I kinda went full 180 on glass feet 😱, I FULL ON torture myself to get extensive use out of every product, so I can bring high detail to you guys! Get Opera GX for free here: mtchm.de/qehtv
One theory is the glass is picking up the ptfe material off of the pad... I just got mine and agree totally with your assessment. In my case.. I bought a new mousepad that I will only utilize with the glass skates and I put it away when not in use so that dust is minimal... I'm also in a very dry climate around 15% humidity most days... This may also affect the glass skates.
I found that on my starlight, my mousepads felt less textured but still not as smooth as described in the video. So I think the smoothness has more to do with the size/shape of the superglides. In my Hien and Otsu, I could definitely feel the texture of the Hien still and just barely on the Otsu. And on both they still feel decently controlled, at least after a week and a half. When I first got them, they were definitely too fast.
Your videos always kickass, but the editing on this one slapped! Great thoughts about the glass skates!
but how to get rid of that "muddy" feeling when moving my mouse around then? i really hate that feeling and makes me dont wanna play cs, im thinking glass skates would solve that issue
I have been using Lethals skates on my np-01s and outset for about a month. They are very fast and I know what you mean about the double clicking on desktop! They haven't slowed down yet and I'm a bit fidgety myself, so they're are a bit tough. I do agree as well that it kind of defeats the purpose of some pads. I'm trying my artisan zero now with np-01s to see if it gets a little slower. I did use gpx with corepads recently and did excellent in valorant, so starting to think I might be a ptfe kinda guy, but not totally sure if I don't pull a 180 like you 😉.
I "need" an updated ec2-c video. I'm still waiting for mine and a video about it would ease my suffering. Glass skates are interesting, but they mess my general use. I had to take them off because they made all my pads feel the same, so if you get used to glass skates, mousepad importance drops. Great content!
running these skates on my xlite wireless and on a brand new gsr se pad. it took about 3/4 days for them to slow down, i feel a lot more smooth and in control of my tracking than the first day of using them. compared to the stock ptfe skates on my gpx sl with an infinity odin v2 pad(hien clone) i most definitely prefer this new set up. speedy, but more in control. not to mention this combo is just ridiculously smooth, feels like butter. of course i'm waiting for them to break in just a bit more, but i can tell once they're fully broken in, it's a whole level of control one can think of. but that's just me, different people may have different experiences. anyone reading this comment, give them a try but i definitely recommend using a control pad with these skates, otherwise your aim is just gonna be everywhere.
Can u give us another re-test / opinions on how the superglides feel now? did they slow down even more?
kinda want to get a set for my outset but i just can't justify spending like $50 in my country on glass feet when its like $5 to get tiger arcs or corepads or any others off aliexpress. are you planning to do any sort of update on how they fare over the next few months in terms of glide speed?
Would GPXS Superglide Glass on a Artisan FX Zero Soft mousepad be better than the Corepad Skatez? I mainly play CSGO, and currently have installed the Corepad Skatez on my Logitech G Pro X Superlight. I can feel my Corepad Skatez is starting to wear out a bit. Just got Superglide Glass, but I'm afraid to remove my Corepads and install the Superglide Glass, if they're no good. I don't have a backup Corepad.
I'm really sceptical thinking over the superglides. Thank you for the Info as always
did you paint your ec2-c? if yes, are there any pictures of it?
Superglides are doin pretty well for me. Superglides on the Superlight on a G640, 680 eDPI. Top fragging against Radiants in Val. Superlights are super picky for me, G640 feels perfect for me. I've tried the HyperX Fury S Pro, Speed, Glorious Fire pads and the G640 just feels right.
Are u using some kind of mouse skates atm ? Or just standard ?
I wonder if it has to do with the polish they do? I wonder how the lethalgaming glass skates would do, heard they dont have the breakin period like the superglides do
Great video as always!
