I Tried the Superglide Glass Mouse Skates

Glass mouse skates sounded like a terrible idea. Until I tried it.

You're probably one of the few tech reviewer that has authority over something like this. From the gameplay it's clear you're an FPS veteran. Good shit.

i was literally just googling a review of this awhile ago. Hopefully, we can see a 1-month review of this. I know you've used it for 1 week heavily but would still love to hear again about it after a month.

I'm a medium control pad user and these feet were way to fast out of the box, the first week I was using them on slower and slower pads and eventually I went all the way down to a worn GSR trying to get any level of control back, but the only thing that changed on cloth control pads was the glide felt slower but the near 0 static friction stayed the same. I ended up switching to hybrid speed pads like the Venus and Hien and had a much better time on those, even if those pads are not my cup of tea normally. After 3 weeks I felt like I was clawing my way back up to where I was on PTFE, a combination of them slowing down and me getting used to them. After replacing them with Corepads my performance was instantly better. My advice if you don't like them after 2 weeks don't waste your time just go back to ptfe, they were worth trying and are super unique feeling, but not for everyone.

I own these glass skates for a few months and yeah they do feel much better after a week. They are too fast out of the box but after a week they became slightly slower but they never slow down further (plateaued), they are super consistent and should last longer than PTFE which will slow down more and more over time.

The speed after a week makes it usable for CSGO, but out of the box it is too fast.

One of my favorite YouTube accounts. Unique, insightful, fun to watch, professional, and way underrated.

I enjoy glass feet on slightly heavier mice. Definitely reduces the resistance the extra weight adds.

I had huge benefits in cs go from using them. All those little movements you notice with them happen with ptfe skates too, they are just slower and will lightly impact your aim. With the superglides I can notice my little flaws better and correct them.

I played faceit from the first hour and I've been performing better than usual from the start.

This review 100% resonates with my personal experience with the superglides. I personally do not use these feet unless I’m tracking stuff. I would recommend only buying these for a secondary mouse which is only used for aim trainers or really aim heavy games. In any other scenario these feet feel annoying quickly.

Holy shit the hairdryer test is genius!!

this channel is proof that good content always succeeds. seems like a few months ago when you were at 100k! love your content, its always refreshing to hear a familiar accent

I've been using them for months on a gpro superlite, and I absolutely love them. One thing to be aware of is that if your pad has moisture pr dampness, the moisture will slow down the mouse on the pad. Recently, I washed my pad and couldn't wait to get that new feeling again, but it was super sticky because the pad was still holding a bit of moisture. I used a blow dryer to get that last bit out, and it felt perfect again.

Hair dryer test was genius! Had no clue they'd even move at all from something like that.

Optimum Tech: ‘As you can see my aim is complete garbage here’

Also Optimum Tech: *Shows off aim equal to me on my best of days*

Me: 😫

The Superglides V1 and V2 for my mouse has worn down my ParaSpeed XXL Cordura pad with a shinier texture where it is muddy and hard to do microadjustments on. I switched mouse and kept the PTFE and rotated my mousepad for a clean surface and no wear so far with PTFE skates. So buyers beware!

[JUGH]

I was scared to try them on gpx so I bought a copy for g703 and tried them on LGG saturn and once they break in they’re surprisingly nice to use even in CS and VAL.

Glass skates plus a fast cloth pad is a deadly combo, using the skates on a GPW superlight and a fnatic dash mouse pad made my aim a lot more deadly, it gives me speed and smoothness yet just enough control for sudden flicks and stops. It is a God bless for a low-sens gamer like me, CSGO at 480eDPI and Apex at 720eDPI for Apex.

I just bought the Pulsar Xlite V2 Wireless and the Superglides. The mouse came a day before the glides and it felt amazing, the glides however, take away any feedback you get from the mouse pad. I was really excited to try them out but since I only play fps games I don't think I am going to keep them on. I have gone down significantly with my DPI and I still notice my aim walking, having to try and compensate with dragging a finger doesn't feel natural. I had thought when I got them that I was going to ceramic coat the glass to prevent micro scratches....that would have made these things impossible to use. Great idea and I love the design they implement into the glass but nobody sees it.

you are one of the only tech youtubers that are good at gaming

[riskonthesidelines]

Hey! I have a superglide superlight and I use a artisan hein. I would have to agree with them being way too fast, I was almost nudged into taking them off after a few hours. However, the micro adjustments that they allow is ridiculously advantageous after break in. I mainly play valorant and I love them, don't give up on them without letting them break in!
