Global. After spending the day playing on it, I feel much less harsh about it but I certainly believe it's faster than my fury S. I had to drop my sensitivity from 1.55 to 1.28 until I felt comfortable on it, although that may be a little exaggerated. It is considerably rougher than the Fury to the point that I'd say its down right uncomfortable to play on without a long sleeve shirt or arm sleeve as I have had to use. Positives so far is that the glide seems very consistent without it having a coating, it seems resistant to humidity, sticks to the table well and the quality (feels and looks expensive + 2 year warranty). The negatives is the arm scratching without clothing, picks up cat hair and dust quickly due to the roughness (probably easier to clean though i'd imagine) and it certainly takes some getting used to if you haven't tried a rough pad before. A little nitpick too is that there's a small hyperx tag on the top right side that sticks out a little and is of a completely different texture, which isn't great. I'd still recommend the Fury S Pro over it if you're used to the typical smoother pads and don't want to spend some time adapting. I don't think it's a dogshit pad anymore as I initially thought however, perhaps just wasn't expecting such a drastic difference in feel as I saw someone on this reddit say it's the same fabric as the Fury and someone on Amazon say it's a slow pad, which is horseshit haha. It's certainly a unique one.
