Regarding the arm sleeve thing, I think people that don't have problems are ones that are in dry climates (like me) or they rest their forearm on the edge of their desk so that it is slightly elevated off the mousepad (like me)
been using a skypad 3.0 for like 3 months or so now and im never going back to cloth pads. the pros outweigh the cons for me personally, i have no issue wearing a sleeve because i did that on cloth pads anyways, the cleaning is done in like 10 secs using regular window cleaner and a paper towel and i change mice/skates frequently anyways. hard pads are insanely consistent, easy to clean and basically have infinite durability which is exactly what im looking for in a mousepad. there are also other companies doing glass pads, some even with a ceramic coating for a little more control compared to regular glass pads.
@@idjnqiodiqa4392 Hard disagree. There are some extremely talented aimers that will agree that certain pads are better for certain types of aim. There's a reason skypads are more common among apex players and cloth pads are more common among tac FPS players. Obviously better mouse control is always better, but to say your mousepad doesn't favour a certain type of aim is certainly not true.
@@skullkrusher4418 You can use ANY mouse and mousepad and sensitivity on ANY game, this bullshit info is the reason I got a zero first instead of a raiden when getting into artisan mousepads and I regret it majorly!! Right now I'm on a skypad and play cs and valorant mainly, with high sensitivity, with raw accel. Form your own playstyle, learn mouse control, aim train, see yourself improve.
For anyone actually wondering - Don't buy glass feet as well as the glass mousepad lmfao, it'll just feel scratchy as fuck. Kinda common sense but he mentioned it so figured I'd clear it up even if it is a year later.
Been using the Skypad 3.0 for the past 2 weeks and I love it. The biggest challenge is to unlearn all the compensatory mechanisms you learned while using other pads. Basically any error you make is your own fault. So you have to learn to stay calm and slow down a little. All your movements have to be done with precision. The upside is that the pad never betrays you. What you want to do is what you do given your technical skill is high enough. On a sidenote, I've never had an issue using the pad without a sleeve, but I do keep my room cool and I have a fan blowing directly on me at all times. I feel like moisture / sweat / humidity is the culprit here.
I bought the Skypad in January switching from a Glorious XL pad. it took some time of getting used to, but it's definitely one of the best decisions I've made. The "dirt" on it can get really annoying, and I feel you on that. After the 2 months of using it, flicks finally got more precise too but still does not compare to a clothpad where you can stop the movement by applying pressure with your wrist onto it. Also, there is not that much difference between a new Hein and a Skypad when it come to stopping power but the fact that I mentioned before, applying pressure, does not make it feel that way.
Depending on the mouse grip you use is it possible to consider using your fingers itself for stopping power. I’m using the skypad for like 8 months now and I feel like the benefits are just too good to ignore the disadvantages. Especially with more experience with the pad is it possible to find workarounds for the problems 😄
Hello, first of all congratulations for the video, it helped me a lot, a question about NJ FX HEIN, could you tell me if it is Xsoft or soft, have a nice day.
I’m so glad you got to try a skypad. However, they do tend to eat at your skates so you have to factor that in the price. Other than that, I would highly recommended a Skypad 3.0 to anyone but I also would recommend glass skates if your looking to smooth out your tracking on cloth pads.
@@kyrazen i mean yeah they dont really eat at the skates, but when you put as much pressure on the mouse as i did for apex, they wear down enough to be noticable on other pads.
He says his pad came with an arm sleeve? I can’t seem to find that with anyone else reviews or by Google, anyone else know if it is included in the package?
i have been using it for 6 month aim is smothh as shit thinks a dislike is the sweat and litle dusk on the pad will scratch your mouse feet and will 100% will have to replace your mouse feet because will ruin the smoothness aside from thar is flawless
Btw dont get the supeglides glassfeet. They are completely dogshit and mine worn out in a matter of 2 weeks on a hayate otsu. Wait until they fix their shit
Sounds like a really interesting mousepad that i would defenently give a try but speaking as a student i just cant afford it :/ P.S. keep up the good work always gives me a smile when watching your vids
Haha so if you buy this mouse pad for 120 dollar, then you must not forget the arm sleeve for 25 dollar for more comfort plus PTFE Teflon for added speed for 8,50 (what that even means) so that's 153, 60 dollar...💸💸💸💸 I'll just stick with my trusty xxl mouse pad 😂😂
I used the Glorious 'Ice' pad which is glass-infused and I enjoyed it. Now I have the pulsar superglides on the gpro X with a control cloth pad and it has been great so far. Takes a bit to get comfortable, but that is like anything else when you change up your setup...
My glorious ice felt great for a few months but got super spotty and "grippy" in weird areas. Unusable now. Also, you aren't suppose to wash glass pads like that so it just sits on the shelf now.
I’ve been using skypad‘s for now over 3years i think and in my opinion they are the best hard surface mousepad’s out there and i tested a lot from artisan to logitec razer etc. and they really don’t reach near the skypad in terms of speed, precision and cleaning
hey nate check out lethal gaming gears glass mouse skates i don’t think they are sold out (could be wrong) but i got them for my xm1r and it was the best experience i’ve had with a mouse regarding every aspect since i’ve been playing m&k
I have glass skate and I love how they feel. I wonder if you can do glass on glass or if that would cause issues. Gaming sleeves feel like such a silly concept but I've been using one for a year and having the same texture on my arm when I play everytime is so nice.
I think I know why you hated the arm sleeve, it's precisely because it's too big and it's like playing everything with a long-sleeved sweatshirt whereas if you take one that's your size it will be like a second skin and it really doesn't matter. Very good vidéo btw !
I have been using this mousepad for about a year now. I really love it, but there is one problem that I’ve been facing for a long time. I live in Thailand and the weather here is really hot. When I play games without turning on the ac the mousepad is really smooth but whenever I have the ac on the friction occurs on the pad. Are there any solution to this? Thank you🙏🏻.
And then you live in a place with a bit of humidity and it becomes a mud pad. You need a glove to go with that sleeve in order to be even remotely consistent... Buy glass skates and use you favorite mouse pad, it's waaaaaaay better
Hey bro, I just got the 3.0 and the ONLY issue I have with it is the the sound. It sounds like friction but I’m not 100% convinced I’m experience any. Did you have the same issue at all?
Funny enough when I first started PC gaming a few years ago I was having issues with my sweaty ass arm stinking to my table lol I wear a sleeve everytime I game 🤣 seems like a cool product, I'd try it.
these mouse pads are extremely tough. someone guy tests it out on youtube for how tough it was and he was throwing it on the concrete, slamming it down..it would not break!
Thought about buying one of these but decided to get the glass super glide mouse skates for my viper ultimate since I heard it's a pretty similar experience to a sky pad and normal feet and definitely worth it
so nate. you mean to tell me you didnt hear of no glass mousepads when you been using an Artisan for so long. knowing that Artisan has the Shidenkai which is a well known glass pad
I bought one and found so many benefits but then as you said you cant stop for flicks so i kept missing headshots and was abit shakey on it but tried for three months and just put it in storage to display one day in my office in a frame as something funny
Nice vid nate I already use the glorious hard pad with ceramic feets and as of an arm sleeve I cut a sock and that does it lol um its real nice for tracking and as of the inaccurate flicks my sense is arm breaking low so even if I flick it literally doesn't even jiggle id be interested in trying the glass to see how much smoother compared to the hardpad
Glad you tried out the Skypad. It's amazing
*edit nvm
@@Aimbotpreicc no hes using hyperglides which are ptfe not superglides which are the glass mousefeet
@@noblerust hmm okey. didnt know that i thought they are glass
how is it on long term use. or just some weeks till it might get dusty?
@@surtees__ i have a skypad for 4-5 months now. You just wipe the dust from it and your ready to go.

