@patrik259 interesting observations, i haven't came across that "meta". People try glass because hype > get annoyed > back to cloth. As usual, Jaeky is just going with the hype train. I have glass, its annoying. Its cold, every dust/hair partical or anything really makes it insufferable, wearing sleeve at each sitting is annoying and it eats PTFE feet in a week or two slowing it down to Zero Mid levels. With cloth, wash it monthly and you're good to go.
My transition to glass mousepad was pretty diabolical. I didn't just switch to glass pad, but I also simultaneously changed to fingertip grip AND fingertip mouse too. I was completely news to both of them as well. But it was very much worth learning them as I now have much better aim
I feel like this comment was directed at me, I just did all of this 7 days ago, it’s very difficult throwing all these things at the wall and see which I’m struggling with specifically, glad it worked out for you in the end!
Just ordered the skypad 4.. hope I enjoy it. I'm a natural fingertip gripper and I've been using a QcK heavy... I expect a lot of missed shots in the near future
@@oliverdavidacaster5258 haha yeah it really did feel like throwing everything to see what sticks. Definitely recommend really sticking with it for at least a few weeks to a month
@@plythbird yeah overshooting will most likely be brutal (as it was for me) but once it clicks, it'll really click. I'm also using obsidian air pro which are supposed to be a bit more controlled skates. Those have helped as well maintain a good balance between the speed and more stopping power
I highly advise against using stock or normal PTFE skates on glass mousepads. I think its totally unusable especially if they are big pad skates. The surface wears down unevenly and the skates become unusuably sketchy and inconsistent due to the depressions that usually form in the middle of the big pad skates. Just grab obsidian air dots.
4:38 so glad you mentioned having a cat. I have a cat as well and I only use my GSR 2's sometimes to game cause I don't want his fur to get all over it. Otherwise, I just have my big logitech mousepad which works of course and feels smooth but ofc its old and gets scratched and I guess "dirty" because my cat can sneeze, etc
"The texture on glass mousepads is specifically engineered to enhance the tracking capabilities of optical mouse sensors. Optical sensors function by capturing images of the surface beneath them and detecting movement through changes in these images. A completely smooth, transparent glass surface lacks the necessary features for the sensor to detect movement accurately, leading to tracking issues. By introducing a micro-etched texture, the surface provides the sensor with a consistent pattern to detect, thereby improving tracking precision.

Ive had a SP-003 but never actually stuck with it as I kept switching back to a cloth pad. Finally decided to stick with it and it's such a good experience now. Smooth and consistent. It's helped me a lot in regards to my mouse control.
I been using the SkyPad 3.0 and it's been great. Love it. They (SkyPad) rebranded to Wallhack earlier this year so they could expand away from just mouse pads. It's so easy to clean and could literally be passed down to your kids. The initial learning curve switching to a glass pad had me lowering my sens cause I could swipe so easily and faster. Also had the issues of skin sticking but the way I aim I don't even need a sleeve anymore. Would probably help but it doesn't bother me to not use one anymore. Will only use glass from now on
@redxtreme6403 Better is subjective. 004 is alot faster than glsswrks pads and has a completely different surface feel so when you're moving your mouse around it feels very different than a glsswrks pad. Personally, the 004 is my favorite because of how fast it but alot of people like glsswrks pads because it offers more control among other things.
@@kami3449 Thanks for the quick reply i will be getting the 004 as well ordered the obisidian black dots with it. Going to upgrade from the artisan hien to this pad.
@redxtreme6403 While the skates you got were made for the 004 they aren't the best. Obsidian airs and Obsidian pro airs would be more enjoyable for you. The Obsidian pro airs is a direct upgrade from the skates you got
been using the same pad for a month atleast and honestly going from saturn pro llg to this pad i love this one so much more. i dont use a sleeve i play just fine without one but i also just dont play for more than 2 or 3 hours
Th reality is if you can minimize friction and drag to zero for your mouse/pad set up, that would be the best combination. That is why you are seeing ligher mice and faster glass pads. You want to limit any variables that inhibit your natural hand-eye coordination.
i just got one BECAUSE of optimum, then saw this vid lol. i also thought i was going to be a control pad user forever. its very hard to get used to, im struggling to aim consistently at the moment but ive had a lot of fun gaming again because of the pad.
