@@BLAKGRIP this 😎 superglide is great don't get me wrong but I just love the KIN more (there is spot on the video where I bring up the superglide to hear more
I mained a kin for 6 Mo Love it might go Back. It is Better than the Skypad imo. I use a Raiden X-Soft Currently. But sill Have The Kin Close By. Love you takes on Pads Keep up the Great work.
Jacob here owner and creator of the Cerapad. Thank you so much for for the amazing review. You went above and beyond to go over every detail. If any one has any questions for me drop them here and I'll respond asap.
Yo Jacob, I just want to say that you have great customer service. I'm using the lightweight mod on my DAV3. I wonder what updates you got for the KIN.
Yo, I bought a Cerapad in December 2022, its already starting to have issues, sent you guys an email over 24 hours ago and still no response. Is this it?
Ever since using the Skypad 2.0 I fell in love with Hard pads, but after owning every single one I found that my aim was much worse than just using Artisans, Spyre or LGG pads. I bought the small Kin in their clearance sale, since I had no hopes for this pad after trying the original one and finding it worse than the S3.0 or Atlas, but I fell in love with it and performed even better than on cloth, so I recently bought the Iridium size in blue and cant wait for it to arrive! My favorite pad ever. Great review as always ❤.
@@mir4cle696 Quite a bit more controlled, I'd say the 2.0 is on the MPC 450-Artisan Raiden Mid range, with a little bit lower Static. The Kin is on the Artisan Zero-LGG Venus range, but again, with a lower static friction.
I have seen glass mouse pads, glass mouse feet, ceramic mousepads and ceramic mouse feet but just recently i saw some sapphire mouse feet, do you think we will see a sapphire mousepad lol
Finally a review of the new version of the KIN (was desperately looking for), now i just need a review of ghostglides mouse skates (dots version) to see if it's the smoothiest / durable combo with a bit of control, i prefer bigger skates design but unfortunately ghostglides haven't made any for the Xm2w yet. So to increase the contact surface i plan to put all the dots but i don't know if it's a good idea (and it's a bit expensive too). What do you think about it ? Great review
Glad it could help ☺️ and ya I want to try the dot version of Ghostglides skates, hopefully soon. But ya you can put as many as you want with dots, just space em evenly
@@UpgradeLemonade Thanks, i will try them on my XM2we with my AC II Sakura and I hope this version of the KIN will appear soon on maxgaming. Are Ghostglides skates hard to find in the US ? In Europe with maxgaming you can find them very easily. I hope you can get them soon, can't wait to see your review. I'm very interested in these skates since the review of another reviewer that I appreciate a lot and since I try to find a few review but it's complicated since the brand is new on the market... and the few reviews I found are only for logitech mices version of these skates... Did you tried this version on the Cerapad KIN ? How they feels ?
Hello Lemonade, thank you for the review. I’ve been maining a Skypad 2.0 for a while now. I love the speed of it and don’t want anything faster. That’s why I haven’t upgraded to a 3.0. Would you say the Cerapad kin is faster or slower than the 2.0?
Hey Lemon. Really great review of the Kin. Im really intrigued to try one. Currently using the mpc450 playing apex legends. Tracking is great on it but it is quite fast. Would the Kin be a better option and still be good for that low friction tracking feel? Like having a more consistent cloth pad that has lower friction but still feels controlled?
Yeah it would provide you a nice level of control while still feeling fast enough for many titles. Like I said its probably 20-30% slower than Skypad/Superglide so youll still get the consistency of a hard surface, fast speed and nice control.
some other reviewer tested it and found out it had massive problems with different sensors, resulting in tracking issues(not obvious stuff, but with quite few mice, you wouldn't be able to do a 360 and land on the same dot with the same distance traveled).
Oh no, so now I can’t play that game where I do 360s and land on the same dot with the same distance travelled? Based off one pad some guy tested? Deal breaker.
@@jaymz8222 that also means every flick of the same distance on a normal pad is slightly off on the cerapad. it's like you have sens randomizer on in aimlabs, but not as drastic. but you probably already own the pad and try to defend your purchase you made because your favorite pad reviewer didn't apply some scientific testing or you trying to downplay the results, which are obviously dogshit? or are you trying to shoot the messenger now? i just tried to provide additional information 💁
7:12 uh i think i might have missed a part but, i don’t like the idea of wearing sleeves and although CeraPad states “that”, how does it feel on your arm?
My office is usually always warmmmm and I'm a sweatier gamer I guess lol. It's not something I'd say I'd game for long hours comfortably but I can handle it without a sleeve longer than Skypad or Pulsars pad .
Hey Lemonade, I'm going to pick one up and review this too. Before I do, do you happen to know if I buy any colour, it'll be the latest model/coating? Obvs planning to use your code! I know you said they're going to upgrade all colours, but I'm not sure when?! is that in place now? I'll contact support 😅
I know the white and red have it I'm not sure if the other colors got updated. I'd contact their support or on Twitter just @ them and see if other colors apply. You can mention my review. In terms of their other updates I haven't heard anything concrete yet , maybe next few months ?
hey zed, sorry honestly Ive never used pincer grip so hard to say... from looking at a few examples online seems like folks like mice with thinner/narrower tapers on the rear. so like the g303 shroud or the fantech aria as examples. and I guess the x2 mini could work decently since its not very wide to begin with
I appreciate the "non-scientific" glide test haha, but at 6:19 you really hurled that mouse way harder on the kin than you did on the follow ups with the other pads. It looks like you used almost twice the force. My metallic kin easily has 40+% more control than the superglide, especially on static friction.
I actually left in two different glides I did with the kin they were back to back in the video, but ya trying to nail down exact placement and force each time wasn't going to be spot on. More just a demonstration of general glide. interesting you found it to be over 40% more control to a superglide tho! What mouse /skates and grips style were you using ?
@@UpgradeLemonade superlight with core pads (previously tiger ice and similar results here). And yeah I know I just found it funny more than anything, the review was really good and I’m always here to give you a hard time
@@xblur17 no no haha it's fair tho! of course quantifying these things can be tricky as well. I spent most of my time with the X2 mini and fingertip so it'll be a bit different. What are you thoughts tho using it in games like Apex, OW or CoD ?
@@ApparentlyPeter I really like the 405x405 size in the video "Platinum" as they call it. Gives you good vertical and horizontal room. But if you play on a lower sens like 55-60cm + maybe the iridium will feel more comfortable for horizontal space. Really just depends on how your playstyle is but both sizes are nice If you grab it use my code to save 10% at least
Does anyone elses pad have a area with more friction? (Where the mouse most often are used) im i high sens player and it kinda throws me off. I keep it clean an it isnt damaged.

Would you recommend this over the Pulsar Superglide, I was thinking getting one or the other so just asking for your opinion.

much love homie 😎
all the color choices look amazing imo

What mouse feet felt the best overall for you?
Tiger Ice or Corepad Air felt more frictionless, my BTL skates felt a little smoother and slightly more control
@@UpgradeLemonade what about regular corepads did they feel better than those?
@@domy6503 I dont have a pair of regular corepads on one of the mice in the office tbh.... sorry :/

Haha maybeee
When after breaking in the pad it still doesn’t glide the same as yours could it need some more breaking on?
Just depends on total use and play style but if it's not to your liking after like 10-12 days max then id reach out to TJX to swap it/return ut