I've owned every mousepad there is, and ever since I got the skypad 3.0 I can't switch off of it.
9:08 we can type in the description now??
I can’t seem to find the right sensitivity for me. Sometimes it feels great, sometimes it feels too slow, and it almost never feels too fast?
TGD seems to be getting used to it himself
crazy i see this video a couple hours after i bought one
This arm sleeve is probably the nerdiest thing I have ever seen lmao
I tend to smack my mouse against my desk so if I were to get one of these, I would be fucked.
Can u use glass skates with the skypad though ? Or will they scratch it?
Would not reccomend also ptfe on glass pad is buttery smooth already
Hmm reminds me of aiming on a tablet
do NOT use a glass mousepad if your mouse has glass skates!
I could have shot this video, I also have Skypad 3.0 and Artisan Hien Soft and I share your final thoughts 100%
What you recommend more?
I can't be the only one who thought the first part of the video was a chick using the mouse pad right?
can they send me one then Kappa
PC nerds
Cant wait to smack my hand against my mouse pad forgetting it’s glass
Yeah thankfully I switched back to my old pad before I started playing elden ring hahaha
Wait until you flick too hard and accidentally slit your wrist.
@@NateGibsonYT wow, nate replying in comments is pretty rare 😂
Funnily enough for being a glass joypad their damn hard to break
@noname yeah it does
Tldr; Really good for fluid consistent aim on competitive games, annoying to use casually and bad for flicks.
Bad for flicks if you can't control your mouse XD
@@idjnqiodiqa4392 How would swiping randomly work on another mouse pad?
@@idjnqiodiqa4392 sure, glass pads require more control, but to say flicks on friction pads are random swipes is absurd.