Honestly for a game like valorant where counter strafing don’t have to be perfect unlike cs faster mousepads can work, my main is a hayate otsu and i can’t go back to my zero or any other cloth pads for valorant it’s very smooth to aim with
I don’t main glass so no bias from me, but you can LITERALLY use it as a cutting board. The hot stuff while i don’t believe it will break it, i would highly discourage it as many glass pads have a solution coating and heat could potentially ruin the pad’s performance but im not certain
You can put whatever you want on it you just cant slide certain materials on it because it will damage the surface. Stuff like glass or metal will damage the surface if its sliding around on it and you'll be able to hear it too, it makes a horrible scratching sound. I personally eat on mines all the time i just set the glass down and pick it up, never slide. Either that or i put a microfiber cloth towel down before i put my bowl or plate on top if i dont feel like being careful. Also as far as something falling on it and breaking it unless that something is like 40 pounds and made of a very hard material then it will not crack. All glass pads have several layers and are heat treated at 500-700 degrees so that wont be an issue for you.
Also watched that same Optimum tech video and first day on it today, I thought I would be absolutely shit. Shockingly it felt natural coming from a hien. Got the Pulsar sleeve and it's kinda tight ngl, hopefully it stretches out more + I'm not sure if there's a larger size
@@Jaeky I’m actually switching back to cloth from glass so it was interesting to see someone do the opposite. I have the artisan zero orange coming in a few days. Also glad to see u playing Val again! I thought u were gonna quit tbh
Have you tried the SP-004 and if so, how does it compare to the Kin? I know they are polar opposites but wanted to get insight from people who have tried both.
@@Kokinkun for me the 004 was to fast and you "need" a sleeve to get the most out of it. But I live in a humid area. So was a no go for me. The only downside of the kin is it does get abit scratchy under the wrong skates. Jade skates helped this for me.
i recently switched to the wallhack after only using artisan pads and everything hes saying is true, its easily the best mousepad i ever used and i was used to control pads but this feels so much better and its just way more consistent
I’m using the raiden mid rn and I’m loving it but I do think an sp 004 would be an awesome upgrade. Also which mouse would you recommend I’m considering buying an op1 or the lamzu maya, thorn ?
Was using raiden soft, using sp now, with jade air donuts. Was trying out osid pro air, but very controlled and slow. Will take time to get used to it but yeah stay with it. Have osid pro skates on way but have all xraypad skates coming as well. As for mouse depends on what you like, op1 to narrow for me, using v3 pro but have scyrox coming just for the shape as I'm claw and need little more wider. Have maya 8k but do not like hump.
Im thinking if i should try sp-004 im buying new mousepad finally getting rid of my logitech g640 and i still thinking if i should go with artisan zero soft like most people playing valorant or try glass pad sleeve isn't the issue im just afraid that i will miss all shots due to no stopping power and will not get use to it so its hard to choose because there are no stopping power in intense moment if you jitter with your mouse even a little it can effect you aim hardly i hope i will get an idea what to buy soon xd great video
i own 3 artisans and theyre great but i mean idk man, they wont make or break your gaming experience. youre paying for the quality. ive replaced two gsrs in the span that ive owned all 3 artisans. my hien is like 3-4 yrs old with a slight curve in the top and even with the age and all its been through besides it feeling sluggish its still a 1:1 of when i first got it. my zero on the other hand lost its squish and plush and kinda turned into a hard pad it also feels inconsistent in some spots from overall use. also own a skypad 3.0 and i promise you itll help with your mouse control but until you get used to it. it will not make u a better gamer.
i used the artisan zero for a year plus now and just switched to the wallhack, and i honestly think the wallhack is a lot better and u wont ever have to worry about hair or dirt or having to clean it, the zero gets lots of lint and hair quick and u have to clean it, the wallhack is insanely consistent and u still have stopping power u just need to get used to it
@@Szlvage yea I agree and I bought the new orange color in hopes that by boardzy standard the hair and lint issue was supposed to be fixed and if anything it’s actually worse. Atleast with my xs copy. I’ve been using skypad now for a couple months and always switch back to cloth when I’m having a bad aim day just cause I get shaky and too caffeinated sometimes LMAO. Other than that skypad feels great. I will whole heartedly Agree with the skate thing as well. The obsidians are a must. Lamzu skates are scratchy as fuck on this squeaky clean surface ngl.
lmao i got the ikea version of a glass mousepad im using a polished granite slab from when they renovated my house basically the same principal, though i def need new skates it eats ptfe fast
Came back from a 5 year break from gaming and went straight to glass after previously using only cloth pads, and 1.5 years later I'm still on glass and will never switch back. It took sometime getting use to, but once you do, it's the best. It feels like a zero latency mouse pad once you get used to it. Every action is translated into the pad so quickly, it feels so raw.
