16 Oct: I removed the coating and tested it for a comparison "before vs after" - ua-cam.com/video/FRRL0miPr88/v-deo.html
17 Apr: Coating update!! About 4 weeks later, with 3 weeks of constant use, 6-10 hrs of use a day, the coating is still in place and appears to be consistent in high and low traffic areas 🫡
2months update? :)
@ferenclippai1059 Hey Feren, I ha e actually been using my Cerapad Kin sunce it arrived 4 or so weeks ago which means my Atlas is sit under my desk. It was still fine in terms of coating when i stopped using it, but i cant provide a long term metric because I havent used it for 4 weeks 🫣
@@LogPileGamingnew update?
@eMoRaL soon i hope. a dedicated video is planned
Excellent review! I watch reviews instead of playing them on a window I'm not looking at so I appreciate you're doing more than sitting at a desk talking directly into a webcam. I'm seriously considering picking up an Atlas from my local razer store now since I've been gradually moving up in mouse pad speed from a gigantus to LGG saturn to LGG mercury. Every time I moved up in speed it felt like an increase in control despite the lower stopping power, mouse aiming got closer to making a gesture than manipulating an object.
Hey Mike 👋 thanks for the feedback I appreciate that 👍 I'm not sure my "real life" clips are all that interesting or relevant but I'm working on making it better each time 🫡 its great to hear you liked it.
You've put it so neatly, i love that sentence "making a gesture rather than manipulating an object".
Exciting time for the glass market! Appreciate your unbiased thoughts!
Thanks for being here Skypad ❤️ I'm excited to see what you do next with the Skypad formula 🤙
I very much disliked the 3.0 version
The 2.0 was the best version in my opinion and I own 3 of them
Please bring back the 2.0
@@TheBaconAgent212 why do you have 3 if they dont wear out
@@RequiemOfSolo
I have them for 3 computer setups
And they are all just fine
@@TheBaconAgent212 ah okay. What do you dislike about the 3.0
Great review with great details in the video. Thinking outside the box with the sledgehammer/pencil test :)
I hoped the hammer and pencil test would look more impressive 😂 I smashed 3 or 4 pencils in the end 😅 thanks Liam, I appreciate that 👍
Great review, you hit every point we where looking for, keep up the great work, cant wait to see what you do next.
Hey there Angel, thanks so much for the nice words. I have 3 or 4 scripts in the works at the moment, not all relating directly to peripherals - I'm hoping you like them 🫡
Nice review! I honestly forgot that you were going to upload this video so it came as bit of a nice surprise when I saw it in my recommended feed. As a Skypad 2.0 user, I can say that I haven't noticed the flex in the middle of the pad at all. It takes a considerable amount of pressure to make it bend inwards. I feel like if I didn't already own a Skypad, I would definitely go for one of the 2 new options in the glass pad market as they are released by bigger companies and offer better quality overall.
Hey Rain, that's a really fair comment, it strikes me as odd that I notice the flex so much and you don't notice it at all, maybe I'm just sensitive to that sensation?! I'm not suggesting it makes a difference in game, but it makes the product feel more premium to have a solid base - and generally feels nicer to use. Thanks for stopping by 🫡
Hey man! Thoroughly enjoyed all your reviews I've watched thus far, big thumbs up and I can't wait to see more stuff from you :)
Hey bro, your name and profile pic tickled me 🤣 Thanks for the kind words 🙏 I have lots of plans, but not too much time - so I'm slowly chipping away at 2 or 3 videos in the background. There's plenty more to come 😁 I appreciate you, thanks man
@@LogPileGaming Yeah it takes kinda a while to make these videos I imagine, but keep it up 🤙🏼 well happy to crack you a smile mate haha
Love your reviews sir keep up the great work! Also, thank you again for the G303, it is amazing! Though I would have loved to see it used with this pad it is in loving hands haha!
Hey Thunder ⛈️ You're very welcome and I'm glad you're enjoying it 😊 It was collecting dust at my place - great it's now getting some use. Thanks for the feedback bro
Great point on the flex and temperature of the skypad. I FIXED this problem, and I'll be honest after the mod it made the skypad feel even more premium! I used tape thin silicone grip tape and filled the entire back of the skypad! It is remarkable the difference and overall QoL improvement.
you're a super user of all your peripherals v3n0m I'm very impressed 👏 I'd love to see this become the norm for Skypad too, as it is with Razer and Superglide.
