Which one would be best for MOBA’s like Dota 2?
Vaxee PD vs Vaxee PC vs Saturn pro vs Qck Balance, which 1 should i buy for CS2? Anyone tried more than 1 of those?
Ima stick with my LGG Saturn Pro it's a good mix of speed and control because with flicks in counterstrike you need to be able to stop and change quickly. Good to see steelseries do something these will be very price competitive with similar brands.
Got one of this on whatnot yesterday! Can’t wait
3:44 your pad is not laying flat there, that's not a good sign
Surprised to see the “control” pad being compared to the Artisan Hayate Otsu, which I feel is fairly quick.
50 dollars??? omg very expensive
So what happened to the rebranding?
Artisan…like artisan bread? Why we use that word on a mouse pad?
these are priced very well, always good with more competition! they should make a pro version with mid, soft and xsoft base and flat packaged
Should I get the control/balanced or the Corsair MM350 PRO?
Thanks for the review Frank. In my experience the rougher texture pads like the Hien were really fast, and smoother textures like the old QcK were slower in comparison. But it seems like thats reversed here. Another thing is that the Qck control pad was compared to the Hayate Otsu that I mained for years, and I cannot really call the hayate otsu a control pad as its not really slow at all with quite low static and dynamic friction, so its an interesting comparison. I wonder if this is just an issue with the naming, but I might try out the control pad to verify this👍🏻
The pricing is insane. Only $50 for a full desk XL pad. That's twice the price of the LGG pads. Could have saved me $50 instead of buying the LGG saturn pro XXL.
I've been using their thicker Qck Heavy pad for years and I love the cushion it provides for my wrists while still being very smooth. I hope they continue making it.
Not even 50 x 50. Even Artisan finally made XXL
Make a review of the Cerakey glass mousepad
I have been looking for a new pad and enjoyed my glorious ice, so this came in at the perfect time. Already ordered the speed xl.
That sounds gimmicky as hell speed balance control.
4:10 If anything, the QCK Speed is for LOW DPI, not high DPI because you have to cover a greater distance to flick. On the other hand, you want more control if you have a high DPI…
we need 500×500
I remember that Razer also had mouse pads with the model names 'Speed' and 'Control' of the Razer brand Goliathus. So in fact, in my opinion, Steel Series is a kind of plagiarism because they also use those model names. Or Razer did not request the patent on those model names.
It's definitely a pad that's lower in overall performance and quality than the Artisan pad, but it's only half the price. The price forgives everything
Speed pad for higher sensitivity/dpi? Shouldn't it be low sens/dpi? (:
Need pad atleast 35×24
Nothing agains Steelseries I bet the pads are good, but LTT desk pads are cheaper and larger. Idk about the gaming texture tho, enough for a casual at least
"the smaller large version"