The 003 and 004 have bery minimal differences so dont get a 004. If you're going to get another glasspad then get something thats very different than wallhacks pads like Glsswrks Kazemi, Glsswrks Hana, Padsmith purple empress, Kanami Sai, or Ultraglide Pyramid
I got the exact combo as you! The Obsidians Pros ones they wear in in after a couple of hours is great. The control and feeling is insane!! Thank you so much for making me buy the SP-004 and Viper V3 PRO!😍❤️
Mainly because of humidity and sweat. When you start to sweat, your hand/forearm gets hot, or you live in a humid area it will stick to the glasspad. However there are glasspads out there that have sweat and water resistance like Glsswrks Kazemi and Glsswrks Hana plus several others. So if you live somewhere thats not extremely humid, 80%+, and wanted to go the sleeveless route than glasspads with those properties would be better for you than the 004 because you absolutely need a sleeve with the 004.
@@CostillitaDangelo10thats false, there are speed and controlled glasspads just like cloth. Wallhack sp004 and Padsmith Blue empress are speed glasspads while glsswrks Kazemi, Padsmiths purple empress, kanami Sai and so many more offer WAY more control, too much for me personally. And before you say im capping I have 8 glasspads with 3 on the way, control 100% exist with glasspads, especially when you combo them with certain skates like ultraglide brakes.
Oh wow i did not know these guys making this are from Denmark (where i live)😆 Nice i can order directly from thee site and not worry about tax and import😆
I can agree with u I like my mouse pad as well mines the white sp004 I did have to buy a whole new mouse (viper v3 pro. Yes I did copy ur mouse lol bc I saw it worked on ur pad) for it after trying everything with the superlight2 but it is what it is I enjoy overwatch more so then ever before. I do play valorant too but mostly overwatch so the tracking is perfect. If anyone has a sensitivity recommendation for valorant im down to try it
Do you not find the lack of stopping power an issue? Especially for Valorant. Like on a game like Apex or OW2 I can totally understand but in terms of precision, I can't see it being anything but harmful towards a Tac Shooters like Val or CS.
At first you'll play like shit for sure with little stopping power but you'll get very used to it. Over time, if you practice, you'll get used to it and within a few weeks to a month or 2 you'll have no issues stopping. Do note though that your mouse skates do make quite a bit of a difference so would recommend Obsidian Pros or TJx Plastix skates.
adding onto what others have said, if your mouse is light then it shouldn't have much inertia, thus less stopping power actually needed to make it stop
I have the exact combo as him. (I have Artisan pads aswell) at first i didnt like it. It was very scratcy at first and it was hard to controll. But the second day everything changed. I think obsidians have to wear in, and when they do the controll is insane and i like it more than my Hayate Otsu! 100% recommend (but the Obsidian Pros is essential)
Cap, haven't switched back to cloth from glass for 9 months now and will never do so. Just get controlled skates if PTFE is too fast for you to handle in tac shooters
@kami3449 right, let's just use control skates so our frictionless glasspad now has friction. Just get a control pad. Only argument glass has for tac shooters is durability. There's a reason 99.9% of tac shooter pros use muddy control cloth pads
@dedeath There isn't a single glasspad that's frictionless even with PTFE feet. They ALL have friction its just 004 and Blue Empress has the least amount compared to the rest. If your complaint is that glasspads are too fast for tac shooters FOR YOU then just get controlled skates that cost 5-9 dollars for a pack of 40 that will last you years or just get a balanced/controlled glasspad instead of a 004. And no, i will never go back to cloth. I could care less about what a pro uses. Im not a pro, you're not a pro, and no one in this comment section is a pro, so instead of glazing pro setups think for yourself and what works for you instead of doing tricks on it.
This shit is getting out of hand these days, lmao. Some top players ever who's records are still untouched in some fps games never needed all this extra bs, and they used bricks for a mouse and a janky ass table with 3 legs. They will try to sell you anything lmao.
It’s a consumer thing. It’s not abt what’s the best for being pro. It’s about durability and comfortability. Has nothing to do with going pro or being a better gamer lmao, only a more comfortable one. Kinda like how mouse shape is king over weight and tech inside of it

The 003 and 004 have bery minimal differences so dont get a 004. If you're going to get another glasspad then get something thats very different than wallhacks pads like Glsswrks Kazemi, Glsswrks Hana, Padsmith purple empress, Kanami Sai, or Ultraglide Pyramid
I got the exact combo as you! The Obsidians Pros ones they wear in in after a couple of hours is great. The control and feeling is insane!! Thank you so much for making me buy the SP-004 and Viper V3 PRO!😍❤️
Don’t glass mouse pads kill your mouse feet?
Not if you don't use PTFE skates
love u jaeky 😘
glass mousepads on top

Did you get sent out the mousepad to review it and you just stored it away? Is that normal?
@@MeowTow Yeah, I already finished reviewing it, so I went back to my regular mousepad.
