I have 3 x SkyPad 3.0, a Cerepad and Cerepad Kin, and 2 x Pulsar SuperGlides that just arrived last week. I agree… Pulsar SuperGlides for me. The lack of flex, the adherent bottom surface… and the smooth glide is my perfect combo. It simply feels like a solid piece of… glass
This is a TRUE glass connoisseur 👌😎 question tho I've had people ask me about the Kin, how does it stacks against these two? Is it still considerably slower ?
@@UpgradeLemonade Regular Cerepad is like a refined SkyPad 3.0, its fast but not quite as fast as SkyPad 3. The Kin is not quite as fast as regular Cerepad (though still fast) but the coating on Kin gives it more control/stopping power. Cerepad seem to be less sensitive to the humidity and human sweat of hand and arm on its surface (picking those Holman oil smears). I must say, though, I have not seen any smearing while using the SuperGlide. In my preference scheme, its Pulsar > SkyPad3 = Cerepad Kin > Cerepad. I rate this as a very subjective ranking based on value to me: I love the Pulsar for its whole package, and then its either the speed of SkyPad 3 (comparable to Pulsar) vs the stopping power of the relatively slower Cerepad Kin.. and then the Cerepad. I guess I favor pure glass vs ceramic. Maybe some day someone will get me a hard mousepad surface that is near frictionless that will allow for glass mouse skates? LoL As an FYI, i mentioned I got two (Large) SuperGlifdes, one red, the other black. I lay them next to each other to have a single large 840mm x 330mm area of glass for my Logitech G502x plus and Logitech G915 keyboard. My keyboard (feet extended) does NOT slip or slide on the surface of the (red) SuperGlide pad at all… mildly surprised. I must say the completely covered lower layer of silicon rubber makes for a great gripping surface for the SuperGlide mousepads, a feature I like more than I would have thought.
well made video and clean set up, great explanation. i own both pads and multiple mice with various skates and you took the words out of my mouth. bravo 🎉
super cool to see shout outs for other creator's codes. honestly, the red skypad went with would make me pick it of the two. hopefully they do another run of those!
incredible production quality. i already own a skypad so i wont be upgrading but my skypad has been very slow for awhile now hence why i am looking at a superglide pad. thank you for clarifying that they are both very similar. i will need to figure out what is wrong with my pad/mouse to remedy it.
Appreciate the kind words 🙏 haven't heard of Skypad slowing down... I'd try a glass safe cleaner or a cleaner safe for electronics (screens) give it a good wipe down. Other than that I'd also swap your mouse skates out if you haven't in a 3-5 months. Glass mousepads eat PTFE mouse skates up faster and you can experience more slowdown because of that. Good replacement skates are the regular Corepads , plus you get 2 in a package
@@UpgradeLemonade i have to essentially scrub the pad and the mouse feet with a microfibre cloth to get it back to feeling good but then that lasts for maybe 2 minutes before its back to feeling muddy. i thought it was humidity but im not sweating or anything. so i have orderd new mouse feet incase its just because my current ones are too old. thank you though ill give the glass cleaner a go. hopefully it gives some remedy even if for a short period. if not it will cross that off the list and help me figure out what to try next
The one thing I wish skypad had was the bottom of the super glide. The 4 tiny sticky corner things seem like a bad idea for me. Esp since I have a lot of experience with such things coming loose over time. Esp since it's more expensive than the superglide you'd think it would also have a fully covered bottom. This would also protect the paint ont he bottom from scratching.
Awesome review dude! I love my Skypad but one of the complaints I have is the noise. Great point you make about the base! Might have to try the Pulsar 🔥
I haven't tried the Skypad, but I ordered a Superglide which should arrive tomorrow. I chose it because the base looks way more stable, it looks like the pad will stick to the desk as if it's essentially just a part of the desk. Looking forward to trying it.
I just got the Superglide. First glass mousepad. All I can say is if your skates are scratched or you have G- Floats or Superglides. You now have to change all of them. Other than that, I got the white L and it's pretty nice so far. Added control skates to my Xlites V2 and its smooth and quick, but not too quick. You do have more control than you would think.
Do not use glass or ceramic skates on glass pads, itll be an issue down the road with the mousepad surface since glass skates are a hard material compared to PTFE skates. But ya I will say your PTFE skates themselves will wear down significantly faster on glass pads cause the hardness difference. It's just 1 con of glass mousepads. And any dust or hair on the surface of a glass mousepad will make a scratchy sound when you glide on the surface. Not really performance affecting can just feel annoying
Super good video man, I also love more vertical room since I arm aim. I was wondering if you tested your skin on the SuperGlide, I saw a ton of people say it's better than the SkyPAD. I would also prefer that since I don't like using arm sleeves.