Thoughts on 3.0 vs 2.0 ?
@@poonzy7112 3.0 was my entry point so I can't really compare them.

There's a huge difference between a Hien and a Skypad in speed and stopping power please don't spread misinformation
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the glass feet when you get a hold of some, I've been thinking about getting some
Glass feet aren't as consistent as glass pads
Hello, first of all congratulations for the video, it helped me a lot, a question about NJ FX HEIN, could you tell me if it is Xsoft or soft, have a nice day.
Thanks for the review. Appreciate you being open to try it out :)
Tell skypad to come out with glass feet 😏
That moment when you have to use windex to clean your mousepad 😐
I’m so glad you got to try a skypad. However, they do tend to eat at your skates so you have to factor that in the price. Other than that, I would highly recommended a Skypad 3.0 to anyone but I also would recommend glass skates if your looking to smooth out your tracking on cloth pads.
have had skypad 2.0 for months and my mouse skates are still doing great idk what ur on they don't eat your skates at all
@@kyrazen i mean yeah they dont really eat at the skates, but when you put as much pressure on the mouse as i did for apex, they wear down enough to be noticable on other pads.
@@closinbtw ah well ive never used a different pad since i got the skypad
Which mouse feet should I get to replace my scratched up mouse feet from the skypad? It took 1 - 2 weeks to feel and see the scratches
@@WoW-fw8nt people highly recommend corepads but tiger arc I’ve have been really good to me. Took like 2ish months
Glass feet on a glass mousepad seems like a horrifically bad idea. That would end up destroying the feet and the pad. Don't do that guys lol ...
I have a skypad, and honestly the ease of cleaning it is the greatest feature haha.
He says his pad came with an arm sleeve? I can’t seem to find that with anyone else reviews or by Google, anyone else know if it is included in the package?
i have been using it for 6 month aim is smothh as shit thinks a dislike is the sweat and litle dusk on the pad will scratch your mouse feet and will 100% will have to replace your mouse feet because will ruin the smoothness aside from thar is flawless
Sensitivity and dpi you use on this glass pad?
Btw dont get the supeglides glassfeet. They are completely dogshit and mine worn out in a matter of 2 weeks on a hayate otsu. Wait until they fix their shit
Sounds like a really interesting mousepad that i would defenently give a try but speaking as a student i just cant afford it :/
P.S. keep up the good work always gives me a smile when watching your vids
Took me a day to get it.. but yeah.. i live in Japan 😂
If only this thing would cost less then my mouse xd
Just curious what was your sens/dpi for Apex?
So cheating just like scuff controllers so no more complaining about aim assist
I think your new N logo is worse than the last. This one is not as recognizable.
Haha so if you buy this mouse pad for 120 dollar, then you must not forget the arm sleeve for 25 dollar for more comfort plus PTFE Teflon for added speed for 8,50 (what that even means) so that's 153, 60 dollar...💸💸💸💸

im using a mirror
as someone who plays cod mobile on an ipad pro i can confirm using glass to aim makes you accurate since the screen is glass.

