the skypad 4 is a wonderfully smooth mousepad that i have enjoyed using a lot. but i'm also looking forward to not using it anymore.

i've been watching a lot of ‪@BladeBias‬ recently and i've rly enjoyed the casual style of review the balisong community likes to do: satisfying flipping, unprofessional commentary/production, and is mostly just a likable dork talking to a camera for a hobby they're passionate about. with how rare gameplay is in peripheral reviews these days, i thosught it would be cool to attempt to do something similar with fpses where i try and target switch on gunfire reborn while giving a review of whatever peripheral i'm using!
hope u enjoy, i'll probably do a few of these even if no one rly cares abt it

I love these kind of raw thoughts videos, please do more! I'd love to hear your thoughts on your other peripherals as well c:

timestamps below if the chapters don't work. a few things i forgot to mention: - my aim is noticeably more fluid when i can put a little bit of concentration into it because the surface offers such low static friction. micros are very fast and smooth. - i actually really like wrist/ftip aim with this thing, it feels super free and consistent. 0:00 glasspads i've used and my exp 0:40 why glass? 1:49 glasspads as a training tool 3:30 the improvements the skypad 4 makes 5:25 skypad 4 and skate compatibility 7:40 "unboxing" experience 8:20 size 8:58 did the skypad 4 help my aim? 9:33 how the skypad 4 helped my flicks 10:40 difficulties with wrist/arm transitions 11:44 a subconscious change in technique 13:32 unknowingly applying more tension to the mouse 14:27 was the skypad 4 an effective training tool? 15:00 is there such a thing as "too fast"? 16:46 will i keep maining this pad and who is it for? 18:00 closing thoughts

@lalalulu_ 22 дня назад

love how detailed you explain everything, i feel like i can finally relate to someone regarding this whole topic, ive went through around 15 cloth pads in total and have always been frustrated with consistency and being able to find smth that fits me long term, alot of the ppl i talked to have never been too conscious about peripherals, the last one ive tried was a cordura pad, which i felt like was alot more consistent and has lasted me longer than any other pad before. Skypad has a drop coming up, ive wanted to try a glass pad for a while, for all the reasons you ve mentioned, hope i can get used to it.

@aesth1cc 2 месяца назад

Consistency is also the term I'd describe it with, although I only ever used a superglide pad to compare it to. It's also a lot more quiet that that one and I think sound is 80% of how smooth the pad actually feels to use, amplified by the fact I'm using open-back headphones

bought the 3.0 when they were having that big sale prior to the 4.0 release a few months ago, always wanted to try glass and I'm really glad I have now. mb in something like CS it wouldn't help that much but tf2 sniper flicks and scout scatter/pistol tracking feels much much better, same in quake. can +1 to the 3.0 making me feel like the princess and the pea when a single dust particle lands on it lol it's super noticeable, I end up cleaning it briefly before every session usually with regards to wrist/arm transitions @ 10:40 on my 3.0 I found the same issue of wrist flicks feeling quite different to larger arm flicks and especially tracking. for me what made a big difference was raising my seat a few extra inches so less of my arm weight is on the glass itself, made it so that now I don't even use a sleeve provided the environment isnt too humid also re: picking up ur mouse a lot, idk if you still use accel but that's something that def comes with it. since if you flick your crosshair right to a point and then slowly move left back to where your crosshair started at, your mouse won't be in the same spot and over time it can sort of wander across the pad

I could listen to you talk all day, lovely vibes and video! So detailed and well articulated all while displaying such impressive skill! On a separate note, have you tried out the darmoshark m5 mouse? Would love to know ur thoughts if so.

@jvnecat 6 дней назад

aw thank you!! maybe i'll do another one of these after all haha. i've not tried it but it looks quite similar to the hsk plus, which i liked but didn't love. i'm actually quite keen to try the m3 micro though, i feel like it could be an interesting ftip option that has the ability to engage palm contact when the situation calls for it

@gearvanguard 6 дней назад

@@jvnecat appreciate you sharing your thoughts! Always wanted to try these shapes out since they look so interesting hahah. Finding myself with less and less time to experiment or consume more general points from different creators, so it's really nice to hear about something I've never even thought about with so much time and thought, really pleasant to listen to too! Hope u are able to do more!

@dsdinova 2 месяца назад

@@jvnecat i like it a lot! ive had to swap to claw grip since the lack of finger microadjustments with palm grip was not working out very well, but my tracking is feeling a lot more fluid now. my jade skates are stuck in transportation limbo, so i cant comment on that

What sens and dpi do you play on? I am also a fingertip grip players well and have a hard time finding other players like myself to compare my settings to! I love seeing how other ftip players have their settings set up! Great review btw, very calm and relaxing video!

thank you! i play between 25 and 45 cm in most games, would go lower if i ever played tac fps.

@neocopy_ 3 месяца назад

I have been holding off on getting the 4.0 because of its size :/ my glass addicted brain is sad. I love this style of video btw hoping to see more of these reviews gives me "you and your friend in a cat cafe debating on what afps to duel on" vibes lol :3

@twpsyn 3 месяца назад

for me I don't see there being a big enough reason to switch from my 3.0 until it breaks, certainly not for the price of getting another glass pad

@neocopy_ 3 месяца назад

Yeah I'm currently using the glaze and superglide, very happy with both. I more want the 4.0 as I enjoy experimenting and cba to resell it when they make a larger one

@jvnecat 3 месяца назад

@@neocopy_ you say "when" but the skypad 3 was out for years and never got a large size 😭 you'd probably have fun with the skypad 4 but i don't think you would main it. how is the glaze holding up?

@neocopy_ 3 месяца назад

let me have my copium in peace 😭... glaze is holding up great, its starting to feel faster and smoother but idk if this is because of the uhmwpe tape infusing with the pad when I practice speedts the tape gets pretty warm LOL, there is a glaze ultra in the works so kinda hyped for that.

@AclelessKai 19 дней назад

I tested it for a year and it definitely is too fast It's to the point I stopped using the Skypad and will now be going to the Artisan Zero and I am by no means bad at a game but you can easily overshoot with this mousepad and it was to the point I can't enjoy playing in grandmaster in ow anymore because I have no real stopping power. you are right about the gripping issue, owning a skypad made me completely get rid of it and when I switched back to a soft mousepad I no longer gripped my mouse to death so this is an in general good video.

@AclelessKai 19 дней назад

my personal opinion this is a good pad but it's not good for consistency if you are an FPS player but if you use it for things that don't need super precise aim then this mousepad is for you
