- the skypad 4 is a wonderfully smooth mousepad that i have enjoyed using a lot. but i'm also looking forward to not using it anymore.

i've been watching a lot of @BladeBias recently and i've rly enjoyed the casual style of review the balisong community likes to do: satisfying flipping, unprofessional commentary/production, and is mostly just a likable dork talking to a camera for a hobby they're passionate about. with how rare gameplay is in peripheral reviews these days, i thosught it would be cool to attempt to do something similar with fpses where i try and target switch on gunfire reborn while giving a review of whatever peripheral i'm using!
hope u enjoy, i'll probably do a few of these even if no one rly cares abt it

I love these kind of raw thoughts videos, please do more!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on your other peripherals as well c:
timestamps below if the chapters don't work. a few things i forgot to mention:
- my aim is noticeably more fluid when i can put a little bit of concentration into it because the surface offers such low static friction. micros are very fast and smooth.
- i actually really like wrist/ftip aim with this thing, it feels super free and consistent.

Consistency is also the term I'd describe it with, although I only ever used a superglide pad to compare it to. It's also a lot more quiet that that one and I think sound is 80% of how smooth the pad actually feels to use, amplified by the fact I'm using open-back headphones
Such a relaxing video, need more!
Love these styles of videos, if you do end up making more ill def give them a watch
bought the 3.0 when they were having that big sale prior to the 4.0 release a few months ago, always wanted to try glass and I'm really glad I have now. mb in something like CS it wouldn't help that much but tf2 sniper flicks and scout scatter/pistol tracking feels much much better, same in quake.
can +1 to the 3.0 making me feel like the princess and the pea when a single dust particle lands on it lol it's super noticeable, I end up cleaning it briefly before every session usually
with regards to wrist/arm transitions @ 10:40 on my 3.0 I found the same issue of wrist flicks feeling quite different to larger arm flicks and especially tracking. for me what made a big difference was raising my seat a few extra inches so less of my arm weight is on the glass itself, made it so that now I don't even use a sleeve provided the environment isnt too humid
also re: picking up ur mouse a lot, idk if you still use accel but that's something that def comes with it. since if you flick your crosshair right to a point and then slowly move left back to where your crosshair started at, your mouse won't be in the same spot and over time it can sort of wander across the pad
mela mela tofu gaming
@@neocopy_ i will never escape this
cozy vibes :3
What sens and dpi do you play on? I am also a fingertip grip players well and have a hard time finding other players like myself to compare my settings to! I love seeing how other ftip players have their settings set up! Great review btw, very calm and relaxing video!
thank you! i play between 25 and 45 cm in most games, would go lower if i ever played tac fps.
loved this
did some paperwork with this in the background ^^ good video
I have been holding off on getting the 4.0 because of its size :/ my glass addicted brain is sad. I love this style of video btw hoping to see more of these reviews gives me "you and your friend in a cat cafe debating on what afps to duel on" vibes lol :3
for me I don't see there being a big enough reason to switch from my 3.0 until it breaks, certainly not for the price of getting another glass pad
Yeah I'm currently using the glaze and superglide, very happy with both. I more want the 4.0 as I enjoy experimenting and cba to resell it when they make a larger one
@@neocopy_ you say "when" but the skypad 3 was out for years and never got a large size 😭
you'd probably have fun with the skypad 4 but i don't think you would main it. how is the glaze holding up?
let me have my copium in peace 😭... glaze is holding up great, its starting to feel faster and smoother but idk if this is because of the uhmwpe tape infusing with the pad when I practice speedts the tape gets pretty warm LOL, there is a glaze ultra in the works so kinda hyped for that.
Thank you for the video my goat!
Hi, what mouse are you using in the video?
it's called the hc-kp by po_po_pyo on twitter
i bought jade donuts specifically for when this pad comes in tomorrow 🤦♂
thankfully, i have some obsidian dots leftover, so we'll see how it goes. great review, love the style
how did you like it?
@@jvnecat i like it a lot! ive had to swap to claw grip since the lack of finger microadjustments with palm grip was not working out very well, but my tracking is feeling a lot more fluid now. my jade skates are stuck in transportation limbo, so i cant comment on that
very kewl idea
can i use skypad 4.0 with default skates on logitech superlight?
i just took apart a gpx and threw away my logi skates yesterday 😭sorry idk
