A mouse pad is not just a pad.
This is the most important device that determines the accuracy of your aim.
The recently popular “glass pad (hard)” and the traditional “cloth pad (soft)”.
Understand the characteristics of each and choose the one that suits your aim style.
Glass pad (SkyPAD, Superglide, etc.)
Features:Friction is extremely low and it slides like ice.
Suitable for:Games that require a tracking aim, such as Apex or Overwatch.
Advantages:Not affected by moisture. Can be used semi-permanently without deterioration.
Disadvantages:Difficult to stop. Sticky due to sweaty hands (arm cover required). Winter is cold.
Cloth pad (Artisan, Logitech, SteelSeries)
Characteristics:It has just the right amount of friction and stops exactly where you want it to stop.
Suitable for:Games such as Valorant and CS2 that require an instant (flick) aim to aim at the head and stop.
Advantages:Easy to control. Feels good on the skin.
Disadvantages:It is sensitive to moisture, making it slippery on rainy days. The surface wears out, so you will need to replace it every few months.
Conclusion: Beginners should start with “cloth”
The glass pad is like a car with full throttle and no brakes.
First, learn the basics of mouse operation with a cloth pad (QcK, G640, etc.), and if you want more speed, try using a glass or hybrid type.