Had a pretty similar experience so far and really interested to see how yours turn out months from now. I'm using viper ultimate skates on the hati-s and I actually did get feedback on longer swipes even from the start(on the Hien soft), so perhaps the smaller skates differs from larger skates with regards to feedback. Hope you get to make comparisons to the lethal gaming gear's glass skates sometime later, heard they don't have the same initial "break-in" period. Maybe check out ninjutsuo's too though theirs seem to be limited to their own mice for now.
How are they holding up? Still good?
@@rykielzeles1140 I went back to ptfe skates, I think they're too inconsistent/high maintenance after the coating wears off. There's BT.L glass skates out now which may be better but I haven't tried them out.
@@RentABlackout I’ll keep this in mind, thanks for the update!
I just ordered some for my Orochi V 2 after using another pair of corepads. It's the mouse I just chuck into my backpack if I'm traveling, and with random spare change or other hard trinkets in there, I end up scratching the PTFE skates. I've heard the glass skates are very scratch resistant, so that makes them a good buy for me! Every other mouse I own is sticking to PTFE though. Good video, liked and remained subbed;)
was thinking about buying one of these great to see a video abt this
After I got the superglide mouse feet I kinda hoping it will slow down. to make a consistent flickshot and micro adjustment.
Idk if its a humidity thing or its the fact that there are slow spots on my Artisan Hayate Otsu, but using the glass feet I can really feel the slow spots compared to the corepads that I currently main. I do prefer the latter but maybe I might go back to the glass pad our of boredom.
Nice one! Are you planning to make another mouse tier list any time soon?
At some point yes!
I had to remove the superglides to disassemble my mouse for fixing. I used the hot gun on it and it instantly feel much slower as if it's weared in. If you want that more controlled glide you might want to try heating the superglides up with a hot gun.
tbh the struggle with desktop usage is real. BUT, for me the tracking, and especially micro movements, are way easier to perform with the superglides. Got them on my Outset AX, too and PTFE on NP-01. I like the Glass Skates but don't know if they are way superior. For tracking they are.
Your describtion of superglide that is worn down makes me want to buy one and make it wear down instantly
3:50 is the key science point! makes total sense!
I have been using the g203 for a while but recently tried the np01s because of your review and I really like the shape and I wonder if you have any recommendations for similar ish mice that are also ergo
hmm, nothing really that similar which is ergo or asymmetrical. the Zowie S2 is a symmetrical version of the shape tho
There seems to be some inconsistencies when using the glass skates. At least for me. I’ve been using them very heavily the last 3 months. Went back to some ptfe skates and noticed an important almost instantly. I’ve used several different mice and mouse pads when testing them as well.
My initial set of Superglides on my Xlite Wireless slowed down to nearly stuck in place and initial friction felt SO HARD to move to the point where I would need to lift the mouse to move. Going from that floating smooth feeling to feeling like my mouse was stuck to my pad ( LGG Venus) was absolutely awful especially given it was roughly 2 months of use. Pulsar did send me a new set and so far it's been pretty consistent but I am not quite at the same time of use as my original pair so only time will tell.
The first batch of superglides for the xlite slowed down significantly I and another youtuber have that experience
i got the same problem, how did you talk with them?
@@oscarburger5691 I just sent in an email to their support. They responded in a day or so.
@@sldX It was not, same thing happened - I also got a v2 FE, same thing. Ended up getting a SkyPad 3.0 and Tiger ICE with my v2 Mini now.
Great review count chocula
super glide is such an advantage when your using low/medium sens but if u are using high sens super glides are not recommended
I’ve been using the Superglide for 1 month now… and actually considering changing. I have slow mousepad but smooth and still superglide too fast for me. Even hard to click the icon which is kinda annoying.
for me its being able to finely aim without my mouse skipping and jumping across my mouse surface anytime i try to move it a very slowly i cant track on ptfe after a while it wears out and becomes muddy i hate it...with glass its smooth all the time and doesnt wear out.
