GSR II sucks in the moisture -hausgaming 2023. It's kind of funny that a 6 year old pad feels very unique compared to almost all the other pads I've tried in 2022 / 2023 😂
nice video, did you use the np01s-w for the csgo clips? if so, with stock skates?
Hey mister, could you tell me what the "hardest to move the mouse" mousepad was that you got or heard of? I'm looking for a mousepad that provides extreme friction.
@@awakened2emptiness corsair mm200 pro heavy is insane
I've had the first one for a few years now. It does get dirt build-ups and some sweat but i always can easily clean it with wet cloth rinsed with dish soap. Always comes up smooth and feeling new
Super excited for this one in particular. Great review.
@MrMaxim did you already test the GSR II ? What's your thought about it ? would be great to check a one more experienced opinion about the mouse pad :)
I can't wait to get this pad. I love the OG G-SR. Mine just has a severe problem with humidity and I would love for that to be gone. It's so sticky I can barely move the mouse if it's humid.
i tested the ninjutso npc and the Saturn Pro, they are excellent pads and the base is actually better, but the control that the GSR gives me is a unique feeling, with it I feel that I really have control of my aim, despite the micro-adjustment being really worse. For me the big problem with the GSR has always been the humidity, the base and edges are totally acceptable and do not impact performance. I believe this new version will be my main mousepad, looking forward to the wait.
hi. Did you buy the GSR 2? How does it compare with the gsr 1? I changed my GSR for saturn pro because of the humidity resistance, but i miss the control i had with my gsr :(
im so hyped for this pad i check maxgaming several times a day xD. im just really worried it will have same issues with the rubber base for me. i had to tape gs-r with ducktape to table cuz its skating around
Never had any zowie GSR mousepad before. Super stoked that the GSR II (2) is going to be my first one!
WOW , the pad has come a long way. My 1st zowie could not even laid down since it was all curl up and, if folded would leave a crevice in that area
There are some other great alternatives to compare to the gsr I think you should review, such qingsui 2 pro+ and xraypad minvera DNA, would love to know which is the slowest 👍
may I ask what grip you use playing csgo? Also your sensitivity?
not related to this mouse pad, but how does the gsr-se rouge speed feel compared to saturn pro soft and artisan fx zero soft?
May have to get this. I adore the original GSR in game and it feels so luxurious to the touch too. Also cleans extremely well, a bit of soak with shampoo and a gentle wipe down with a microfiber cloth and it's practically brand new again.
Hey there, tiger ice vs corepads for this gsr2?
I want better micro ajustments but like the speed of glide
So what is the improvement? On high humidity summer days the pad will feel like it's been soaked? Sounds great.
Guess I'll just wash my GSR 1 and wait for GSR 3 if they actually make some improvements worth paying money for.
I hope they come out with a XL size. Like the saturn pro.
Haus you need to try the TheWhale Rizz Medium mousepad. I've nothing like it at the moment. Best csgo pad for me at least, GSR-SE Rouge a close second, third is Artisan Zero Soft.
Great video I cant wait to review this one :)
How does it compare to Xtrfy GP4 in terms of stopping power and speed?
I love the GSR so I will definitely buy this but I'm a bit disappointed that it doesn't come in a bigger size like 500x500 in a flat package. The base and stitching is still great on the GSR in my opinion. The base have never moved on any desk that I've tried it on and the stitching while not as amazing as an Artisan or LGG pad is still very comfortable.
zowie will keep doing the same thing until it doesnt sell anymore, they don't care
im on the same boat, why not 50x50? Im right now waiting fo the new lgg pad that is between jupiter and saturn, it may be the best for me as i wish for a 50x50
how does the new gsr se feel compared to the zero
would u say the durability of this would be better than the qck?
What dpi should i use for the gpx superlight 1 on the gsr 2 for cs?
What are your recommends for a slow Mousepad , I got some fast and medium/slow mousepads but nothing that sticks out in Control with a slower Pad. I like to use my Esportiger LongTeng SE with Glass skates. I wanna try the new Pads from TheWhale , he made new slow pads but im unsure what to get of them.
The Lethal Gaming Jupiter may be one for you.
Tarkov and Valorant player here:
TLDR: Got GSR-II, loved it. Got the new XXL Artisan Zero to get a pad with larger size: not as slow, texture/feel not as smooth as GSR-II. Essentially GSR-II feels superior in every way except for durability over time and material quality.
Purchased the GSR II coming from a 3XL Glorious Pad, and damn the pad feels amazing. Immeditalely felt like my performance was hurt by how small the pad is, but, after using it and getting used to it the size didn't bother me nearly as much. And, going back to the shitty glorious pad was just no longer an option.
Been wanting an Artisan Zero forever, but was not willing to spend $55 on it and also have such a small pad. BUT, they just dropped a new XXL version which is around 500x500mm.
Not too impressed with the Zero. I don't have that same control that I do on the GSR ii. Really don't like the rough feel of the pad.
The Zowie just glides so beautifully with how smooth it is, whilst still being slow or "muddy". I feel like it's 1 to 1 with my aiming behavior, like it's just doing exactly what I want it to with precision.
what is a cheap alternative of gsr?
