Nice review boardzy. Very useful when there is concrete feedbacks about the glide feeling, like if there is feedback on the mouse skates and if it turns the aim shaky or not, instead of just saying the mousepad is fast or slow.
For those who want the black aqua control 2: the stitches are in the same height as the surface. I got mine a few days ago and I can confirm this, it's almost artisan stitches!
Received this pad today, this review was the main driving force and I am 100% happy to report, its fantastic for its price. Its surprisingly close to my Zero (broke in) in feel but obv inferior in quality , but for the price, this pad is amazing.
There was not enough comparison with other mousepads. How does this mouse pad perform in comparison with Artisan Zero, Artisan Hayate Otsu, LGG Venus, LGG Saturn or maybe Artisan Hien and his analogs if AC2 is on faster side?
@@yiezhenglim love it. I felt like the glide stayed the same for a long time, cleaning does restore it back to normal too, not that it changed much. For the price I think it’s basically perfect.
@ still using it. Haven’t used anything else. I’m using a lamzu Atlantis mini 4k with X-ray pad obsidian skates. I mostly play hunt, rivals, ow, and the finals. The pad is barely showing signs of wear and I can’t feel any worn spots or differences between the left or right side (I have the extended).
This is clearly the greatest pad of all time. Better than every single Artisan. Even if all the Artisan pads fucked in a massive mousepad orgy and birthed the mousepad Messiah, this would still be better because it has a pretty picture.
Actually AC2 is exactly the old AC+ black, they used to have rougher surface on black and finer surface on white and others. And now they decided to separate two surfaces into two model names
@@boardzy and now they are separating the 2 surfaces, rough surface > AC2, finer surface remain AC+, and they released new AC+ black with the fine surface
So it’s just a new colorway to the AC2/AC+black ? Xraypad made the names confusing. The AC2 is the AC+ black but renamed, then everything else is AC+ ? Edit: the better option is still the AC2/AC+B right?
If anyone is looking to buy one, I used old aqua control + for a while, switched to infinity. I miss the stopping power a lot. This new AQ2 is literally the perfect stopping power but with a tinge more speed
@@THEREDDOTHACKz If you're going for speed with low stopping power go for the Odin Infinity. If you want a med-high of speed but good stopping power go for AQ2. Then obviously, a medium speed, great stopping power pad, go for AQ+. I prefer AQ2, feels nice and the perfect stopping power to me, I highly recommend.
That small $30 mouse really did end up becoming one of the best shapes I've ever used. Just wish that it was a tad bigger and wireless while keeping the same weight.
@@aidenfrost10 I moved from the the viper mini to the viper ultimate and the weight different is barely even noticeable since it is wireless and if u get better skates it’s worth it in my opinion my aim has improved after 2 days of using it

hey boardzy, i have the updated 4mm black aqua control plus and the improvements within the stitches and the quality are the same as with the aqua control 2. So I think the plus deserves the seal, too. PS: i have the old plus the new and i have the 2.
@@enronko Oh ok nice. I literally sat down for like 3 hours watching different Comparisons and ended up getting myself the complete Black Version of the (Aqua Control 2).

I have had the xraypad aqua control plus for over a year and I am very happy with it. I have the ROB version. I don't know if there is a difference with the normal version.
any plans for a glide 38 review? Got one a couple months ago and havent looked back. Been debating trying to pick up the new skypad when it comes out but this pad just works so well for me
@Dread soniX glide 38 still doing pretty good. Pretty solid at aiming. Also have a glorious ice, artisan hein, and my classic steelseries qck heavy. I just enjoy using different pads, why the hate?
Mr Boardzy, regarding your point on the Orachi V2, does that mean the Aqua Plus would be a better pair with the OV2 than this Aqua 2? I just got the Orachi based on your review, and considering the Aqua 2, Aqua Plus, and Razer Strider currently.
@@Smcro awua control 2 which I liked a lot, however I dont use that or the Orachi anymore. I got a slightly used Hien medium on ebay and that is my fave mousemat so far, and I ended up using either Xtrfy m42 and Coolermaster Mm720. I do think the Aqua control 2 was damn close with similar feeling surface grain though and wouldn't hesitate to reccomend it.
I just put my mousepad off the corner of my desk by the width of the stitching x2, so when using wrist aim on edge my wrist dont rub on it and when i flick downwards the feet dont catch on it (cough mpc450)
hi guys i have a question, my desk is 80x40 inches (length x width) and im going to buy the xl which is 450x400. So my question is, in mousepad measurements what goes first length or width?
hey, im getting my first "gaming" mousepad in a few weeks, would you recommend this or the LGG Venus, Mercury, or even the Razer Strider? I'm aiming for control and speed and play FPS. which of the three is better? sorry for the vague af question, dunno much abt pads
I think this pad is super underrated. great price, 500x500 is perfect size, great glide/control balance, (has way more speed/glide than AC+) It's like a better QcK. great quality, had the black one 18 months washed it once and it still looks and feels mint condition. People seem more interested in gimmicky glass pads and artisans though ( more money = better.. duh)🤣

any difference between the sakura pads and the black one?