@V3n0m151 so you mean you use silicone grip tape and stick them underneath the skypad right? I have the same problem and would love to fix it as well pls help🙏🏻
great review, thanks to you consider buying the hsk pro and now that i have it it's a great experience, now i will consider the razer atlas since at the moment i have an artisan zero so the transition won't be too far (i hope). Thank you for your work and dedication to your videos!🤘
Hey Samuride, I'm really happy to hear you're enjoying the HSK Pro! I hope you enjoy the Atlas too if you pick one up.
got the hsk pro 4k with your code^^ thanks for the great videos and keep it up!
Thank you Samu, I appreciate that :) have a great day, and let me know how you get on with it 🤝
Another great review dude! ❤🔥My girlfriend mentioned how loud my Skypad was a few times so good to know the differences. Be interesting to see if the coating wears off over time. Also, loved the pencil test and the Wealdstone Raider part🤣
Hey Volta, thanks for stopping by 🫡 I wasnt sure how many people would get the Wealdstone raider reference 🤣 but he's the hardest thing on the planet so felt it was worth putting him in. I smashed so many pencils making this video 🤣🤣
Such a good review. Im tempted to finally try one after all this time 😂
Thank you DGS! I can 100% recommend the Atlas, it's different enough that you'll feel the difference
Thanks for the review, it was definitely a good one. Keep up the good work.
I want to get the GWolves HSK 4K Pro mouse and either the Razer Atlas or Cerapad KIN. Would love to see a review of the KIN if possible.
Hey Spidey, I've looked into the kin a bit and I'm not sure it's for me. It seems to be quite polarising within the community - have you checked other reviews?
Thanks for the kind words 🙏
I may end up doing a kin review one day, but it's not on my radar as of rn 🤔
Great review I just got mines today.. I have 3 glass mousepads and one ceramic. Out of the glass mousepads Atlas is my favorite. As far as hard pads my main is TJ exclusive cerrapad. You should get yourself one it has way more control. My only concern about these pads is the coating fading over time.
Hey JerzZ, I'd love to try a carrapad kin, I may get one at some point but I also worry about the coating 😅 colour schemes on those pads are great too 😀
extra control in the form of slight stickyness at the end of swipes may come from it being smoother as you mentioned, more surface contact should (i think, im no physicist sorry) cause moisture to have a bigger effect also it may just make it slower since more surface contact (?)
i noticed this with my superglide atleast (had to return cus warp/qc issues tho) and i think its probably why people report it being slower than the skypad which is also reported to be rougher to the touch
Hey Bacon! I'm honestly not sure about this (although its a good idea!), cos the superglide is smoother than the atlas and offers less control than the atlas does. It could be the way the coating feels on the skates, or the way the micro texture surface is designed, I've no idea honestly, but the atlas is low key goated 👌
Amazing video, as always! Now i’m really interested in trying out the atlas.
Hey H0pe, thanks for the comment 🫡 I hope you've enterred the give away? the Atlas is ace 🤙
@@LogPileGaming No, not yet but I def will!
@@LogPileGaming Hey there, I was wondering when the winner will be chosen, and if you would try and reach them on all contact info they provided in the form.
@H0peOnSpeed Hey 👋 I was planning to do it in time for my next video (which I'm dragging my heels on!), so by the end of Apr I'll have reached out to the winner 😁 I'll try all the details on the form if they've given multiple 🫡
@@LogPileGaming Ooooh a new video in the making, excited for that one
Thanks, that eases my mind that it's not over yet ;)
Thanks for this video! Liked/Subscribed! I'm a mouse/kb player for years and have been struggling on the most recent warzone. I use the Logitech G Pro Wireless mouse (not the superlight). What would you recommend to try for the aftermarket skates? I just grabbed the atlas from best buy.
Hey man!! thanks for the support 🙏 I would recommend you give the Ghostglide Cyclone dots a try (if you want a smooth glide), or you could try Tiger Ice or CorePad GPX form fitted feet (if you want a touch slower glide on the pad).
The bigger the skates are the more likely it is you'll run into issues with dust etc, but i tend to prefer bigger skates personally because it slows down the glide slightly (which is good for me). It's all preference honestly, i hope that helped?