@hausgaming what sens in CS?
How would this compare to a Gamesense Radar
What is the best skates to compliment this mousepad? I'm currently rocking the original GPXS with Tiger Ice Skates and LGG Saturn PRO (Red), and I only play CS:GO or now CS2.
Also I'm an AWP'er.
I watched a lot of videos about skates, and i have a conclusion, that tiger ice would be best with control pad, because they offer a bit more speed than the stocks, and if you use faster pad it would be corepads, because they're slightly slower than stocks (talking bout gpx stocks)
also i ordered orange zero xsoft and tiger ice glides for my x2, waiting for everything 🙏
also i ordered orange zero xsoft and tiger ice glides for my x2, waiting for everything 🙏
I combined x-raypad miverva (its like vaxee pa and gsr se) with superglide skates. For me the speed is perfect, also the mousepad is very comfortable to touch. EM-C was a little bit too fast. I havent tested new G-SR. One small size (470x390) - its a pathetic in my opinion. X-raypad offers a lot of sizes.
I'll have to try the Minerva! I have no problems whatsoever with the size personally!
@@hausgaming The width is good but the height should be definitely longer. I play with my elbow on the pad and the size 50x50 is one of best for me.
@@hausgaming What are your dpi and sensitivity settings in games? :D
I came to check the GSR II, but in between I was amazed with the smooth HS taps 😅😂
About the mousepad itself, I was expecting precisely the humidity issue to be fixed by, since I get my hand sweaty/oil easily specially from my wrist/base of my hand, so from what it looks like, that was not totally fixed, I should keep with the QCK for a bit more (at least I already know how to wash and dry him properly and make him like new), until I find a Mousepad suitable for my sweaty/humidity hands, and with a little more control feeling than the QCK, wich to me is its the negative point, it slides a little to much to my taste, despite of everyone saying that is a control pad. To me, QCK is a mid range, not a "real" control mousepad. I was really expecting the Zowie GSR II to be my next mousepad, but as we all know GSR is the humidity sponge King. I want a control mousepad, but with the muddy feeling, I have to pass 😂
@hausgaming It was nice if you can make a update video, telling how GSR II is performing after some weeks/months of use, people would appreciate a lot 😉 everybody is been asking about the same.
What is the best way to wash qck?
qck+ and qck heavy good mouse pads they are very fast with my gpro
Why does nobody ever talk about what pads feel like on the skin?
I've gotten used to stuff like the Hien and now that sorry of stuff doesn't matter.
Fnatic jet 🎉the best. If you can handle the speed - nothing is better.
Because gaming sleeves, Duh lol
Because its not as common to have a lot of skin touching the pad. You have to do a lot of digging to find anything on it, and then its still personal pref.
@@Divinity_vAcause hien doesnt have humidity resistant. U should try pulsar paraspeed. Smoothest codura for skin
What would you say compared to the EM-C the old G-SR 2.0, what are the Main differences ? ^^
ive heard saturn pro and artisan are alot better but the gsr 2 is what follows
How would you compare GSR 2 with Odin Eclipse? Which one is faster?
Definitely odin. gsr is one of the slowest glides
@@monk01001v Thanks for the response. I main Odin right now and I might be interested in something even slower. Definitely not rocketjumpninja's pad slow as that seemed way too slow.
Also coming from Odin Eclipse, wanted something slightly faster. Got the Saturn Pro Xsoft recently and think its too fast. Would EM-C or GSR 2 be better for what I'm looking for?
so gsr 1 is slower than gsr 2?
Not only for valorant and cs2. As a hitscan player(Widowmaker, Ashe), I can say that mousepad is mught be the best choice for hitscan players in overwatch 2.
im so sad they didnt made a bigger version..
how would you compare it to the Endgame EM-C and Vaxee PA Black?
Years ago I played with the GSR and like it a lot but after it was worn out I made the switch to other mouse pad from slow to fast but probably i want to go back.
I currently use the Vaxee PA Black
There is a comparison with the EM-C in the video! PA black feels the most similar, but PA is tad faster and a tad more pull when switching directions. GSR II is also smoother than the PA black.
Can you say "You can become a deagle demon" in your next review?
Cool. I am personally more interested in the GSR SE Gris
It's the same exact pad as the G-SR-SE Rouge! I should have a review about it somewhere!
@@hausgaming Yea I just much prefer the darker color scheme :D
@@lnbabzIssue is the GSR-SE doesn't hold up well over time
6:09 "having only used the pad for TWO weeks." caught u exposed
are you going to review the Rizz mousepad ?
Depends on how unique it is, it will at least be included in a mousepad roundup!
Kurosun Ninja will be in roundup?@@hausgaming
Is the gsr 2 good for low sens?
no bc its really slow pad
Well, seem like nothing exciting with this new release, I'm sticking with my gigantus v2 then, much value with the low price😛
the stitching is already fraying on the new copy. it would have been nice if they updated the stitching to be better imo.