I don’t find glass feet to be needed on light mouses but when it comes to heavy mouses like basilisk ultimate, it makes the mouse feet lighter & quicker
Felt the exact same thing of having em wear out so suddenly. Taht's pretty annoying, i personnality hate this consistent friction, it makes my fingers super numb :( gotta try a hybrid pad and then if it's still shit, will switch to pfte.
Great video mate
Thanks bro!
Had a set of superglides on my gpx for about 2 months now, with tiger ice skates on a different gpx at the same time. In the beginning while playing tac fps I would always swap back to the tiger ice skates very quickly, and stick to them for the rest of the session. This is because frankly the superglides were just uncontrollable, and it looked like I had doubled my sens in game with the amount of shaking I had. After about a month they seemed to slow down a fair bit, and I'm sure for some people that is a bummer, but for me it made them actually usable in tac fps just like you mentioned yourself. In this state I can use the skates with slower pads for tac fps, and still track surprisingly well even with slower pads on track-heavy games. The difference between the tiger ice and superglides are still night and day (tiger ice faster dynamic friction, superglass faster static friction), but I might actually prefer the superglides now as a balanced option for all types of games. I will admit I might still prefer the "locked in" feeling of ptfe some times in tac fps games still though. I agree with your points through every stage of the video, and think you explained the experience in a way that makes sense with the before and after break in period. Very informative video and a thumbs up from me. :p
My lethal feet have slowed down a lot. I have a new set on a different mouse and it's crazy how much faster it is. I'm gonna try to compare used ptfe to my used lethal skates to see if there is a difference.
ive al,ways used tiger iceskates on my gpro x, i changed to the deathadder v3 pro recently, and use corepads, with an artisan zero soft pad, gives me nice control and not too fast.
months before they get good control? nah, guess that one time I used glass will be it for me. sticking to control ptfe feets moving forward. thanks haus!
I like to feel the texture of the pad, so PTFE for me. I tried the Superglides for about a month and a half and they never wore past their control feel. I used Windex to clean them once and they got most of the glide back. I think oils from your skin get into the pad and slowly build on the feet. I realized though that the texture of the pad helped me with my muscle memory and sense of control every bit as much as the glide, and without that texture, I felt like I was missing a part of aiming that I love the feeling of.
Did you check out the Superglides v2 yet? I heard they are quite a bit slower than the original ones, but have no weardown.
Yeah, still not a big fan of them!
You can feel the pad differences with ptfe so much. It’s very helpful to feel the pixels moves for me
Have had my superglides on my Orochi v2 for about a week or so, they are definitely insanely fast and opening folders/apps can be frustrating 😂 but they are still so uniquely fun to use in game 👌 I can't wait for them to break in because they seem to be optimal at that point
Been using them on my gpx for 3 months. After that break in period they are perfect for me. I use an LGG Venus and hayate otsu xsoft
@@notblazedfordays9536 holy that is a fast combination xD
I found these glass skates that do t wear down I forgot the name of them but imma keep looking for them so I can buy them bc they're just as fast as super glides but they don't wear down over time
My G Pro x ptfe skates started making a screeching noise
0:21 what resolution is this?
i just got mine 9 days ago and i feel like they are ruining my mousepad. They are getting so crazy slow
They don't wear down any further than the initial break-in period, from what I can tell, I've been using the Pulsar Xlite Superglide for quite a few months now on an Artisan Hien Mid XL, and had the exact same initial experience with them, it was uncontrollable, and even trying to double click stuff on the desktop was super annoying...but the moment they wore in, they slowed down just enough, to allow more control, whilst still having the low initial friction and consistent glide/tracking feel...I still feel like flicking shots while sniping in games is harder than say, with my other mice that have PTFE feet whilst using my Skypad 2.0 XL, but I have slowly but surely been getting used to it...I think using Lexip ceramic feet on one of my mice on my skypad for about year, and then switching back to PTFE feet and then to this glass feet, allowed me to get used to them faster than most (it was quite painful getting accustomed to lexips on glass, not only is it loud..lol..but there is no stopping friction, so all the control was developed via muscle memory...which in turn ended up improving my aiming overall when I switched back to a slower mouse/feet/surface combo with more control).
use it with a cordura pad After breaking in period
Hello there! I'm thinking about buying them now. I was wondering, how are they in super long term. Can you tell how they feel now?