Hello, thank you for such a solid review! I wanted to ask about your last comment of the "...HSK pro and Atlas was now your favorite aiming combination...". For this combination are you using after market feet on your HSK pro, and if so what feet? I currently run the HSK Pro, and have been trying to figure out what aftermarket feet would work. I know you mentioned Tiger Ice, but was unsure if that is what you were currently running.
Hey KopiBo, I'm using the Tiger Ice Dots, i show the configuration in the video - just 1 of the biggest dots on each corner of the mouse. It works really well and its quote affordable too. Depending on your location, you may be able to use the link in the description to go to the Tiger Ice amazon store. Amazon deliver much quicker than ebay, as most ebay sellers I've seen are sending from China. Thanks for asking 🙂
I'm using the same mouse feet LPG is on his hsk, tiger ice diy dots. I got mine off of the lethal gaming gear online store but also bought some off aliexpress to compare since aliexpress was cheaper. If you can wait for the delivery aliexpress tiger ice diy dots are the real thing and cheaper.
@@LogPileGaming Thank you so much this is exactly what I was looking for!
I bought it because I don't like the texture of cloth pads. And I am really happy with it such a premium feel
I don't own a skypad or any glass pad, but have you tried putting a small piece or many small pieces of rubber or another material under the middle to stop the flex?
still loving the irl shots
Hey Sneaky, I had thought about this, but I haven't got around to trying it. Thanks for the comment. Do you play Apex by any chance? If so, you may be featured in this video... I remember the name Sneaky Peaky in one of the TDM games I used the clips from. Cheers 🍻
@@LogPileGaming I do enjoy myself some apex but i play oce so i doubt that was me, it was a imposter.
If there is any chance please compare the Razer with Pulsar and Skypad glass. Im torned between these products.
I'd love to do this comparison, I'll keep an eye out for superglides being available in the UK
I'll definitely choose skypad, but adding some kind of thin rubber or silicone base would be nice option
I think thats the difference for me honestly, if the Skypad had the solid build feel (with the silicon base) I'd be less convinced that the Atlas was the winner in this case 🏆
@@LogPileGaming for me, it's more about supporting smaller companies) I'm sure they fixed base in the next version.
Anyway, non of those pads ever be available in Ukraine, so I can just watch reviews XD
@Violet_doom You raise a very good point! Have you entered my giveaway Violet? I'll be announcing a winner end of Apr :)
I think I'm going to pick the pulsar one, it's like razer atlas, but without an oleophobic layer.
That's a pretty good shout, I'd be interested to hear how you get on with it 🤙 maybe I'll try one at some point too!
Alright, currently I'm PTFE + Saturn Pro cloth pad. Been wanting to try glass SOMETHING... Pad or skates. Normally a slower sens player, but was curious about the glass glide. Would you recommend I start with "Middle Ground" (your picture) and do Glass Pad + PTFE skates or something like Superglide2 glass dots (just ordered yesterday) with my saturn pro cloth pad?
Hey Jason, I think the Superglide 2 glass skates are much slower than the 1st verson of glass skates they released. So you'd probably have a very different experience to me witht that version. I'd say a glass pad can work well for slow sens, but it certainly isn't considered meta for tac fps games. I'd suggest it's fun regardless 🤣 if you want that fun experience, a glass pad would be a good investment, and if you want a more controlled experience on glass, the skypad dots are great, if you want something really smooth (like the air hockey type feeling) then a hard ptfe dot would work a dream (Ghostglides Cyclones is my preference).
I dunno if that helped man, I hope so
@@LogPileGaming exactly what I was looking for! Thanks man, appreciate the response

@JDubz303 anytime bro
👌 sleeve recommendations?
Hey Jim, check out my previous video on the skypad, I talk about my sleeves there. TLDR is I've just recycled some old sports kit - but there should be some links in the description if you're stuck for inspiration 🫡
Thank you very much for this detailed video. I already own a SkyPAD, and I want to buy the Razer to try it out. Brilliant work, sir.
Thanks Boodz 👌 goodluck with your Atlas 👍
if i would choose yes the razer would be better, good review
how much does it wear the ptfe mouse feet? can we use glass mouse feet with razer or they don't recommend?
