CERAPAD KIN Review: Possibly The BEST Control Pad? 

Recently went with the Tiger Esports Eba. Love it so far. Would love a stealth version of it in the near future.

@@CROOKS326 It's Esp Tiger, i highly doubt you'll get Stealth edition. They just release pads with new surfaces left and right and never look back.

Want to know this as well. I have a fx zero soft and I’m really thinking about getting this pad as end game. I hate cleaning cloth pads and the feeling of cloth on my arm/wrist

If you want a slower version of the OG, then yes!

Thanks! I don't think Esports Tiger pads are quite that high level!

Wuxiang pads does seem to get quite a bit of tracktion lately. I may grab one to see what all the hype is about.

Thanks! Nowhere near to the same extent, dust has more of an issue on the OG cerapad, but I haven't had any dust/particle related trouble on the KIN. Obviously you will be more bothered by particles than on cloth pads, but less than on just bare glass it seems.

I have one - and no, it doesn’t. This isn’t really an issue with Cerapad

@@hausgaming thats great info!! Sadly 75$ shipping to Denmark(on top of original price) Will have to hope MaxGaming will stock the KIN in the future

@@hausgaming That is REALLY great to hear, because that is one of the major points that made me sell my SkyPad 2.0 XL.

Definitely. The original is much more suited for tracking games such as apex, consider selling your original one in ebay and the likes.

Odin eclipse it's actually really good mousepad for Valorant. The Saturn will feel a bit faster just FYI

@@Jazzinplayer thanks for your input. If I stick with the Odin Eclipse, what mouse feet would you suggest for the best pairing for valorant?

Glad to hear it brother!

The KIN has more static friction than Skypad 2.0, but still a low amount. The OG Cerapad has similar amount, maybe a tad more.

No. Cordura or the Fnatic JET would be superior and last many many years.

According to the official twitter account, it eats more of the mouse feet compared to traditional cloth pads but not as much as regular hardpads

Price is the same as SkyPad 3.0, actually less because they have some affiliate codes

Gotta factor in that they last forever unlike cloth pads

@@xblur17 That's nice

@@Reverae Wel, this is pretty new so we need to see about how long they will last and how good it is.

All are very good options. For consistency, I'd probably pick the MPC450. Some people mention it can wear out in 6 months, but then you'd just buy a new one. It's EXTREMELY consistent for me once you get used to it. One of the best pads ever made. I've started liking the Otsu more and I've always liked the Hien, but if consistency is the most important thing I'd choose MPC. The pad feels the same even if you spill coffee on that shit and don't clean it lmao

@@hausgaming or would you recommend any of the hard pads like the sky pad or cerapad? Thanks for the reply

Honestly if you want pure consistency without any price restrictions then just go cerapad. That thing would last you ages considering its made of ceramic and is not made of cloth so it won't be affected by humidity or dirt or it wearing down. Though MPC is a lot more economical if you factor in newer better pads that are gonna be made in the future.

Yes, KIN would fix the issue you had with Skypad. At least it should, imo it's controlled enough for any game!

@@hausgaming Awesome, thanks for your input! Just realized that shipping to EU is $70 though, so I'll just hope they'll get a deal with MaxGaming :')

@@UncraftedPlays Yeah MaxGaming should get these at some point!

Maybe you got a bad one? I heard that the Hien is the most durable from the Artisan line up, even lasting others for 4 years so it deteriorating already in just a year is concerning.

​@@Reverae The sections where I haven't used it like near the corners feel almost good as new, but the sections where i usually use it the texture/weave has smoothened out and have way way more dynamic friction ("muddy", not as bad as like a worn gsr ofc), so if I hit those spots it feels really inconsistent. The only solution for me is to try to avoid those spots by rotating the pad 180 degrees so i will use other spots more, which I've been doing for like 7 months but now those parts are worn as well and feel like dead spots too. Maybe it lasts 4 years if you don't use it as much, play very low sens so you use every part equally, and don't put pressure in game with your mouse on it at all, but I will often push in to get more control which affects the pad and skate durability more. I think a lot of ppl overestimate Hien durability, you can find a lot of stories about Hien developing "dead" spots after ~6 months, and for me after 18 months it doesn't feel great anymore at all since quite a few parts are like that. I think artisan themselves recommend on their website to change the pad every few months. I think that's a bit too often, but I see where they're coming from. The pad is pretty durable, but it's far from invincible or anything like what ppl make it out to be in terms of durability.

