    • @Beardedbob
      @Beardedbob  5 років тому

      I expect the slowest to be obvious a the fastest but that middle range is going to become cloudy and it will just be which surface you prefer as they provide nearly the same performance. I really do though hope these have a noticeable range of speeds across the range.
      haha I'm sure they will be proud of how I pronounced the names 😜.
      Wear is acceptable. It not like others don't wear and it's not like it's the price of a GPW mouse each time. I'm sure if we checked mouse force actuation after some use it would have worn.

  • @ZRockwell
    @ZRockwell 5 років тому +6

    Wonderful video! I think you'll find the Hein to be the 3 fastest behind the Raiden. I've found rough pads in general to be fast with soft/smooth silk pads to be slow. Just my experience after owning 20 mousepads.

    • @Beardedbob
      @Beardedbob  5 років тому

      You could be right with the Hien the MP510 surprised me like this. I think the raised texture means less mouse sits on it and this provides a faster glide but we shall see.

    Hi, bob. First of all thank you for buying all these pads and reviewing them, I know it wasnt cheap. There is almost no reviews on some of these pads so this was very helpful. That being said i have a few questions. I use the Hayate fx MID just so you know.
    1. How are the stitching on all the pads. I noticed the stitching on my shidenkai fx was kinda bumpy and bothering my arm, but the stitching on my hayate was the best on any pad ive used.
    2. I like the feel of the cloth on the hayate fx a lot so i was wondering if there was a pad they make that uses the same cloth, but with more speed.
    Thanks

    • @Beardedbob
      @Beardedbob  5 років тому +2

      Np problem I wanted to know and I thought well if others do I'll take the hit and get them and share the love.
      1. Normally I hate the stitching but on these, I'm impressed and rate them. All seem smooth to me apart from the Shidenkai
      2. No I found the Hayate -FX to be the second fastest behind the Shidenkai

    Realize this is an old video, but did you by any chance notice the friction on the skin between the different pads? I've heard the Raiden is the smoothest mousepad for skin, but it's hard to find, so was wondering if the others fair well on that area.

  • @paul2609
    @paul2609 5 років тому +5

    The softness of the foam and the type of mouse feet does affect the speed a lot. For example I got the XSOFT Hien and mice with small feet such as the Logitech G305 or Zowie EC2-B (non-Divina) will dig deeper into the foam causing more friction compared to my Logitech G403 and Roccat KPOE which have bigger feet it is more smooth. When you test you should make sure you try out different mice and maybe do a "human" test where you just use the mouse normally, which naturally you do press down on the mouse a bit compared to just pushing the mouse with the measuring tool which doesn't pressure the mouse down towards the pad.

    • @Beardedbob
      @Beardedbob  5 років тому +1

      @Paul I know you requested this, so I hope it provides you with the detail you want 👍
      I'm planning to do the usual friction tests, but I agree some human tests might also be beneficial here to understand how the foam affects it. If people have some ideas on what they would like to see and the mice I'll see what I can do.
      I'm concerned over how soft the xSoft foam is and as you say it digging in. I ordered the MID foam because of this but also an xSoft to compare. The MID which I didn't expect seems to float, skate more on the desk surface as the base isn't sticky enough so atm I'm not sure which one I would pick. I'll also try wetting the MID base to see if that sticks more but I wouldn't personally want to do this.

    • @paul2609
      @paul2609 5 років тому +1

      @@Beardedbob The base of Artisan pads assumes you have a glossy surface or a surface that allows "suction cup effect" to take place (Artisan base are basically many micro suction cups). A ghetto fix would be to place another mousepad (or some sort of fabric/foam) under the artisan pad, it should stop sliding now since the friction of fabric (of the other mousepad) and the rubber (of the artisan) would keep them in place. But preferably you find a surface that is suited for suction cups.

    • @Beardedbob
      @Beardedbob  5 років тому +1

      I'll have to go around my house now and see if they stick to different surfaces lol. its a tough decision on which base to use for the supplier but imo a glass surface is rarer than wood or a coated wood so it seems more of a risky decision.

    • @paul2609
      @paul2609 5 років тому +1

      @@Beardedbob I am currently using a generic glossy white table and the Hien sticks like glue. It can be annoying since when I place the mousepad down on this table but not satisfied with the placement, it is very difficult to readjust the placement unless I peel it off and try again. To be honest they should've went with a rubber base instead of "suction cup" technology so its easy to adjust once you set it in place.

    • @Beardedbob
      @Beardedbob  5 років тому

      Yeah, I can imagine if it sticks that well it is hard to make a fine adjustment. I'm just about to go and slap a few pads on the windows to see if they stick, The neighbours/GF will think I've lost my mind haha. Agreed rubber base seems to be more universal, or we have to use a softer foam which will depend on your personal preference. I personally like it a bit firmer

    About the mousepad sole not sticking to the table - just spray/mist a little water on top of the table and put your mousepad over it. It sticks like glue - mine is sticked solid on my desk without any problems, I removed it a few times, redone the same thing and it still ok - no problems!

Also on the Hien the Lexip don't seem affected that much with the X/Y glide difference while it is obvious with stock feet. It would be interesting to see different feet in your speed test video!

If you prefer speed then I can't see any of them being faster than the Shidenkia it will just come down to how much slower are they when I test them.

      They seem to adhere better to certain surfaces and not others. Something to consider when you are purchasing one as you don't want it sliding around like it can do.

    How was the starting a stopping friction on each? Glide and stopping and starting friction are the 3 most important categories to rate a mouse pad.
    Maybe it's in the glide test.

    • @Beardedbob
      @Beardedbob  4 роки тому

      Hi,
      The start and stop is more down to your own opinion and you can't really show it in tests as its just a feeling. I would ask about and see what the general view is, though from what I've seen or read there are mixed ones.

    • @kevinjames5221
      @kevinjames5221 4 роки тому

      I absolutely love the stopping power on the Zero mid. It's like what the GSR-SE should have been. Speed wise it's the slower of the set, but just as fast as the QcK+ to me, but much better stopping power. It's like if the G-SR, and QcK had a baby however quality is 10 times better imo.

      @Beardedbob  5 років тому +1

      Have you tried a hard pad? I prefer speed or a well-balanced pad. The problem is that is so subjective that unless you try it yourself you will never know.
      The death adder is a well-rated mouse and I've had the chroma and loved it. I think you would be happy with it as its a good mouse. The mousepad though well that's a different story and imo much harder to say. Then you add in that you want an Artisan pad which is very similar and it makes it even harder lol.
      I would say wait until I do the friction test and see who they perform then decide. If you aren't sure on speed or control then get the balanced and tweak if needed up or down.

    I noticed you said the pads doesnt stick to your desk well. I guess the base works well with some types of materials, and bad with others. My pad sticks to my desk better than any other pad for some reason. Try getting a damn cloth and wiping under your mouse pad before placing the pad on top, even if your table is clean. I found that after a min or two of letting my pad just rest the water made the base kind of sticky. I left it like this for about a week and when i went to move my pad again it was like there was a small layer of glue under the pad. I dont know exactly how that worked, but its worth a try.

It's like what the GSR-SE should have been. If you want the speed like GSR-SE i'd say try to get the soft, but the mid is the best to me. Very comparable. The Zero also tracks better, and has less initial friction that the GSR-SE did. I felt sometimes I was moving in mud at 1st on GSR-SE.
