You might think all of the in-game clips are by s1mple in the video, but the DM clips are mine
😎
He'll switch to g303 may be soon
Why don't you compete though
Cool idea for a video, could become series, although it would eventually become stale since setups don't vary too much, at least in cs scene. Thank you for the content.
Good point! Planning to go with some Apex players soon as well
@@hausgaming have no idea if you need suggestions, but I enjoyed insights about poor mousepad choice the most. Could try focusing on less conventional gear choices. E.g. Guardian kept using kinzu even when sensor was somewhat obsolete, or the fact that large number of CS pros are using g640, or the fact that rival 110 and sensei ten seem to be popular in asia.
@@hausgaming maybe do a tacularr special
@@hausgaming you should look at imperialhal or aceu
@@madhalf7059 I think its much easier to have some insights about their mouse choices, but mousepads are different. Pro players have sponsors so they have unlimited amount of mousepad supplies. Doesn't matter how bad the g640 durability is, they will just replace the pad immediately the moment they feel inconsistencies that affects their games.
Please make this a series! This stuff is some of my favorite stuff to watch
This can definitely be a series, would love to see u do other players as well
csgo G2 NiKo setup next:D
I liked this kind of video a lot it would be great to see it with other pro players as well
Awesome video I hope there can be more of these types of videos in the future!!
That's the plan!
"and he's using one of the best keyboard's for gaming at the moment." *Keyboard Enthusiasts franticly grinding their teeth not to write a billion word essay on why he's wrong.*
lmao 😂😂
Keyboard enthusiasts are toxic af
@@HollowRick and perma-bronze
keyboard enthusiast gear sometimes sucks for gaming, this ttc pink switches I use have an actuation point deeper than the mariana trench, feels like playing with input lag all the time, even on a membrane keyboard it feels snapier, but hey, the spacebar sounds good...
@@theutgardianchannel1952 try going back to og mx brown. They are light and slightly tactile, good for gaming :)
please do more vids like this! I swear, you have the best ideas
The superlight is a really good mouse, but I had the same issues as you, used mine for almost a year, it was hard to find a comfortable grip at the beginning, and my gameplay was really unconsistent, changed for a NP01S and if was a better choice from the start.
You should do Navi Electronic man, great video keep it comming.
Coming from XM1 and RVU I hated the GPX shape, I found it to be anti-claw until I started using the same grip as s1mple ( palm claw with the grip in the front ) and its now my favorite.
I am using a Pulsar Xlite Wireless and and owned Kone XTD and KPU and these were goat mice
he used to palm claw but with the gpx he does not use any palm at all
What is the s1mple HATOR mousepad close to compared to other mousepads? Alternatives for a similar mousepad but with better quality overall?
I do enjoy my GPX Superlight, but I was struggling in the beginning. BTL grip is a must for me, otherwise I get to sweaty. Also Tiger ICE skates... corepad skates did not work out for me.
I like this kind of videos! And you have a wide range of shooters styles youre knowledgeable about, could be cool even for comparisons between trackin and flick heavy games pro players gear, how they differ and how some players bring techniques from one "style of game" to another. or unicorns like relaaa on BF4 !
What is the best wireless tkl keyboard hausgaming ?
Great idea, this is something I'd have thought about before but nobody dared to do yet, amazing video and finally I know what s1mple's mousepad is like since I never would've gone though the same hustle with customs fee and all xD
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video!!! I want to see any acend valorant player next
Hello bro I've seen on Reddit some people comparing the mousepad to the heavy qck would u say that's accurate? Nice video!
I love this idea of content , thanks for another great video Haus! I wish you a happy new year brother ❤️
Thanks, and great new year right back at you brother!
Could you tell what other mousepad this could be similar to?
Great video my man! Which "switch type" would you recommend for the G915? (linear, tactile, clicky)
I have tactile & clicky and I prefer clicky myself!
Hey haus, this is unrelated to the video but How do you feel the artisan zero v2 surface(the smoother newer one) compares to the lgg saturn in speed and stopping power?
It's faster than the Saturn!
i remember buying a fk1+ when he started using it back in 2016-2018 because of him LUL now i use a superlight too, he's THE GOAT no doubts, i would only change the keyboard but thats always personal
I absolutely agree with you on the Hator mousepad. I've had the s1mple edition and my arm used to stick to it while playing but I didn't know better options at that time :) I've also found GPW/GPX to be a bit too long for my 18.5/9.5 hands and I perform the best on a shorter HTS shape. Funnily enough, I've performed more or less the same on any other mice like S2/GPW and lower profile mice are getting too unstable in the end.
What mousepad is most similar to s1mples
@@cesaresp101 I think you should focus on rather finding "your" mousepad than mimicking others. Same for mouse and sens. I would say Vaxee PA is the closest. Personally, both are too fast for me and I use Tiger Neon. You can also try Qck Heavy which is cheap and used by many. Zowie GSR is too slow in dynamic friction and too tiring.
@@phylosophdotcom The Vaxee PA is similar to s1mple's mousepad? That's nice.