You mean on the video? That's my own doing, which is why I did not mention it. I was doing some disassembly on the pad and sadly had my iFixit packaging velcro straps attach to the stitching for about 5 mins :(. Ripping them off caused the fraying.
yes on the video. and ok thanks for the clarification, so the same exact stitching as the old one like feel and durability as far as you can tell so far? @@hausgaming
gsr 2 or vaxee pa black?
Vaxee
woah!!
Crosshair and resolution on csgo ?
1920x1440p 4:3 and I don't remember my crosshair settings sadly. It looks very different on any other resolution
@@hausgamingI actually play the same resolution recently got a Alienware 27inch 1440p moved over from the xl2456k loving to tbh don’t see a difference without dyac. When you go into cs if you don’t mind let me know the crosshair ! Love the channel
@@dimitritheori5339 Which settings do you want brother? I'm not sure about what all the settings are called :D
@@hausgaming the crosshair code bro , size gap , thickness
Its kinda sad , i use the xl2566k and I cant make a costum res over 1440x1080 with amd card xD My Nvidia res back in the days was so wild. 2048x1536 was my lovely res back in the days, felt good on nivida card.
wahts ur main mouse
A video about this VERY soon!
The amount of pc peripheral products that are just combinations of letters and numbers for their names breaks my brain sometimes lol.
lmao yeah, it is irritating :D
Are we saying the Artisan mouse pads were overrated now or is the GSR really that good? I thought the Artisans were considered the best, I've been having the zero for a few years now
It's all subjective, depends entirely on your preferences. Artisan pads have the highest quality, but the surface properties / glide are not something I absolutely love.
@@hausgaming I see where you are coming from. I want to stick to cloth and I'd prefer if my zero was a bit slicker but If I'm correct thats the only artisan pad which is 100% cloth right? I may have to try a gsr II as per your recommendation !
@@88chimesartisan is overrated, speed and feel of the mouse pad over everything. Some people think artisan mouse pads are too fast and for those people it’s not the best option.
Esports Tiger Qinsui 2 Pro/Pro+ is supposed to be a high quality GSR with 6mm thickness (kinda GSR/QCK Heavy mix). Maybe you can test it on your channel.
I love GSR coating for perfect flicks and control but the silicone base is horrible and the 390mm height is insufficient for me.
Zowie doesn't care about innovation to a point they can't even properly improve a GSR. They don't deserve our money.
Qinsui 2 specifically, or is the Qinsui 3 the same pad? Any idea?
The GSR II is way too fast. It is almost as fast as my Artisan Zero Xsoft.
I seriously dont undertstand you at all.
Putting zowie gsr on the tier list "Dont buy it" section,
getting the zowie gsr 2, call it "BEST MOUSEPAD!!!!", #1 for valorant, cs and tac fps, while complaining about it to be the same mouse as the zowie gsr,
how can I trust your opinion?
Does the GSR 2 still have the same absolute dogshit slippery mc dippery underside like the original GSR?
Too small - 2023. Not 2011. Won't touch any Zowie or fnatic pads due to them MAJORLY cheaping out on size, STILL. They're shaving every inch they can possibly 'get away with' off. For profit.
500x500 flat packed in 2023.
Flat packed I don't really care about, but imo yes pads should at least be larger than 450, I would say the height is useless, however 500x500 has the unnecessary height I'll never need when aiming, except that it makes the pad much more comfortable for my poture, where I don't have two different surfaces underneath my forearm, so it's only the pad there and not my sticky desk near the elbow + the pad
@@p1va9 I won't touch ANY cloth pad touted as for competitive/professional use costing over £30, that does not ship flat packed. It's 2023. 15 years ago I accepted wrestling with a cloth pad that cost £20 for 2 weeks and finally getting it to lay '99%' flush. NOT in 2023/NEAR 2024!!!!!!!! Costing £40+ !!
Flat packed, proper size options, or they can buy a Delorean with a flux capacitor and try me in 2008.
would be all over it if it has 500x500.......loves my GSR but it is just way too small in 2023....
100% THIS
Hard disagree! I think the size is fine, but I do understand that some people want 50x50, although there aren't that many!
@@hausgaming 450x450 is 100% fine for me but less is ............ .................. My current pad is 475x475x5mm which is absolutely awesome, but 500x500 is top tier size I'd say these days. The GSR is way way way two small. EGG on point as always. There's no comparison between Zowie/Fnatic and EGG.
EGG just deliver on point products and quite frankly with civil prices - considering....
@@fwabble Fair
@@hausgaming I literally love your accent.
Size is not decent for tracking games
Totally fine for me in Quake, OW & KovaaKs!
People who play tracking games tend to have higher sens, what you talking about 🤨
Same rubber base is an instant pass for me. 👎🏼
First
so they basically barely changed it. wow...
Why would they have changed it? Fixing the durability and humidity problems are the only things they really needed to do 💪. Could've increased the size, but most people will be fine with this.
Ryan they literally fixed the only things that were wrong with it lmao that’s all it needed
@@hausgaming How is the humidity problem fixed by making the pad absorb the moisture in the air? 🤔