@@belovr2010 They still haven't gotten any slower than that initial break in period, I can't even use my other mice any more, I'm too accustomed to this balanced level of friction/glide.
@@glynkatkin Thanks!
Can u try fantech agile mousepad its a budget balance mousepad
I've got a NP01S with tiger ice and a X Lite Wireless with superglides, my main pad is a Tiger EBA. What bothers me about the superglides is that the glide is not consistent, on one swipe it feels completly smooth, on another it feels very rough. I prefer PTFE.
Hmm, I haven't had that issue myself, but I didn't try the EBA!
@@hausgaming sometimes o think is related to the pressure that o apply to the pad, but It feels really weird.
Now we just need some pre-worn glass skates.
I love the way brand new ice skates are really fast so i buy new ones every 3 month i would probably buy those weekly if i had the money my aim gets buffed when i have new glides i have a artisan hien and a superlight still i feel like i want a faster pad or a lighter mice but im not spending 300 dollars for a finalmouse could glass skates be the solution i play kovaaks and fortnite i want that feeling were the mouse pad isnt kinda fighting back i want full control
I use it on g303 I have to say the mouse made for glass skates I removed them from my super light do
I've sadly been having LOD issues with my Superglides & superlight despite removing both skates. Using MPC-450 mousepad.
It's very possible, the thickness of the feet is not the same as stock feet sadly!
I have a similar experience I have both lethal Gaming gear glass feed on my XM1R And super glides on my kone pro air and they have worn down a bit but they feel better now then out of the box
how long it's been out of the box buddy ?
i got superglide, and razer orochi v2, so good so far.
Yeah I have super Glides on all my mice.. (Pulsar X2 Mini, Viper V2 Pro, Deathadder V3 Pro, Logitech Superlight Pro X, and the Logitech G303 Shroud edition) All of them have been pretty much going through the same life cycle. Very fast with some control day 1-30. Then after 1-3 months they all slowed down, but not really slow, just a lot more control. I feel even after a year of using the super glides on some of the mice that they're still have that glass no friction glide, but a surprising control once broken in. I don't think I can ever change my mouse skates moving forward, Super Glide just have truly worked as intended.
Yo would you recommend to take off the stock feet on the DAV3 Pro i actually bought the superglide stakes but haven't put them on, been using the stocks since 7 months now with an Artisan Hein mousepad i already find the mouse kinda fast so should i ? (I also don't wanna ruin it cuz i don't have money buy another one)
@@sylocks_gg if you’ve been good w the stocks for 7 months and performing well then no. Also have both Artisan Zero and Hein, and been using Zero atm since the skates are a little faster on the Hein. I like the Hein for games like Apex and Overwatch. I also have the Superglide2’s on all those mice. I like a lot more than the originals Superglide glass skates.
I had the exact same experience as you mentioned in the end of your video - but it only took me 4 weeks to get there on my GPX. I was actually really happy with them at that point - super consistent and controlled, but low initial friction! Unfortunately, a few weeks later - they became even slower and started to feel "muddy", like I was actively fighting the mouse. And it was inconsistent, sometimes it would feel like there was more drag on my flicks, and other times it wouldn't drag as much. This ended up happening over time on 2 separate Superglides! To sum up, they have a sweet spot where they feel good, but they don't last long enough in this "perfect" state. I have decided to stop using them for now, as Pulsar has not commented about this issue and wouldn't accept exchanges/returns, even after just 2-3 weeks of purchasing them - basically telling me "that's too bad for you".
Soo i dont think its your glass skates my friends its the mouse pad they really really change on how the pad is like if u use this one spot more it will feel muddy or a spot with little use will glide like crazy i currently on the hunt for a mouse pad that will glide always when i clean my mouse pad the mouse glides like really really good again.
