All of these pads are excellent. I personally love Skypad and will recommend it into the foreseeable future so long as they continue making quality a top priority. Which, they do.
I get its Razer and not some niche cool brand you can speak on, but I've tried 3 of these pads on your list and find it to be the best of all of them. nice smooth glide, good texture for the arm and doesn't make the pad to slippy. It's slightly smaller than the others for the most part but a good enough size and easy to get.
yeah everyone tells me the atlas is the best glass pad. im just not a glass pad user like i am a cloth pad so ive never thought twice about it 😅 Ill def have to pick one up sooner than later.
I had the opposite experience with the SkyPAD and the Superglide, I much preferred the SkyPAD to the Superglide - and the Superglide is the only pad I've sold. I think you'll like the Atlas.
I have the dark chaos. Something I really like about it is how you just glide at such a consistently fast but controlled speed. It feels like my kin but much faster sometimes if that makes sense. They both. Glide at a consistent speed. I would have liked to see the OG cerapad on here, because I love it as a balanced speed pad , too. My 3.0 in only really use for tracking.
Also, just a different opinion on the Cerapad-KIN Durability. I Have had the V2 Cerapad-KIN and there is no flaking on mine, and I use it daily. They do not sell V1 pads anymore. So, what you're experiencing I'm pretty sure is from V1 Cerapad. Most people that state they have issues on reddit, or discord have a V1 pad. And TJ Exclusives replace all V1 pads free. Best Hardpad hands down.
The Razer atlas’s is just like the superglide but a bit slower,quiet,and more control. The superglide and atlas are the most accessible pads because you can just go to your local microcenter. But great vid might look into pad smith
the Atlas is the best of all worlds imo. I've only tried the empress, superglide, and skypad tho. But I found the razer had a perfect amount of speed and feel.
If you want the smoothest glass. I will always recommend the Atlas. The superglide is alright for me. But the skypad does feel better and less sticky. The empress is an amazing pad and Padsmith is releasing a speed pad!
Superglide and others do feel "smoother" than a Skypad, like I notice dust less on them. But pure speed Skypad still. 1 note on the Cerapad I've owned mine like 9 months and daily driving it, I got some tiny edge flaking but I think that's how it came? Surface wise it feels and perform exactly as it always did. And overall it's not a coating I see coming off anytime soon. Just to provide some different perspective for anyone looking
yeah the surface is fine, i think i worded it REALLY poorly. still not my favorite but there is nothing competing with the sizing and performance it offers.
Unfortunately my superglide has slowed down a lot. It has a dead spot in the middle, and it stops any time I try to glide test over it. The rest is still fast, similar to the 4.0 That spot is muddy as fuck tho. Shame even glass can wear down like that
wow, how many hours do you think you putted on the pad? do you think that there a spot because you specifically gilde your mouse at that spot alot more than the rest of the pad?
Hey! I ordered a project arctica v2 but havent heard anything abt when it would ship. No idea but their site is so weird. Do u have any info on when it would ship? They have no discord or presence online either
Hey, I wanted to ask how exactly the Wraith control differs from the Arctica? Because unfortunately I have no chance of getting the Arctica unless I pay 50€ shipping. Thanks in advance
@@stubbyfps Thanks for the quick answer, where would you classify the two pads speed wise next to cloth pads? And another question do you personally still prefer cloth mousepads? or do you main Control glass pads?
Hey! After this vid i got interested in the project arctica and its wild to me how weird their website n marketing is…which would be none. They apparently have a v2 thats out? Or in preorder and the design looks cool but any idea if its also controlled or a new surface? Also it shows dimensions as 500x500 on their site for both v1 and v2. Are they lying or have they changed their sizing. So weird but it looks sketch. Can i get ur input. Theres only 4 V1s on lgg left and ill get one of those over the v2 only cuz the website looks off and i trust lgg even tho id prefer the art and larger size.
Yeah I don’t know much about the new pad at all, their whole company is kinda odd (twitter got hacked from crypto and deleted) I know @shyam_Ow On twitter had the v2 , I’d say to reach out to him since he would have better knowledge than meZ
@@stubbyfps i was gonna say why r the tweets missing. They did reply to me and seem genuine so ima order a v2 myself thanks to you. One last question tho, ik you cant really use any glass pads without a sleeve but hows the stick on the arctica? For me the empress is absolutely perfect sleeveless. Is it similar or is sleeve a must for arctica?
I saw a lot of people complaining about it but honestly when I got minę I really dont mind it, I really have to use a lot of force to move it around on my desk
@@czerwonek1121 yeah I been on skypad for a year now and it doesn’t bother me it’s just people seen it but I feel like the back can be improved but either way still a solid 10/10
Great video man! I only have the superglide, and yes i would have to agree that the surface is just nice and smooth. Its a really nice pad overall, also depending on what skates you use. If you want speed, normal obsidian dots are good and if you want some more control and not sacrifice a lot of speed, skypad/obsidian pros dots. I run both, depending on how im feeling with my aim.
unfortunately neither empress, gamesense nor la onda are available. is pulsar superglide with obsidians similar or would you wait for one of them to become available again? @@stubbyfps
WARNING!!1
Loud music, forgot to turn down.
BRO THE OUTRO, MY EARS ARE BLEEDING 😭
you're lucky issa banger
All of these pads are excellent. I personally love Skypad and will recommend it into the foreseeable future so long as they continue making quality a top priority. Which, they do.
Nice round up. For me, there is only one choice that beats the rest by far - GLAZE!
But it's nice that there are plenty of options for everyone.
def a really good pad, just couldnt pick it over the empress.
empress is just such a good glass surface.
@@stubbyfps The size of the empress isnt cutting it for me :D 600x500 on the glaze is just insane.
Love the print on the glaz. Arctia has the best just a nice clear pad, might get that and put a vinyl print on the bottom

