Recently got a Skypad and was struggling a lot. But I swear within an hour of playing your playlist my aim and stability drastically improved and made it much easier to identify issues using the pad. Thank you so much God bless.
I am an advocate for glass mousepad. The moment I switched to it, there was no turning back. I actually feel like it helped unlock my progression in Aim-Training, and I feel more confident no matter the game (Apex, CS,...). I love how people at the beginning were saying : "Unusable in tac' FPS", and now it changes ; less friction and stopping power doesn't mean less control.
@@chriswolkai'm not the person ur asking but i wouldn't recommend glass on glass. particles of stuff will get in between the two surfaces and cause scratching and other unpleasant stuff. try some ptfe skates like tiger ice or corepads if you are going for glass
@@chriswolka Pretty much what @accura584 said. I heard it is a bad idea to go glass on glass. Personally, I use Corepad for my mice skates. Note that, since glass is a harder surface than cloth, skates are going to wear out faster.
I switched to a glass mousepad on a whim after my friend mentioned them, I have always looked for a mousepad with the least amount of “mousepad feel” to them. I absolutely despise feeling texture on my mouse outside of the Hayate Otsu by Artisan (I own and have tried all 3 variants. Mid, Soft, XSoft, I must say my favorite feeling cloth pad is a brand new GSR SE, however that pad has humidity issues. I live in a very humid place, therefor, I don’t particularly care for the feeling of my pad changing. My favorite all time cloth pad is the artisan Radian. I have both XSOFT and Mid. I prefer the Mid variant. With all of that out of the way, the Skypad 3.0 is the best feeling for my mouse imo. I absolutely love the feeling of a puck on a air hockey table. Skypad (and glass pads in general) will point out your weaknesses in your aim, instantly. After using the Skypad 3.0 for over 2 months, I decided to try my cloth pads again for a day and I despised all of them. The very next gaming session, I switched back to my Skypad and that is the moment that I realized. Glass truly is for me and I much prefer the raw input it gives into your aim.
@@mickaz436 Sorry for the late reply, I would rate those three like this. Skypad is the fastest glide, the next being the raiden, and lastly is the GSR. GSR is the slowest of the 3, and it becomes a mud pad on humid days, raiden does not. My favorite CLOTH pad that I am currently maining is actually the Yuki Aim 2023 Katana drop. I would rate this pad the closest feeling to a skypad 3.0. I would also rate this pad above the other cloth pads that I mentioned. Best glide I ever felt, no mousepad texture feeling through mouse, good stopping power, very durable, does not become a mud pad during humid days, and it's slightly larger than the Skypad 3.0.
On a medium sense (45cm). Speed and initial friction aren't a problem, even on a Ninjutsu NPC (Speed between a GSR and LGG Saturn). It only makes my aim less natural witch is the bane of Consistent aim. You want to be able to flick as hard as you can and still hit the target consistently.
been using a pulsar superglide glasspad for months now just cause i didn't like the fact cloth pads wear down over time (switched from multiple artisan pads)
Interesting. I also don't like super slow setups even for csgo and valorant. Currently using a Hien with a viper v2 pro. But it got too fast when I tried the new Superglide 2 Mousefeet with that setup. I could hardly click without moving my mouse ever so slightly. That has also been my experience on most glass pads. I love the idea of glass being always 100% consistent, but the currently available and affordable options are just too fast for my taste.
you need a mouse with clicks that are easy to do, and it comes with some time. the way that i found to not let this happen is to remember that my whole arm is on my desk, meaning i use that to stabilize when i need to hold my hand in place for a running smoke lineup or something in csgo
I used an artisan shidenkai and trust me its definetly too fast with the glass coating, especially with good mouse skates. However my sens is in the mid range so if you play a low sens it might he good
I have that and based on West's point; it might be too slow just a bit because i overflick too often though i need to try pushing down on the pad to stop
So I have a question that I can’t seem to find an answer to, it seems like most professional players’ thumb and pinky touch the mousepad slightly, mine don’t when I hold my mouse naturally. Is that a bad thing?
I have around 100+ hours on the skypad so far and I think the first 40 hours took some getting used to. At this point I feel like I have fully adjusted and am just as good with it as I was with my artisan zero and raiden. If you find it hard and need a little extra control, a little hack is to use a wired mouse with a mouse bungee as it add some artificial control. You’re welcome.