@@shotgunshellmanhi there just wondering after 9 months are you still using superglides and are they doing well for you?like have they worn down anymore
I can actually say my glass skates were super clean the first few weeks, but they wore down and felt sooo muddy. I always thought its my mousepad but i cleaned it multiple times and even ordered a new one so i totally not recommend buying em.
I used the superglides for about 1 months on my gpx, but I switched back to tiger ice because they were too uncontrollable... They slowed down a bit but not that much, should I continue to use them ? Is there any chance that the get a bit more of friction ? I mainly play valorant
The more you use them, the worse it gets(or in your case, better). I've had mine for a little over a year and it just got slower and slower with time, to the point where the skates would 'stick' to my pad. I thought it was just my pad that got dirty/greasy but I had the exact same sticky feel on a brand new Artisan Raiden
is that ec2-c red a special edition or something?
It's a custom EC2-C that I got painted, a video about it at some point
Just seems like the more pressure you put on the glass skates they slow down
It's been a weird experience with me for Superglides/Glass feet in general, I've had a relatively good time with my GPX w/ them on, not really any complaints. I do only use them for select games, but on my Shroud G303 they're not consistent at all. I'm finding a lot of mild drift when holding that mouse w/ the skates on. I'm assuming it's the shape and the pure smoothness of the skates in combination with my grip and arm steadiness, so all things I can realistically accommodate. I'm going to try and wear them down to their initial wear down threshold as they are super fresh out of the box. Amazing video though! Super informative, just like all your stuff.
Update?
dam im late I got a new pc component that was slightly bent so took me hours to fix it so it would fit because im a fish
Which skates would you recommend for games such as CSGO and VALORANT?
Hey bro, mostly PTFE feet. Tiger Arc & Corepads are the best options. Tiger Ice are quite a bit smoother and faster than the previously mentioned!
@@hausgaming thank you so much!🙏
If there's no static friction, would that mean glass skates + the gsr would be top tier?
That's what I rock and I'm loving it! No mud when starting mouse movement and still perfect when you want to stop.
Kind of. After they wear in and become useable on the desktop it no longer feels right to use them on faster pads. They feel very good on control pads like the gsr and g640 now though.
Great vid
I have to say this now that i’ve been watching your videos for quite some time now…. I fricking LOVE your accent hahahah
Thank you bro!
russian? doesn't sound quite russian, but definitely slavic. almost netherlandic, but it's not that.
@@gwho pretty sure he is from finland
Is your ec2-c red?
It's a custom EC2 that I got painted, a video about it at some point
At 3:47 if the pressure of your mouse increases friction and makes the mouse harder to move. Isn't that inconsistency similar to mouse acceleration? One increases mouse speed, the other decreases mouse speed. So if you wanna go theoretical, PTFE feets makes your aim inconsistent, since it adds an input factor to your mouse movement, which is affected by "Pressure". Mouse acceleration adds an input factor to your mouse movement, which is affected by "Speed". So, can't you argue and say removing a factor, makes your aim more consistent?
Standard Windows mouse accel is very hard to control, the curve is unpredictable and takes a lot of time to master. However, with things like RawAccel you can actually get fairly easily adapted to mouse accel and master it. This and similar theories do not really apply to humans very well, friction and pressure related friction can give us comfort and can make it easier for us to control motion on a bad day for example. Besides, it's fairly easy for you to just control the amount of force you want to apply towards the mousepad with your mouse.
I wonder if this glass skates would help me decrease my fortnite sens by alot and still feel super confortable with the mechanics.
Could definitely work for this case!
Break-in Superglides is top tier
wait, why is your zowie ec2c red? I need it ahah
I got it custom painted!
@@hausgaming wheeere ahah I'm from italy and I really I'm looking for a ec painted red and ninjusto too
Great review! I should've watched this BEFORE I got it haha Btw, thought it'd comment on your aim_botz: When spraying, there's no use to spray transfer more than 3 bots due to the realistic scenarios in an actual match! Thanks a lot for your review, honest and credible!