Appreciate it man 🍻 and yeah I did it's pretty much exactly the same. If you sweat or your room is hot they'll function the same. Even if it's maybe a little better at the start???the glass will warm up over a few hours of gaming regardless. I seen some ppl say it's better but gotta factor it's winter and far less humidity in general for ppl testing now. But here in Florida it's still pretty warm in my office during the day.
@@UpgradeLemonade Yeah I tend to be warm because of my weight but I live in AC so I always have a controlled environment which is nice. But happy to see you enjoy both pads equally, I didn't think there was much you could do with glass other than price and size lol. Keep up the content man super easy to watch content ❤
@@ColossaI yeah I think itll just depend on the day on how much the humidity your arm creates will affect you. I agree though I thought Skypad had it covered but Pulsar did their homework! Glad you enjoyed the vid
Another amazing video from the homie. Great video as it directly compared the pulsar pad to its biggest competitor, and the ending advising people who are unaware was also a smart play. Keep it up man 🤍
yeah I still love what SkyPAD does and how it performs, in the end I dont want people to feel like they got a "bad" pad ... really appreciate the kind words and support brother 😘
Would this be an upgrade to let’s say a G440 Logitech hard mousepad? I recently got back into gaming after a year and a half and having hard time deciding which pad to go with. I like the Lethal Gaming Gear Venus/Mercury. I’m more of a wrist player, hybrid hold and 900 dpi. Any advice would greatly be appreciated.
Yeah I think both of these would be the logical step up from a plastic hard pad, they'll provide more smooth speed and are more durable. Speed pads like these and even your g440 are really quite nice for wrist aimers . Same goes with things like the LGG mercury in the hybrid pad side of things . You're in the right path 🤘
got my SkyPad 3.0 XL barely used for 55€ shipped, thats probably the only reason i wont switch to the SuperGlide, i just cant see myself paying 100+€ for a Mousepad atm
I own the SkyPad 2.0 with the intention of upgrading to either the 3.0 or the SuperGlides. What would you recommend between the two? I’m leaning towards the Superglide for a change since most reviewers are consistently stating there are no huge differences between the two.
For me the recommendation is Superglide, you just get more value for your $. it isnt a night or day difference and youll perform just as well on either (in terms of how they're overall glide feels) but I really like the Superglide. Skypad is dope though especially if you can find one of their collab designs
@@UpgradeLemonade Thank you very much for your input. I already went with the Superglide as per your recommendation =D Can’t wait for the Atlas as well.
@@illusry7631The superglides felt like a let down to be honest. Because I’m living in a very humid area, it was a nightmare to play on the superglides, so I actually went back to the SkyPAD. Now, I went with the Atlas a couple of days ago, and so far, I’m favoring it over these two. It’s so smooth and it provides some form of control that is absent when using the skypad or the superglides
What would you say about some people claiming that your arm does not stick to the superglide as opposed to the skypad, also is there any concerns about the durability of the superglide in your experience?
I mean everyone is going to build up heat/sweat differently depending on the individual and their own environment. But for me the humidity build up or stickiness was the same there was no difference. If you are sweatier or your room is warmer I'd say wear a sleeve with a hard pad always especially as we get into the summer . Durability concerns nope, it's incredibly well built of course I'll follow up if things change
@@UpgradeLemonade hey, so i would like to thank you for you answer and also give you a little update on what I did. I ended up getting the skypad for 2 reasons, 1. the skypad was actually cheaper for me after using one ofthe codes, that is because they had cheaper shipping options and 2. the skypad is tried and trusted by many in the community while pulsar are known to have some QC issues with their superglide skates and their X2 mice and the price was to high for me to take the risk.
Hey Lemonade, love your reviews man! I've been playing on a Skypad 3.0 on and off for the past 8 months, but I've been maining them over my Hien and other cloth pads for the past 2 months now and I mainly play Valorant, and tbh I couldn't have asked for a better pad. The surface never changes and microadjustments are super easy + it's incredibly fun to play on. To anyone wondering if they should get a glass pad though, I must say that the Pulsar one seems like the better deal like you said in the review, assuming it has the same long-term durability as a Skypad, which we unfortunately don't know as of yet.
Appreciate the kind words and your insight Xanny :) Yeah in the end you cant go wrong with either choice, just have to decide whats important for you individually. Thanks for supporting the channel :)
Do we need to use sleeve on glass pad?!? How about the sweating when not using sleeve? First time using glass pad, which pad i should choose! Pulsar or Skypad!?
@@tiendatnguyenhua4283 I would recommend using a sleeve if you get hot or your room is humid. Especially if you game for long hours. A sleeve keeps it feeling smooth/consistent. And I'd recommend the Pulsar if it's your first glass pad, save yourself a few dollars it's a very good pad
How’s the speed and durability cause I’m looking for something faster to try and I don’t want a muddy feeling or breakdown of the pad since it’s pulsar ?