@@wertyuiopasd6281 s1mple's mousepad is crap though so Vaxee is way better :D
@@phylosophdotcom Yes I know. I just wondered if they were literally the same, I won't search other alternatives and just get the Vaxee PA. Can you really confirm it's the same lul? I thought s1mple's was more on the control side.
What mousepad is his most similar to
Love this series! I would love to see some Valorant or R6 player setups
S1mple used the XM1 and wired g403 for a couple months before settling on GPX
we 240hz monitor setting info anout device or any other top player
nice series
went to look at the navi mousepads cause i liked the design idk if the page is down or what but they have none listed under the catagory
NaVi's own website? Go check from Hator's store!
hi bud i got a question if a mouse feet wears off does that mean the mouse became a controll mouse because it's slower so it feel like ur using a controll pad?
It depends on the feet, most PTFE feet do not really wear down or it takes a very long time, but mousepads can wear down much faster. Are you sure it's the feet and not your pad that's worn down?
this is some fresh content, keep it up I would like to see the same kind of video about yay (El Diablo) from valorant EnVy
Great video! New subscriber man!!
Welcome!
Whats a great low friction control pad, i have a razer strider which has very low friction however lacks stopping power imo... any ideas?
You could try PureTrak pads or the LGG Venus if you are from US, otherwise it'll be hard to find one.
razer gigantus v2 is cheap and in the slower side , if you want reaaaaally slow, the g-sr is prob the slowest mousepad
ngl been keeping track of s1mple since his popularity rose, and bought the G915 TKL just because he used it and won the PGL major. was eyeing to buy but it was so expensive, lucky to bought it on sale.
insane video man gj
I was wondering why I had to lower my sens for by Superlight
Does anyone know if s1mple uses hyperglides on its gpro mouse?
mAN THANKS FROM BRAZIL, I HAVE A DOUGHT , HYPER FURY S CONTROL OR STEELSERIES QCK HEAVY?
if i recall correctly he played one tournament with a logitech 403 because flamie and he tried out the endgame gear xm1 as it was released
Forgot about the XM1! I know EGG actually sent him a prototype and also a paracorded one!
a similar video with elige would be cool
What keyboard switches does S1mple use?
HOW DID U GET that pad, i have tried manytimes but only can get it if u r from UKR or moldova or something like that
HATOR webstore
4:03 anyone knows what mouse is this?
does simple use aftermarket feet on the superlight
To my knowledge, no!
superlight is such a safe shape everyone can use it although its not my favourite
Zeek or Scream setup next please 😄
Device next one? Pls
When are you releasing the xten review?
In two weeks it should be here!
that 520-420 size on point though
I like this type of video! Could you do zywoo next? :)
Plan is to do Zywoo soon yes!
search zywoo setup on yt and there is ESL video with actual Zywoo
@@underh1gh no1 cares about those
@@hausgaming sorry? I don't see why u are triggered
@@underh1gh cuz he want's you and the people reading your comment to see his new video when he upload it i imagine hehe
Switch keyboard s1mple?
G915 sw ??
S1mple also used the normal g pro wireless for a while
I was interested in buying this Logitech G Pro mouse but finally I decided to buy Razer Viper Ultimate and man...the best decision of my life. That mouse is s1mply perfect.
so what keyboard will be better to buy?
Wooting Two HE for example!
@@hausgaming your answer was a little bit too late xD Waiting for my G915 already xD
too underrated!
One thing I’ve always disliked about the g pro wireless is that the shape although be really comfortable, you don’t really ever grip it the same twice.
You will after you've used it for a longer period. But to start with this is the issue for many!
could u do video of aleksib´s gear?
Why not!
simple used za13 for very long
He was the first CS:GO Pro to play with Endgame Gear XM1, before that FK1+.
True, I forgot about the XM1!
@@hausgaming he also used ZA13 or ZA12 in the past.
He just didn't play well on the XM1 tbh. He didn't like it much.
@@wertyuiopasd6281 true, kinda think it was he’s worst period. G Pro X Superlight seems like it has taken him to new heights 💪🏻
Xten ?
i have the same mousepad wouldnt call it hard tbh its medium or soft but not hard i have the qck heavy which is way harder
Hmm, I also have the QcK Heavy and the HATOR pad is definitely not as soft 🤔. Not really medium either imo.
Hi, in your opinion what mousepad is similar to that hator one?
Hes using a 360hz Monitor like for 8-9 month now thats old stuff from where you get your info the side is old and they Not updating the info
Now Logitech has best wireless technology in gaming gear . Due to from rtings or some site benchmark their products latency is the best and can beat even wired gaming gear. That's crazy
Logitech has had that for a while! I wouldn't trust rtings tests, they aren't very accurate!
@@hausgaming oh really based on video they show benchmark procedure for monitors i think it's reasonable to trust their result . But wireless latency lower than wired then it's strange and i have a corner about that.
Make about niko
ootko suomalainen?
Need a mini GPX
Are there actually real people that believe s1mple's aim isn't good based on some Warzone clips? He's arguably the most mechanically skilled player in the history of the CS franchise, idk how somebody could come to that conclusion.
