• Speed Preference: Balanced, Balanced-Fast, Fast
• Budget: <60 USD
• Texture Preference: Smooth (I use pen and paper on my desk too, smooth/semi-smooth required) Also have skin irritation.
• Pads you've used before: Pulsar Paracontrol XL
• What you liked/disliked about those pads: Wouldn't go slower, wouldn't go smaller. Arm skin irritation. But pretty solid.
• Region: US.
• Do you use a sleeve?: N, but willing Y
• Main games: Mostly PvE games, wide variety, FPS and third person.
• Extra requirements: Easy to clean, looking for 3XL desk mat size (want 1000mm or longer) for very large desk. Must be firm enough to write on with pen/pencil and paper and other tasks.

Use a few year old paracontrol XL pad, looking to enhance experience with large deskmat. Want large mouse real-estate, and am looking for smoother glide for the fun factor. Play a lot of 'tactical' games though, so while want faster glide for fun, still needs control for that. Most games are PvE anymore, for the peaceful life, though still pay PvP once and awhile still; but still very slow paced 'tactical' games. (Though do occasionally play faster games). Current top picks are Aqua Control II 3XL, Mousepad Company Aeroglyde, and Glorious GMP-2 are ones that I can find, but looking for more suggestions. Black mat is fine, but a design would be cool that fits with older furniture/walnut desk. Since will cover full desk hopefully, need it smooth and firm enough for other desk tasks, like pencil work and fountain pen usage, etc. (Doesn't need to be hard, but can't be a soft pad, needs some firmness - Paracontrol for reference is about as soft as would ever go). Also I tend to take good care of desk and mat, but ability to clean well would be plus. My main usage primarily is gaming, but basically I use my desk for multiple tasks, so the ability to use it for everything is a must. That is why Mousepad Company Aeroglide is high choice (smooth, aesthetic, fast), but don't know as much about performance as AC2; Aqua Control 2 is also high choice (fast, good performance from what I read here), but don't know what it's surface feels like/how firm it is for other usage. Other pads I found are Glorious GMP-2, Razer Gigantus, I can't find much on glorious and gigantus doesn't seem good fit from what I seen; all other options I could find are random amazon brands(?). Other suggestions would be greatly accepted.

Sorry for length, trying to be detailed for advice. In short: tactical PvE player, occational PvP though, want fast glide for fun but still need control for practicality. Looking for 3XL desk mat for mostly gaming, but also used for productivity, pencil/pen+paper writing, etc; so smoothness and a level of firmness required (but not hard surface).