@@Jaeky Ah. Okay. Sounded like you just kept it. Haha.
try the tj control kin
can someone tell me why you need a sleeve for a glass mousepad thanks :)
Hi when your arm is sweaty
Your arm slips badly
Just makes the glide smoother. Especially in warmer weather your arm will stick to the glass unless you use a sleeve.
Mainly because of humidity and sweat. When you start to sweat, your hand/forearm gets hot, or you live in a humid area it will stick to the glasspad. However there are glasspads out there that have sweat and water resistance like Glsswrks Kazemi and Glsswrks Hana plus several others. So if you live somewhere thats not extremely humid, 80%+, and wanted to go the sleeveless route than glasspads with those properties would be better for you than the 004 because you absolutely need a sleeve with the 004.
Glass pads are never the same.
If you buy 3 units of it, none of them come out the same
What does it change?
Speed ?
Controle ?
@@Retileca how it actually feels. "Control" It doesn't exist
@@CostillitaDangelo10thats false, there are speed and controlled glasspads just like cloth. Wallhack sp004 and Padsmith Blue empress are speed glasspads while glsswrks Kazemi, Padsmiths purple empress, kanami Sai and so many more offer WAY more control, too much for me personally. And before you say im capping I have 8 glasspads with 3 on the way, control 100% exist with glasspads, especially when you combo them with certain skates like ultraglide brakes.
Oh wow i did not know these guys making this are from Denmark (where i live)😆 Nice i can order directly from thee site and not worry about tax and import😆
jaeky smooth aim -> Jaeky snappy aim next arc? :O
I can agree with u I like my mouse pad as well mines the white sp004 I did have to buy a whole new mouse (viper v3 pro. Yes I did copy ur mouse lol bc I saw it worked on ur pad) for it after trying everything with the superlight2 but it is what it is I enjoy overwatch more so then ever before. I do play valorant too but mostly overwatch so the tracking is perfect. If anyone has a sensitivity recommendation for valorant im down to try it
Do you not find the lack of stopping power an issue? Especially for Valorant. Like on a game like Apex or OW2 I can totally understand but in terms of precision, I can't see it being anything but harmful towards a Tac Shooters like Val or CS.
If you have good mouse control then you will be all the stopping power needed. Precision isn’t an issue at all in my personal experience.
At first you'll play like shit for sure with little stopping power but you'll get very used to it. Over time, if you practice, you'll get used to it and within a few weeks to a month or 2 you'll have no issues stopping. Do note though that your mouse skates do make quite a bit of a difference so would recommend Obsidian Pros or TJx Plastix skates.
adding onto what others have said, if your mouse is light then it shouldn't have much inertia, thus less stopping power actually needed to make it stop
I have the exact combo as him. (I have Artisan pads aswell) at first i didnt like it. It was very scratcy at first and it was hard to controll. But the second day everything changed. I think obsidians have to wear in, and when they do the controll is insane and i like it more than my Hayate Otsu! 100% recommend (but the Obsidian Pros is essential)
Anyone has the crosshair code jaeky uses ?

youll be back on cloth soon enough if you play tac shooters
valorant IS a tac shooter
@@xabu876x yes and?
Cap, haven't switched back to cloth from glass for 9 months now and will never do so. Just get controlled skates if PTFE is too fast for you to handle in tac shooters
@kami3449 right, let's just use control skates so our frictionless glasspad now has friction.
Just get a control pad. Only argument glass has for tac shooters is durability. There's a reason 99.9% of tac shooter pros use muddy control cloth pads
@dedeath There isn't a single glasspad that's frictionless even with PTFE feet. They ALL have friction its just 004 and Blue Empress has the least amount compared to the rest. If your complaint is that glasspads are too fast for tac shooters FOR YOU then just get controlled skates that cost 5-9 dollars for a pack of 40 that will last you years or just get a balanced/controlled glasspad instead of a 004. And no, i will never go back to cloth. I could care less about what a pro uses. Im not a pro, you're not a pro, and no one in this comment section is a pro, so instead of glazing pro setups think for yourself and what works for you instead of doing tricks on it.

This shit is getting out of hand these days, lmao. Some top players ever who's records are still untouched in some fps games never needed all this extra bs, and they used bricks for a mouse and a janky ass table with 3 legs. They will try to sell you anything lmao.
It’s a consumer thing. It’s not abt what’s the best for being pro. It’s about durability and comfortability. Has nothing to do with going pro or being a better gamer lmao, only a more comfortable one. Kinda like how mouse shape is king over weight and tech inside of it
He even said his main appeal is it will literally never wear down or get dirty, not that he’s competing
also can you link me the desk you have @jaeky
I’m not sure which desk it is since I got it from a family member, but you can probably find something similar on IKEA.