How do you rank these players from best to worst (pure aim only instead of game specific mechanics): s1mple, NiKo, Twistzz, XANTARES
@@ej9806 Oof, I never really know where to place Xantares tbh. He has such a small sample size of good games against elite teams that it's hard to judge. I'd probably put him at the bottom of those four though. As far as the other three go, I think there's an argument to be made for all of them, though I think NiKo takes the cake for me. I'll always give a slight edge to a rifler because it's more difficult to put up his numbers with an AK/M4.
I've seen his warzone clips. It's clear he has no idea what he's doing on that game. He doesn't slide cancel and he uses the worst guns 🤣. So his warzone clips don't mean anything
Whats ur elo @ faceit? ;)
Hey haus, please help with this: The hator mousepad, closest possible similar mousepad? Please? I feel like a lot of people are asking for this and we can't find a good enough answer. Have mercy on our wallets to not have to try it too.
There aren't many very similar pads. I'd go for QcK Heavy instead of it, HATOR pad is not very good.
@@hausgaming really appreciate your rep, so you would say as slowness is similar to qck heavy? Is glorious cloth similar to hator? After so many reads about it don't know where to place it. Pls reply if possible, thx again for your time
let's see what will happen when endgame will go wireless and maybe a smaller size too :D
Actually, the keyboard helps you peek corners w/o peeking so wide. the keyboard helps you play differently
I recommend watching this if you want good info about keyboards and how they can be good for gaming: kzhead.info/sun/g7eBpbhrbYyJhqs/bejne.html
Would u be willing to sell that mousepad? I’ll pay good for it
There is one insanely good keyboard but there are 2 downsides for it. 1 is its expensive (mostly) and 2 is it might take a long time to ship. Theres really no name for it but its often called a custom keyboard since you chose whats in it and you can change things so you like it :)
ZywOo next
Funspark is the next
Yooo Flyxse here sadly on my second account. but just want to say that i love this idea :D
Thanks FLYXSE! Hopefully u get ur account back
H4usgam1ng!
😂
Kinda funny. Hope you will get a lot of views at least. And always remember that FK is schiit, cause s1mple said it
😂
S1mple has really big hands, superlight is way too small for him, small mouse offer us more control the aim in game, people should use small mice xD.
s1mple has also used a XM1 at some point in his career, dunno why he ditched it tho
Good point!
Probably the cable
ZywOo has the best tracking aim in the world. s1mple has the best flickshot awp in the world.
You don't really have to track in CS.
@@hausgaming You do. But it depends on your aiming style. s1mple is more of a flickshot player, has a high sens. The tracking part is very important if you're a high level faceit player. ZywOo's tracking and Niko's tracking are the best in CSGO imo.
@@wertyuiopasd6281 Not really no. Tracking is a mechanic that's very good for games with high ttk. There are instances where you kind of need to track someone like pistol rounds, but it's not proper tracking as you have absolutely no need to track the enemy accurately for 100% of the time.
o.o lets see how much attentions this vid gets :D
He plays the mouse that will pay him the most it’s not necessarily the best . Sponsorship and endorsements.
In the stockholm Major that he won he was using the logitech g 640 mousepad.
He was using the Hator It's good to be s1mple pad there as well :)
Oh SH1T I FORGOT TO COMMENT SOMTHING STUPID BUT MASSIVE BRAIN FOR THE ALRGORITHUM UMMMM IMAA USE ROCKET JUMP NINIJISSSSS PAD AND ZOWIE EC-1 FOR FORTNUTEEE SHEEEEEEEEEEEEESH
😂😂😂
@@hausgaming UR DA BEST
No doubt s1mple is the best CSGO player ever, not CS overall lol Not saying that he wouldnt be just as good at CS 1.6 or Source but those games were way before his time and they were different games. Anybody whos played 1.6 and the versions before as a kid know what I'm talking about,the whole feel and dynamics of the older CS games you cant compare them to CSGO.
I played a lot of CS 1.6, and the level CS:GO is played currently is WAY above of the level 1.6 and CS:S were ever played, which is only natural. Therefore s1mple is the best CS player that has ever played, by far the most dominant and most skilled
Why would anyone buy a keyboard because a pro uses it. Just get a $15 keyboard. It's good enough
if it's good enough for pro players playing for money, it's probably a good product. Now if you're a super casual who doesn't care about performance, then yeah it doesn't matter. Also mechanical keyboards are better for gaming which i doubt you can find for $15. Then again you probably didnt know the difference
@@GMoneyy3000 lol ur a newb
@@aseed89 right, enjoy your $15 keyboard guppy
The mouse he used doesn't affect the outcome of match, the team chemistry and his perfomance are crucial in order to win a match, not the mouse he uses. Keep that in mind.
No bro, the mouse is all that matters
But, but I am the best CS player... 😥
yes
Best CSGO player ever* lol gtfo
😭
He isn't, Dev1ce is objectively with 4 Major Champions and MVPs. And only in CS:GO field, if you talk about the entire CS, that guy but be f0rest without doubt.
ok
Almost got a like if you didn't call the Superlight the best mouse in the world, it is clearly the Finalmouse Starlight that is the best mouse
😂😂
@@hausgaming it’s true tho
