This pad (the XL 3.0) is big. I've never run out of room on it, and, as a result, my formerly ever-present paranoia that I'm going to run off the pad, which previous pads instilled into me, is gone. It might seem like a little thing, but it means that if I need to sweep the mouse large distances, I have the confidence to take the action without any hesitation that I'll run out of space. The pad itself is nicely finished. The edges are rounded and don’t feel sharp anywhere, the surface itself feels extremely smooth and natural to the touch, and the whole surface is perfectly level. Obviously this isn’t a very portable mousepad, so if you’re someone who is always gaming in different locations you should really consider if it’s worth the hassle to transport it all the time, but if you decide that it is you can rest assured that it’s decently sturdy. I didn’t throw it to the floor or anything, but I treated it like I would any regular (hard) mousepad and it stood up to that just fine.
Speaking of friction, there is so little of it that games like Counter Strike and Valorant are pretty difficult to play on this pad due to the need for accurate recoil control. I would definitely consider something with more friction if you're primarily into those sorts of games.SkyPAD 」と名付けられたこのオリジナルマウスパッドは、多くのゲーマーから高い評価を受けました。2018年には、より良い製品を生み出すため、PC周辺機器メーカー大手の「Logitech」に勤務。その経験を活かして開発した「 SkyPAD 2.0 XL 」は、今もなお人気が高い製品です。 Besides the speed and smoothness, the glass surface comes with another important advantage, that being the sheer durability that it has. The SkyPad will most likely never change in feeling and will be able to maintain its speed indefinitely. There are variables like you damaging the surface somehow that might influence that statement but under normal circumstances, this pad will last forever.
SkyPAD 3.0 XLは非常にスムースに滑って、咄嗟の動きにもかなり合わせやすいなと感じました。持続的なトラッキングAIMもかなりやりやすく思いましたね。ハードパッドの特性を掴んだ後は良い感触でした。This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items.

The SkyPAD is the most expensive mousepad I’ve ever tested, and with an MSRP of a whopping 120 dollars there’s not a lot of room for error with this product.
I wasn't too impressed on the first couple of days, but once I got used to it, its quite nice. I would say that this is worth it only if you have a very light mouse (<60 grams), as stopping the mouse accurately is still effortless at lighter weights (its not plain smooth glass, theres a microscopic satin finish on the surface, it kind of lightly sparkles in light like quality car paint does) - but the low friction does become an issue for heavier ones. The cost of the pad is still on the pricier side, so considering the increased wear on PTFE mouse feet, I'd only consider it cost effective it if you can swap out your mice feet to something durable like polished ceramic (eg. a Glorious mouse). I previously had an Endgame cordura pad which is pretty good, but the glass pad is definitely on a whole other level for glide and ease of moving the mouse around. My previous Endgame pad was also very easy to keep clean compared to a cloth pad (I often eat at my desk and its still very clean after 2 years), but with this glass pad you barely need to try to keep it clean. Dust? Hair? Cat fur? Just swipe your hand over it, spotless in 1 second. Spills? Just wipe it with a cloth, done. Bought this as I was tired of buying cloth pads only to replace them every few years due to degredarion. Having cats means that I frequently need to wipe fur and other foreign substances away from it, which over time causes damage to these pads. With this one being glass, fur wipes away very easily, and skin oil and other substances can be washed away with regular window cleaner. No need to worry about the pad degrading after cleaning.
A glass mouse pad is not the stupidest thing you could spend $100 on.
The SkyPAD 3.0 is the fastest pad I’ve ever tested, and if you are looking for a frictionless gliding experience this could really be it. It does come with a number of caveats, however. The pad’s hard and extremely smooth surface is completely unforgiving towards inconsistencies, be it with your mouse skates or your surface (think hairs, dander, …) so you will want to keep a cloth handy. Make sure it’s not a wet cloth, though, since the surface obviously won’t handle humidity very well due to the fact that it can’t absorb any of it. And last, but not least, it’s also a very loud mousepad. It’s not that bad when just gliding around with your mouse, but if you’re often resetting your mouse after swiping there’s definitely a lot of noise going on. This pad will punish your mistakes hard; BUT, it's not the pad's fault, it's yours. I play on a higher mouse sense than most people do and I had to lower my in-game sense about 10-20% on a few games because I was overshooting. APEX ingame 3.0@400dpi)なのでちょっと持て余してしまいましたが、CS:GOやVALORANTのようなゲームをプレイする ローセンシユーザーにはピッタリなんじゃないかなと思います。この大きさでも表面にムラが無いのは良かったです。 I've seen some reviewers comment that they need an arm sleeve to use this pad adequately. This doesn't jive with my experience, but I play in a cool room with a fan blowing directly on me. You MIGHT need a sleeve if you play in a hot environment as moisture on the pad from sweat will cause minor interference to glide. But if you aren't sweating, you should be fine. The skin from your hand or wrist touching the pad should not in itself cause any sort of issue. So the verdict? I'm loving it so far. The texture is smoother and quieter. The sound it makes is just a lot more pleasing to the ear than version 2.0, but it is still noisier than other hard pads although it doesn't bother me at all. The 2.0 was not. It's thin enough that it doesn't bother my forearm on the edge. Using a sleeve is necessary to me if any important aiming is involved. Lastly the speed. Is it 50% faster than the 2.0? It definitely feels like it compared to the 'slow' 2.0 that I had. I'm using a set of new corepads. I would say it feels just as fast as using G Float ceramic feet with a new polycarbonate pad. Very little static friction. It's so smooth too.
Something else that can get annoying is the sound. When you swipe and put down your mouse on a cloth pad you might hear a muted thud that doesn’t really bother anyone, but the SkyPAD is definitely a loud one. It’s not as loud as someone who’s going to town on a glass cutting board or anything like that, but if someone was using this near me while I was trying to work or relax it would definitely bother me. That’s doesn’t necessarily have something to do with the performance of the product, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’ve got housemates to consider. If you are the sweatier type and an arm aimer I would also strongly recommend a gaming sleeve. That’s because of the fact that, once your forearm gets a little sweaty, it will drastically change your experience when swiping. Think of running your body/hand over a glass pane when it’s completely dry versus when it’s still a bit wet from showering or swimming. It feels different, and it might impact your consistency.
Skypad’s regular Mousepad 3.0 is a much more manageable size. It’s quite a bit smaller than the Atlas, and is what most people would probably consider a “standard” or medium-sized mouse pad. Because it’s glass, it doesn’t feel quite as small as a similarly-sized cloth mouse pad, since smaller swipes go further. It’s also not quite as smooth as the Atlas, so I did find myself moving my mouse over a larger area than I did with the Atlas (but still smaller than with a non-glass mouse pad). What I’m trying to say is that if you’re used to larger mouse pads, you’ll probably still have an adjustment period if you move down — the Mousepad 3.0’s glass surface doesn’t completely negate the size.
Great Deal