How are your mouse feet do they wear down fast and do you recommend 2.0 or 3.0 I’m switching from cloth ?
hey nate check out lethal gaming gears glass mouse skates i don’t think they are sold out (could be wrong) but i got them for my xm1r and it was the best experience i’ve had with a mouse regarding every aspect since i’ve been playing m&k
Nate use baby powder on yuur arm it should keep it a bit smoother

am i the only that actually prefers 100g mice with a control mousepad (i've been playing fps all my life, am not trash if u asking)
Yeah i have been playing on my glass dinning table .
would love to have one of these but it's way too expensive for i live in a 3rd world country 120 pounds is like a months salary in my country
I wanna see more apex from nate it's just so satisfying
destiny players are gonna cream when they see this
Funny enough when I first started PC gaming a few years ago I was having issues with my sweaty ass arm stinking to my table lol I wear a sleeve everytime I game 🤣 seems like a cool product, I'd try it.

What is your opinion on pulsar skates (glass skates) on the artisan hien?
I think you meant Hien and not Hein
Nice video ,I have one question for you guys. Do you have your ads sens the same as your normal sens? Like in fps games in general
why a glass mousepad if you can just buy glass mouseglides
its almost the same but personally i think its even better
Glass mouse pads are also the "past of insane gaming".. They are absolutely horrible to use and maintain..
I used glass mouse pad 10 years My bonus dad worked for Sony and gave me one. I dropped it...
9:07 I would tell you but I can't edit the description, only comment :( ;P
what keyboard do you use
I had two pads on my desk, when I don't wear an armsleeve I would put the second one onto the one for FPS games.
If i play high sens in call of duty 9 in game and 1600 dpi should i lower it since i got the skypad or should i just stick to what I am used too?
That's WAY high of a sens, ypu should lower it, even if you're not gonna use the skypad
@@TheACTIONZ I only use snipers and like the quick flicks for fast 360s trickshots and such what are your thoughts?
@@OutlawzsFPS I'd say try 1600dpi 5 sens. It's around 17.318cm, so still pretty fast, but suits your Playstyle.
I used to play on glass tables an marble tables an I feel like my tracking/aim was way better then.
Bro Wht dpi an sens u using bro I just got my 3.0 an are u using the stock mouse skates on your mouse
also cordura pads are awasome for tracking once you used to it cause the friction is diffrent the cloth pads feels sliggish in comparison
I prefer glass skates on any other mousepad than the sky pad rather than the sky pad with ptfe. It’s just smoother.
Nate have you ever played team fortress 2? The default settings are bad but the gameplay is pretty great
no feet in the middle will break it
I tried it, doesn't work for me
my fav mousepad ever!
Artisan heinz beans lul
Nates playing lost ark :o
I feel like it wouldn’t have enough traction but I would still love to try it
I use the glide 19 as of now . I've been considering a sky pad for so long but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.
If you aren’t good on a decent gaming mousepad, you won’t be good at this pad
Pls a apex video, i've been waiting for it since I started seeing you
i want buy this glasspad, but they won"t sent to Brazil.
its called the artisan hien lol
just got mine feels amazing but same problem with the hair and sleeve
steelseries icemat look it up
so nate. you mean to tell me you didnt hear of no glass mousepads when you been using an Artisan for so long. knowing that Artisan has the Shidenkai which is a well known glass pad
The shidenkai is glass infused cloth, the skypad is pure glass filled testosterone
i think you can play very well with a hoodie or a long sleeve shirt aswell
I bought one and found so many benefits but then as you said you cant stop for flicks so i kept missing headshots and was abit shakey on it but tried for three months and just put it in storage to display one day in my office in a frame as something funny
Nice vid nate I already use the glorious hard pad with ceramic feets and as of an arm sleeve I cut a sock and that does it lol um its real nice for tracking and as of the inaccurate flicks my sense is arm breaking low so even if I flick it literally doesn't even jiggle id be interested in trying the glass to see how much smoother compared to the hardpad
Drop that thing and it goes from 1 big to 500 small mouse pads
You should try some glass mouse skates legitimately gives you best of both worlds
