      Hey bad seed tech, I was wondering if you could help me with mech cables, I have already paid for an order that was $57.19 and that was 2 weeks ago on may 25th. And I tried reaching to them twice already but they don't respond or anything, I was really trying to make my set up better but I think I got scammed, I was wondering if u could please help me with this, since they might listen to you

    A bit late comment, but I hope you can answer my question. I kind of arm aim with my wrist, so I put pressure on my lower palm and drag it across the pad using arm, actually looks like we have the same style. So my question: Is the surface smooth in a way that it is possible to drag palm without it sticking to the pad like what happens with a hardpad?

      @Frencho9 3 роки тому

      @@dennsoll softpads faster which one? I doubt it only softpad I think can be a bit faster is the Asus Scabbard (cordura hybrid). Or if you consider that japanese one with glass infusion a softpad (Artisan). Hardpads Like the AMP or Helios can of course be faster. I have corepad TPFE skates and apply pledge polish every week on the GLIDE 38 to make it faster, can't do that on a cloth or cordura pad unless you want gunk.

    • @dennsoll
      @dennsoll 3 роки тому

      @@Frencho9 I have the madcatz glide and the corepad tpfe skatez aswell. It depends on how "often" the mousefeets scratched arround. If u do the "table glide," to scratch ur feets hard, the mousepad will feel way faster after that, but after 1-2 hours of use, the mousepad will be slow asfck again. I legit noticed it at the beginning so no matter how clean it was, no clue how this problem begins. any roccat taito or a razer speed mousepad have done it better. U will never have a difference of glide there. The amp has not the problem aswell, and it didn't care once how clean it was^^ Btw. i have the old razer megasoma 2 (silikon aswell) and that's gliding the shi2t out of mice. not even comparable to an amp500 or mad catz glide, but sadly too small.

    • @Frencho9
      @Frencho9 3 роки тому

      @@dennsoll Weird never felt it was slow, fastest pad I have owned. My previous one was the Roccat Alumic hardpad, I only used control side, speed felt scratchy, point is it is slower than my pledged Glide 38 even being a hardpad. I have tried faster hardpads but not my thing cuz I lose control. Glide 38 is the sweespot for me speed wise. But I clean daily my Glide 38 before use with a wet sponge I exclusively use for it, being waterproof it air dries in a couple of minutes and then apply pledge polish every week and that helps a lot to increase speed and smoothess. The pledge polish also lubricates and leave a residual protective layer. So my Glide 38 is almost as good as new, very consistent, no cuts, nicks or wear on the surface. Edit as you can see I am a clean freak, so my mouse skatez are pristine too, no scratches. What I love about the Glide 38 is the ease of maintenance and cleaning compared to clothpads or cordura and I can get a mousemat XL size unlike hardpads. Saves me a lot of time, busywork.

      @dennsoll 3 роки тому

      @@Frencho9 well maybe it's me and something goes wrong with my sweat on top of the mousepad since it is wateresistent aswell. But i don't get it why it was all the time way faster, when i scratch my mousefeets on a table, like it would kill the sweat anyhow idk. I swear that u would love the megasoma 2, but it's so sad it is no longer produced. And too small for shooter anyway. Idk why razer never marked them right. It is the same hybrid surface they are like the creator of those pads. Back in 2008-2010 lol and no one knows of this pads

  • @D4rkstorn
    @D4rkstorn 4 роки тому

    Maybe someone has already mentioned this before but these types of pads are much older than most people think. The original Qpad CT was a hybrid pad, and a pretty popular one too. The problem was their poor durability. And their "large" version was considered tiny even when it was new.
