak to its gaming performance, but I love the fabric. The default design (purple and orange) is really awesome looking too. Also by default, it has a coating that makes it slicker so it becomes a fast pad, but still with some control elements.
@@IskalimHK right, need me to send you a screenshot of my Amazon searches? Why on earth would I be so desperate for likes that I would fake an interest in MOUSE PADS of all things.
First off just wanna say great video. And personally i have seen great improvement lol. I have a question regarding the Aqua Control +. So would getting the one with a custom picture on it over the black and white, would that cauze any difference in the feel of the pad? Thanks man! And hope you can get back to me along worth keeping up the good work!
Hey! So from my knowledge, the plain black and white ones are more durable but I don’t believe it changes the feel. I know other reviewers have pointed this out but I can’t recall which videos exactly, hope this sort of helped
I thought I would be going with the number 1 slot no matter what, but I just ordered the Glorious Ice Pad. Here's to hoping it's exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks, Frank. I hope you get a kickback when I used your links in the description.
@@idkwhatname3133 Haven’t heard of the MPC 450 but I’ll give it a look. I only mentioned the Aqua+ due to it being the best mousepad for your price range. The artisan is expensive and for me personally I wouldn’t drop over $50 on a mouse pad lmao but that’s just me.
@@idkwhatname3133 Please update me haha, I've been using an amazon branded mousepad and I'm waiting for my control+ to come. I've managed to get to Immortal 1 in Valorant. Using a GproW.
I passed on the glorious ice just because Ive read so many reviews of how quickly it loses its glide. Now watching this review, I kinda want to try it, but its out of stock on amazon.
As a friendly recommendation I would highly recommend the Maingear Assist XL mouse pad for around $16. Don't let the price fool you - this thing is silky smooth
Super late reply, but agree. Best "cheap" pad I've ever used. Spent much more before and gotten much less. Excellent, excellent pad. Actually bought a second one for different color schemes.
1 recommendation I have Frank, for your videos: When doing a top 5/top 10/ comparison type videos, adding chapter markers to the video would be super duper useful! *Pee is stored in the balls*
Instructions unclear, peepee stuck in the mousepad. I don't know how you can not love this guy's videos, so well made, so much attention to detail, such a high quality. You're hands down my favourite tech RUclipsr! Love your work, keep it up!
How much does a good mouse pad rly matter? I have a pretty cheap one (like $10) and it works good for what it’s supposed to be, but I’ve never rly used a high quality one and Idek what a good one would do differently?
"pee is stored in the balls" (I hate this meme) Good vid, thanks for all the details. I loved the way you edited in the info on to the mousepads. It felt like a video game UI.
Im really interested in the ice pad but I am definitely a larger full desk mouse pad kinda guy so Im extremely exited/hoping for a larger desk ice pad Pee is stored in the balls

It helps actually clean the pad and actually retains the day 1 glide