Hey X7, thanks for the comment 😀 I haven't noticed too much wear on my mouse feet yet honestly and ive used the same feet for a month on skypad and a month on the Atlas. I'll check again when I get back from my holiday 🫡 definitely don't use glass feet on a glass pad. I think that's pretty much universal glass mouse pad advice. Thanks for the feedback 😊
I want to buy it, but I'm concerned about how long the coating will last. The warranty of 1 year is a worry, especially for the price. In my personal experience, I'm finding Razer products have slipped with their quality and durability. Great review and would be great to see a follow up video on how the coating is going for you. Also if you can, would be great to hear if this mouse pad affects the durability and life of your mice skates. Thanks!
Hey MonstaBeats 👋 I'll keep the pinned comment updated with any coating and mouse feet observations. Thanks for the comment 👍
Any update on coating
Any update on coating
@@LogPileGaming Is it just me or is there really no pinned comment at the moment?
@@serovlade0 Hey man, I'm not sure how thay happened, I have just re pinned the comment.
do these glass pads wear off your mouse feets quickly?
Hard pads (glass or ceramic) will wear your mouse feet down faster than a cloth pad, but I didn't notice it on my mouse feet until after maybe 3-4 months of use.
funny thing, razer mice (also some Fantech Helios XD5 wireless not as smooth on SP 3.0) with focus sensor (Basilisk v2 & Viper v1) are not as smooth while trying control crosshair in FPS games with Skypad 3.0, but Logitech (especially wired) mice are frickin' flawless on skypad 3.0, but yeah, skypad 3.0 gets warm with your hand moving around, it's very welcome, and personally, i don't need armsleeve with SP 3.0, rather than having cold surface, in 11-20 Celsius temperature countries Skypad 3.0 is very practical, and no it's not loud mousemat
Hmm what s best for targetswitching scenario skypad or atlas?
It all depends on the user honestly, for me, I'd say the Atlas is better because of the extra control - but it will vary depending on what you want/need from a mousepad.
@@LogPileGaming thx
There have been reports of the coating wearing off.
Apparently you can test it by dropping water on the surface, if it bunches into droplets the coating is intact, if not - it isnt. I havent tried this yet - and im out of the country at the moment, but ill try it when i get home
nice video
thanks 👌
Skypad is available for 51,75 Euro on Amazon DE right now (09.2023), while the Atlas sits at 119 Euro. That perhaps makes any perceived difference a moot point. Alas.. i personally don't feel much of a difference between a premium cloth in terms of glide. I can push my mouse around just as easily on cloth as i could on the (new) glass and it stops by itself almost the same. I am still not sure if glass is really worth it. However, after Skypad came down from 79 to 52 effectively i will give it another go.
Hi Prodigy, I didn't realise the skypad had reduced so much in price, that's kind of crazy! I've said in my later videos that glass is glass, all differences are minor between them, but the enthusiast community still enjoys hearing the differences.
I agree it is possible to use a cloth pad, equally it is possible to use glass. I could also probably use scrap metal if it was flat! the point i am trying to address in these videos, are those small marginal gains between surfaces/products optimised and marketed for gaming.
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the skypad if you do try it!
@@LogPileGaming This is my second attempt with glass. My path so far: cloth -> soft plastic -> hard plastic -> glass -> premium cloth -> glass again, since price drop.
Reason was i didn't feel much of a difference between a textured hardplastic-pad and the somewhat-scratchy skypad. Noise also was kinda equal.
Skypad was still expensive and so i returned it. Now that the price came down and i will give it another chance :)
I also try the Pulsar glove you recommended in another video. Thank you :)
@prodigy_xd I've never used a plastic surface, theres a thought! 😅🤔 I would expect them to be similar but not identical.
Great choice on the sleeve! I use my pulsar palm long sleeve daily 👌

8:44 I really dont think this is a useful or scientific analogy
Thanks for the comment Ellipsis, I am no scientist! but I accept your comment I maybe could have articulated the point better. I do think the point is valid though. Have a great day 🫶
@@LogPileGaming I like the open mindedness - the concept I would've employed is "thermal conductivity"* from what I can hear nothing to do with air flow if you feel like looking it up. I didn't mean to be rude I just believe video time is better not extended if there is no knowledge base, I appreciate trying to add to the information in the review though.
@Ellipsis115 You're right I think explaining that it feels different is ok, but trying to to think of why (without any knowledge) is poor behaviours. I'll take that into my future content - thank you for the feedback 🫡