I often find myself getting super annoyed when I'm aim training, It causes me to loose focus and get upset. This goes with easy tasks and hard tasks, is there anyway to fix this? I want to aim train, my desire is there, its just the fact that I often get upset and find myself quiting. By upset/annoyed I mean I cant stop moving my legs and moving my back around. Would appreciate any answers, thank you! I relaly want to fix this problem as it limits my ability to train. A factor that is inlcuded is maybe that I try to hard, but if I dont try I miss even more on the targest and get even more upset. Thank you again.
Missing is part of training. Missing also makes you improve. Understand that its a process and its not a linear one. Just try to have the most fun you can, and dont expect to be perfect fron day one. You say you want to aim train. Realize that missing is part of aim training.
I want to make my flicks between targets more of a straight line, when i flick now sometimes its straight but near the end it curves instead to the target. Is there a practice routine for the route my mouse takes to the target when switching?
I have ru version of glass pad, now im stoped on intermediate Voltaic multiclick, in valorant take max 300pts immortal3, Its hard when u wanna be True aiming, but have 70 ping
Yes, West Proter 100% has bias because of the sponsorship. If he started talking mostly negative about the skypad, he would never get another sponsor from them.
I've been using superglides on my GPX and it was easy to adjust from the stock skates, I had to lower sense a bit but it felt much smoother. I'm bout to switch my setup to DAV3 with stock skates and I need to get a new mousepad so would u recommend to go for a glass pad or a quality cloth pad like LGG Saturn Pro?
in general, you actually want a HIGHER sens on a skypad than your sens on a clothpad. why? the higher the sens, the less force is needed to start and stop
@@TheACTIONZ NO I DIDNT ACTUALLY AS IT TURNED OUT I BOUGHT SLOW GLASSPAD BY MSITAKE SLOWER THAN MY CLOTHPAD, IN FUTURE WHEN ILL HAVE TIME ILL BUY FAST ONE AND TEST IT XD, JUST RN ALL MY MICE HAVE GLASS SKATES
I remember a video about you speaking of brain neuroplasticity and how research has shown that meditation can help in such process, do you know which video it was?
i coming full circle now. i started with a corepad glass mousepad(dug it out beside a pyramid), then went through the mudpads, then hybrid and speed and nowni just ordered a pulsar super speed. IMO, you can play on any of them(as long as they are of decent size and quality), but it's just so much fun to pull out something uncomfortable in terms of friction and get good on it. i think that's really the point i am making is not to let it kill your fun. i used to beat myself up, when i was not in the top 90%, but now that i am usually even higher, i don't even care anymore. it's just time and consistency. and you can literally get insane aim playing aim maps or DM. there's really no need at all to do aimtrainers unless it's fun to you.
If you want to improve your aim you should play aim trainers, since they train every part of your aim. Even if your game of choice doesn't require a lot of tracking, it's good to have the skill for it, since it translates to your flicking, even if you don't utilize that part of your aim.
@@TheACTIONZ i have about 1700h now in aim trainers and i absolutely get where you are coming from. but i wouldn't have that many hours if i did not enjoy it at least to some degree. also it doesn't teach you how to kill someone through the double door with a scout, what corner to pre fire first when you entry, shoot people blinded anticipating their peek or shoot someone through smokes. in aim maps you can learn how to bait their first bullet accuracy and predict their next move. sorry, i am too old. i learned aiming the old fashioned way, but now i am trying to learn it again with aim trainers. i need 4 scenarios to have masters complete and while it's kinda painful to see age creep in but i still enjoy it all the same.
Everyone is forced to deal with some things. There are set ups that are so bad they will hurt you physically (ie easy carpal tunnels) and ones that are just going to hold you back. Your set up sounds very bad, but as long as it’s not hurting you physically, I’d say keep playing video games and have fun. It’ll hold you back but not a reason to quit

I have a skypad and the main thing keeping me from using it as my main pad is moisture buildup. Sweat can build up and cause different textures throughout the pad if not cleaned regularly, which in this case is whenever you die or finish a scenario
Personally, I can't use my skypad anymore since it's hot in my area. After cleaning my hand and pad 30 seconds is enough for my wrist to start sticking on the pad. You basically need a full sleeve that cover hand for this pad
might be too humid in your area, my hands sweat but only when i play kz for 1+ hrs i start top notice it and it goes away after 5 seconds of wiping with my arm, idk
what a fall from grace, started with genuinely good advice/ mental for people starting aiming…. And now clickbait shilling niche products to I can only assume fortnite kids, rip to the channel fr
