Cheap Mousepads?

[burnt eagle]

What should I look for when buying mousepads? I'm on a low budget and leaned more towards the slower mousepads. Got any recommendations?

[pseudo garden]

Qck

Go for large(or larger)

[burnt eagle]

I've been hearing about it from others too thx

Saturn or Saturn Pro, $50 high quality 3mil base

[burnt eagle]

$50.. 🤔

Aqua Control mousepads fron X-raypad. Pretty affordable.

[inland trench]

Yeah also true, the V2 is amazing as well

[burnt eagle]

I was looking for smt around 10 bucks

[torpid mason]

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking, 10-15 dollars. Anything more than that and you’re talking a normal price, not a cheap one lol

[inland trench]

$30 for Saturn is pretty good. I wouldn't recommend something that's going to not last. You buy a $10ikea pad and every 3 months you gotta buy a new one @torpid mason @burnt eagle

[torpid mason]

Sure, but I was also thinking something like LGG, just on sale ;)

[inland trench]

I mean the Jupiter is very slow, and it's $15

[torpid mason]

The Jupiter-black is $25, which is still pretty up there. The Mercury is $15 and has low kinetic friction but quite high static friction, at least imo.

[inland trench]

I wouldn't ever recommend it tho. Same with the Mercury. It's a hybrid speed pad. But I'm not a fan, also $15

[torpid mason]

Minerva is a pretty good pad as well when it comes into stock

[inland trench]

@burnt eagle you can get a Jupiter or OG Saturn for $15 on LGG. But keep in mind for another $15 you can get a lot of really good stuff

[torpid mason]

Ooh, they currently have the Equate plus v2 available at $20.

Though, remember that the prices will be higher than display due to shipping and tax.

Oh, if the Jupiter is slow, that’s actually what he was requesting, so that might be perfect!

[inland trench]

It's way too slow

[torpid mason]

Maybe, but it’s also relative, maybe it’s slow enough for him due to his setup/sens.

Mousepad speed is preference. You might dislike quicker pads but other might not. Don't let your personal opinion influence recommendations too much

(Yes I know hissam wants a slower pad but still)

[inland trench]

I would take Matty's advice and not go that slow.

You need speed in any fps game you play, but most people don't wanna lose control. So you wanna pick the fastest pad you still have control on. For most people that play control game like Val that would be probably be an Art Zero Soft maybe xSoft

It a clone but way cheaper like the Saturn, which is still a slow control pad

I think going too slow could negatively affect peak performance

[glad kernel]

I do agree that there is an aspect of "too slow" yeah.

Could also make the argument to a degree that things like the Skypad might also be too fast. I wonder if we ever will get like an objective answer on that situation

[burnt eagle]

I'll save up, for now though, is it bad to just use a big bedsheet? 💀

It has prints on it so far I haven't really had any issues, it's used like tablecloth (spread out on the whole table). Idrk about mousepad speeds, but it's medium to slow whatever yk

[inland trench]

Ohhhh....
I would get a mouse pad now.... Like asap. Get a Saturn from LGG it's $15 might be like close to $20 after shipping. Use Code Jakeu for a discount

[glad kernel]

yeah.... a bedsheet doesn't really work

given it can wrinkle a lot and what not even if you tighten it up around your setup as much as possible

[inland trench]

Yeah I would get one now, like asap 💀😭

[burnt eagle]

bruh I'ma save up