@@stubbyfps ah gotcha and totally fair 👊
Are there any aftermarket skates you recommend for running the GPW on the Empress?
obsidians all day
I just don’t know if it’s worth upgrading to the new skypad from the superglide, or if I should just get a more controlled experience
Thanks sfor the video, but I have a question How much slower/faster is the Cerapad Kin compared to the Arctica/Glaze? You would help me very much
Thanks for the in depth video! Between the Project Artica and Wraith Control, which would you say is slower?
Arctica all day
Thanks for the video, but I have a question How much slower/faster is the Cerapad Kin compared to the Arctica/Glaze? You would help me very much
Can't wait for the Kanami Yuna 🔥
arctica would make for a goated productivity pad.
what’s the best control glass pad? like i just want a slow glass pad
Unfortunately my superglide has slowed down a lot.
It has a dead spot in the middle, and it stops any time I try to glide test over it.
The rest is still fast, similar to the 4.0

sadly not, i know little to nothing about the v2 sadly
@@stubbyfps hopefully its a real product haha their website is so weird
Is your desk flat? the empress looks to be bending a lot in this video?
not at all, spent 2 years bent in the middle.
got new desk legs but its so warped now that its never gonna get fixed.
@@stubbyfps bro had me pressing on my empress when I saw his bending lmfao
Hey, I wanted to ask how exactly the Wraith control differs from the Arctica? Because unfortunately I have no chance of getting the Arctica unless I pay 50€ shipping. Thanks in advance
the micro texture and it being slower.
I really like the arctica but paying $60+50 is not viable for a LOT of regions.
@@stubbyfps Thanks for the quick answer, where would you classify the two pads speed wise next to cloth pads?
And another question do you personally still prefer cloth mousepads? or do you main Control glass pads?

@@I3asyl sleeve is def a must
The v1 was very prone to sweat.
@@stubbyfps and i assume thats the same for the wraith control?
I got a skypad and been locked in sense but only complaint I have is the gripping under the mousepad
I saw a lot of people complaining about it but honestly when I got minę I really dont mind it, I really have to use a lot of force to move it around on my desk
@@czerwonek1121 yeah I been on skypad for a year now and it doesn’t bother me it’s just people seen it but I feel like the back can be improved but either way still a solid 10/10
Empress sold out? What’s similar to it?
it will restock again, but the glaze (also sold out) and gamesense sonar are similar
Great video man! I only have the superglide, and yes i would have to agree that the surface is just nice and smooth. Its a really nice pad overall, also depending on what skates you use.

we all know the ikea glass mousepad solos
does this kind of mousepad wears down overtime?
i havent seen it happen with my use
I miss custom Skypads does anyone make customs anymore
Kazemi all the way.
superglide still my number 1
Dark chaos 🔥
sell me your wraith control 😔
WHAT THE FUCK MAN, WHAT IS THAT INTRO MUSIC
I’m sorry
Or you’re welcome?
Not sure how you mean this 😭
@@stubbyfps i don't appreciate the ear rape but I guess it felt good deep down😂
🫶🏽
First :3🎉
whats the best balanced glass mousepad alternative if u dont like how the empress looks like? @stubby
gamesense sonar is the same but black
la onda glaze is the same but with art
unfortunately neither empress, gamesense nor la onda are available. is pulsar superglide with obsidians similar or would you wait for one of them to become available again? @@stubbyfps
best for me: Empress + M4 🤍