@@9core Yeah people have varying durability with artisans based on their use case from what I've seen, especially the dead spots. That's why I'm at this video, even if its expensive, at least it will save me frustration from having inconsistencies and having to replace a pad every year. Though it requiring a hand sleeve and not being able to push down the mousepad would be a deal breaker for people. Though getting acclimated to it would honestly be a worthwhile tradeoff

really recommend the mousepad company the texure and feel is so good and their mousepads feel about as fast as the hien

i had the same issue with the hien

Hmm, I haven't actually, might want to check it out!

@@hausgaming I see that you like hard pads too, I think you might like it. For me it got me back to the time I used my desk as my mousepad and it was fun.

@@hausgaming it is terrible imo, destroys skates feels bad to use and sticks to desk so you can’t really move it or put it back in the box

@@hausgaming yeah it has terrible durability issues as well, not that great imo.

@@hausgaming please help me 🙏: what pad is the most similar, in your opinion, to the hator pad that s1mple is using? I tried to look it up and nothing clear out there.

If it has more control then it will be worth

The OG cerapad is already slower than the Skypad and the KIN is compared here quite well to the OG cerapad in the video! It has more control

Not really comparable imo. Hard pads will just feel very different. It's not as slow as GSR/GPZ1, but it's not as fast as some faster control pads!

Depends on the skates used.

Did you try any other codes and did they work? Thanks for letting me know

Ever think about the LGG Saturn 3XL? Probably the best control pad I’ve ever used.

@@unxtold no is that actually a thing because I’d consider it since I’ve heard the Saturn is top tier

@@Thorfinn_Has_No_Enemies Yeah it’s the best. Although I have to use a arm sleeve with it because my arm sticks.

@@unxtold yea mine sticks too on my desk lol it’s wooden

Thank you bro! Yeah I do everything myself. Yeah I've thought about expanding a lot, but just haven't found the subject to do it with yet!

No, the greasy or matte look isn’t on the kin. Has metal flakes with a smooth surface.

Yes much better

Yes

they said it was coming to EU soon on twitter

@@xblur17 oh i see

Yeh, it will be available on MaxGaming

We are bringing this worldwide! We are a new company. Skypad has been around many more years.

@@peterlmad Just keep in mind MaxGaming shipping is going to be around 20-30€ so, still wildly overpriced. For 140-150€ it better aim instead of me while i lay back and watch or at least cook for me and do the laundry.

Its a niche game with a relatively small player base, it makes more sense for him to showcase Valorant/CSGO gameplay since this resonates with his viewers. I got 3k hours in Hunt, if you are looking for mousepad recommendations for Hunt forget all the speed pads and look into slow/mud pads with lots of stopping power.

@@greenteaenjoyer9068 i always play better with an mpc450 than any other pad on hunt :D

I wish you the best brother, but things did not go quite the way you are saying :). Quite the opposite. If you are not willing to listen to differing opinions than your own, it is definitely better that you won't be on my Discord. Again, all the best for you in the future and hope you find the gear that you are looking for.

@@hausgaming K I hope you best for your narrow minded quite good with your strawman argument "If you are not willing to listen to differing opinions than your own," Yea to the guy never actually listen, bring up non relevant topic Constant putting words in ppl mouth, quite a say

Ur probs that estelle dood from the discord. Arguing there is fine, problems arose from your own childish behaviour. Next time you blame others, take a good look in the mirror mate. I argue with Haus about how important is stitching compared to not having stitching and we are good :D. Often both sides of arguments can have good/correct points but people can take things the wrong way very easily.

@@Raveehh lmfao, typical ad hominem non relevant shit, you are not even there the haus is narrow minded and just put words in others ppl mouse Often using strawman argument, putting non relevant shit but okay fanboy

@@Raveehh Estelle, noooo fucking way ........ this guy is spreading false info in every fucking tech discord