Thanks! Aim_botz isn't really good real scenario practice for me whatever the case, I just test mice and gear in control, mobility and precision with it sometimes!
These feet felt way too quick on my hien for the first few hours. After that it was very smooth, losing a lot of the texured feel of the pad, but overall felt like a big improvement for me at least. After about 2 months of use, with no visible damage or scratching on the feet, they now feel extremely slow. Like slower than a heavily worn GSR. I have no idea what changed, but the friction on the back feet is now far higher than the front and as a result they are entirely unusable.
This can apparently happen with glass feet. I recommend sticking with good PTFE feet for now!
Been wearing in my superglides on the rvm wireless i made, definetly over the intial wear in now and i must say that after the wearing in these are easily the most consistent and just overall nice skates ive ever used. Im personally not going to be returning to ptfe again.
Are they better than lexip ceramic mouse feet?
Never tried lexips sadly!
lexip sucks i have tried both
After they had wear down they feel really nice !
how long it's been out of the box?
@@dishu7578 around a month!
Are you still using these glass mouse skates as your main?
Not anymore no!
06:01 😁hehe it's good🤠
still to this day do not understand the obsession people have with speed. its extremely hard to be consistent with
I think the fact that they wear down and slow down kinda defeats the purpose of having expensive glass skates called “superglide” that was hyped/advertised to be fast and durable :/
Ive had mine for a bit over a year now, and I'd actually argue that it's more of a break-in period then them wearing out. I feel that with a control pad (i got a artisan zero) they really do become the ultimate control setup while still being fairly fast. It's no pure speed setup, but it certainly does rival some pads like the Hien. The speed and control is unlike anything else. No mousepad/PTFE or whatever material can replicate it so consistently, especially once you break them in. It took me about a month to break mine in and since then they haven't changed.
Eh I think I'll stick with ptfe. regardless if you do or do not enjoy the slowdown it's still bad that the "Best mouse feet in the world" slowdown in the first place when it is advertised as it won't.
I think these glass feet were just super easy money for those company in marketing point of view, however kinda actually good after wearing out by accident.
Mine feel muddy and slow
i used superglides for around 4 weeks, and in short, the experience was consistently inconsistent
Would you say superglides are bad for people with sweaty hands?
Not really at least in my experience!
Man I was looking for some csgo gameplay to compare glass vs ptfe but you fast forwarded through the most important part -.-
One run on aim botz isn't really that important 😂
@@hausgaming It's not the run I care about its me wanting to analyze in slow motion your flick speed, micro corrections and general crosshair movement all around, but you butchered the ability for me to analyze gameplay lol this was the closest i can find on youtube :/ I've noticed crosshair behavior changes in the tiny amount of clips i've found of people using different variations of the glass mousepads, cloth pads, ptfe feet, and glass feet. thought it was interesting to jump into this for more research but the content is so sparse it's making my interest very difficult to look into..
i think the super glide is for claw grip players that doesnt move a lot
👍🏻
superglide on artisan hayate otsu after 1 month = muddy ass slower than stock ptfe on control pads
Try cleaning your mousepad.
@@discoRyne did that with brush and soap, didnt work out. The glass skates are too sensitive to body oil and sweat. dog gimmick skates until it is really optimzed
Personally I've find myself liking the feel of Superglides more, even if out of the box the feet move and slide causing my cursor to be off target, and overtime they may become muddy. I can't explain it but there's just the surprising amount of better consistency while moving the mouse, and to me tracking felt much better because I don't need to force my mouse to move as much, I can do very delicate tracking without issue.
im geting them and I will see. I'm personaly a speed demon. So I love speed, so base on that wy will see am gona come here and tell you my experiance afther like 4 mouths of use
Superglides are like riding a bike without breaks. Not for everyone.
they’re breaking in as well as glass sadly has issues with humidity
Hmm, I haven't noticed any problems in regards to humidity. However summer is just coming here!