The composition and surface is not like their superglide glass skates , plus the bigger issue with their skates is how they wore down mousepads and handled humidity on cloth surfaces. This is essentially made the same exact way as a Skypad. There should be no durability concerns. Speed wise it's essentially the same with maybe a small touch of Control over a Skypad, but it's very subtle . Definitely not 'slow'
@@UpgradeLemonade Sounds good it's a shame that lethal gaming gear is out of stock, I don't know if is worth buying from them directly. Also, how's the mouse skates do they hold up cause the biggest issue I've heard was that the pad destroys the skates, and you have to change them every few months. While on the other hand some people had no issue and used the same skates from 6 months to a year?
@@poonzy7112 hard to say cause I dont main glass pads. When im in between reviewing pads I go to my Xten Control. different skates will wear differently, plus users personal grip/pressure will affect that. In general tho yes glass pads do eat up PTFE skates faster
I did speak about it. Skypad maybe by a little but I never felt the Superglide felt slow. they are both glass pads and will feel quicker than any cloth pad . the speed difference is really small here its not worth focusing only on that
I just got my superglide the other day but it feels pretty slow and my mouse doesnt move as fast as i assumed and from what i saw from reviews. do you think thats a issue with my skates or the pad?
Compared to what , like what pad did you main before it? It should feel close to a Skypad . Your skates can affect it especially if their worn out old but it as long as your using some nice 3rf party skates like Corepads or tiger ice should feel smooth
@@UpgradeLemonade i used to use a pulsar paraspeed v2 and if i go back to that pad its faster i just bought wraith hoverpads for my starlight recently they are 0.8mm thick i kinda feel a weird scratchy feeling sometimes but on my mm710 with stock skates it feels a bit faster but no where near what i feel like it should be
i feel like over time its getting a bit faster. i got the pad friday but with any video i watch the mouse glides super fast and for me its just not the case
@@UpgradeLemonade ru-vid.combQ8p4-J-BRk this is around the speed im at mine is a tad faster but i can make a video of me spinning my mouse on both of my pads
I only tried Corepad air skatez with it, BTL a s tiger ice They all worked well to be honest. But regular Corepads are generally a little more controlled than the ones I used so you may like that
I just want to make everyone aware (since many have/will ask), the finishing and structure of the Superglide mousepad is NOT the same as their glass mouse skates. Its finished almost identically to a Skypad. I have used the Skypad on/off for 1 month and the Superglide for 1 week. No change in performance. I have friends who have mained the Skypad brand for over a year and had 0 signs of wearing . Will it never wear? I mean technically it shouldnt, but anything can happen. But you should see zero sign of wearing on either of these pads for MUCH MUCH longer than a cloth pad.
@@UpgradeLemonade I was actually not thinking about the superglides skates. I meant more so that skypads been out for yrs and have shown to have longevity while superglide pads just came out and we don’t know how it’s going to be in half a yr to a yr yet. But yea since ppl have said it’s pretty similar then hopefully it should be good in the long run
Found it on Amazon, comes in a few cool designs. It fits like a compression sleeve so its a tighter fit than other sleeves but its soft amzn.to/3lxUUOO
@@UpgradeLemonade i dont want it to be too fast. i want it like using a medium cloth pad with superglides but wqithout the humidity fucking everything up all the time. cuz right now i can play for an hour after that i gotta let me pad cool down so the mnoisture evaporates. That's not an issue i've heard about with glass pads.
@@UpgradeLemonade yes but I don't speak too much English so I don't understand everything I use google translation so that's why I'm asking the question in the comments at least I can re-translate your answer lol
@@shizenpc ohhhh! Sorry that makes sense. I like the superglide the best. I think the Skypad is just a little faster but it's not a big difference. The superglide is less money, slightly bigger sizes, much better base material (big silicone), little quieter In terms of better life, I have zero problems with Skypad or superglide. It's glass so it should never really wear out , so they are the same
I mean my office is above our garage and I live in a humid state so it's hotter than most . Plus since I wrist aim my hand builds up heat in the same spot. Personally speaking I always wear a sleeve and recommend it for glass. It's just the nature of being a non porous surface that moisture will build up more than cloth . thanks for the love from Greece ❤️🍻
It's really hard to say because it'll depend on how heavy of a grip and pressure you apply. How many hours you play etc. To be safe and have a really nice consistent feel always I'd say between 3-5 months replace them
@@UpgradeLemonade ok i dont like they made these product so rare ! A diversity in the style can be cool ! i means the aim to have custom style for your skypad is cool but the skypad is not like clothes you wil not collect them like funko pop and it's expensive
Snagged a like new red one from someone on the mosemarket reddit for less then a new skypad. If you want the red or pink definitely post a buying ad there
@@UpgradeLemonade ended up snagging one off someone on reddit for less than the cost of a new current white and black model. Now to resist also buying a superglide pad lol
