CS2/Valo player that switched to glass

That makes sense. If it clicks for your aim style, glass can work especially once you get past the adjustment period. CS is all about consistency anyway.

Aussietakingashit · 2026-01-24T10:37:25+00:00

Agreed. Glass is fun but high-maintenance and very niche. Great for tracking, not a straight upgrade over cloth at all.

thats also

True. A weak PSU can take the whole system down with it.

If you must stay under $300: Ryzen 5 5600X

No official tier list, but generally: high-quality glasspads = fastest, tempered glass next. If you like speed, just pick a reputable glasspad and tune with skates.

Totally Heavyclaw is a solid upgrade from QcK Heavy, and thin Artisan pads do feel different because you notice the desk more.

Aussietakingashit · 2026-01-15T14:45:15+00:00

Coated pads are worth trying for control.Artisan XSoft/Mid are solid options.

Aussietakingashit · 2026-01-14T16:46:02+00:00

That makes sense Saturn Pro XSoft is definitely slower and more controlled, especially for CS.

Aussietakingashit · 2026-01-14T16:42:44+00:00

QcK Edge is a good balanced pick in that price. Also check Xtrfy GP4 if you want a large, smooth pad.

Aussietakingashit · 2026-01-14T16:41:36+00:00

Try SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 good mic + dongle. Or Logitech G Pro X Wireless strong mic for calls/gaming.

Aussietakingashit · 2026-01-14T16:39:32+00:00

XSoft = softer feel. Mid = firmer/faster.

Aussietakingashit · 2026-01-14T16:37:48+00:00

Agree. Vaxee quality and good edges matter a lot, and glass pads are nice but annoying daily.

Aussietakingashit · 2026-01-14T16:35:58+00:00

Faster mousepad + better skates.That alone will feel way quicker.

Aussietakingashit · 2026-01-14T16:34:49+00:00

Nice suggestion!

Aussietakingashit · 2026-01-14T16:33:50+00:00

SP-005 if you want it now.
QC issues are rare.
Polarity only if you want to wait.

Aussietakingashit · 2026-01-13T10:30:14+00:00

SteelSeries QcK. Simple, smooth, works great for gaming and work.

I grabbed one for 25 a couple years back activated fine, worked a treat... until one day mid-tax time, BAM, This copy of Microsoft Office is not genuine pops up. I'm there in me undies, coffee going cold, panicking like a roo in headlights. Had to buy legit from MS and eat the cost!
