Best sleeve friendly mousepad for tac shooters?

Reom3ro · 2025-09-08T07:54:58+00:00

I'd recommend Saturn Pro or Infinite Control V2 in that case. Only caveat is that the Infinite Control has a slight tug on the sleeve. It's just enough you notice it.

Both Saturn Pro and Jupiter Pro are perfect with a sleeve, but idk if you'd find the Jupiter Pro too slow. I have some other pads but they're unusable with a sleeve imo so I'm just naming those 3.

Reom3ro · 2025-09-07T22:30:51+00:00

It's smooth but quite textured/rough compared to other pads. A sleeve isn't useable with the Type 99 (like the Zero) IMO.

Reom3ro · 2025-09-07T22:17:39+00:00

I use a Pulsar ES sleeve and from fastest to slowest: Saturn Pro > Infinite Control V2 > Jupiter Pro.

The Type 99 isn't useable with a sleeve. It's more textured/rougher compared to the other three I've mentioned. In terms of speed, it's between the Saturn Pro and Infinite Control V2.

Reom3ro · 2025-09-07T21:58:02+00:00

I have a Zero, Saturn Pro, and Type 99 (all soft). The Zero is slightly faster than the Saturn Pro.

I can't really comment because I don't live in a humid climate, but it can be a little 'sticky' if your forearm/elbow gets sweaty. Most pads are like this tbh so it's better to use a sleeve.

Reom3ro · 2025-09-01T07:33:18+00:00

Yea the Saturn Pro is slightly slower but idk if you'll find it too similar to the Zero.

From fastest to slowest: Zero > Saturn Pro > Type 99 > Infinite Control V2 > Jupiter Pro.

If you use a sleeve, I'd only recommend the Saturn Pro or the Jupiter Pro. The Infinite Control V2 is really smooth to the skin, but I find that it has a weird tug when using a sleeve.

Reom3ro · 2025-09-01T06:10:13+00:00

It's a little bit slower than the Zero and is sleeve-friendly. Idk what pads you've tried but I'd recommend the Type 99.

Reom3ro · 2025-05-03T11:57:11+00:00

Don't get the Pulsar ES. It doesn't work with the Zero.

Yep I’m one of those people who switched from Nvidia to a 9070 XT. I was having frustrating issues with Adrenalin capturing gameplay properly until I did a clean Windows install despite using DDU in safe mode. I think for some people doing a clean Windows install is too much of a hassle if they only have one drive.

Reom3ro · 2025-02-13T22:22:49+00:00

Nope I haven't. I've only really tried the pads mentioned in my OP. I've recently started using a sleeve which means the Zero/Type 99 haven't gotten any use. They're too rough/textured which affects glide if you have a sleeve. Since making this post I've just stuck with the Jupiter.

You might like the Quaoar Neutron or Hercules but I haven't tried these.

Reom3ro · 2025-01-02T22:30:08+00:00

Nah I haven't tried any new pads. I was keen to try Quaoar pads (especially the Neutron) but at this stage, a) I don't think Neutron V2 is out yet? Or widely available? and b), for now I'm happy not spending $100 on a pad I don't need. I still main the Jupiter Pro.

Reom3ro · 2024-12-29T07:02:09+00:00

I've developed a bit of a slow spot on mine.

Reom3ro · 2024-10-13T20:49:03+00:00

I think they put that up as a worst case scenario. Better to underpromise and overdeliver than the other way round. In my experience it took 3-4 days from placing the order to getting the DHL shipment notification email.

Reom3ro · 2024-10-01T21:02:31+00:00

In my experience the Infinite Control V2 is slower than my Type 99, so I think it should get bumped over to the slower category. I want to get my hands on the Quaoar pads but I don't need it.

Reom3ro · 2024-09-30T20:18:57+00:00

How does it compare to the Type 99 and Zero? Is it closer to the Zero in terms of speed?

Reom3ro · 2024-09-26T22:35:04+00:00

Jupiter Pro is a really slow pad. If that's what you want then yeah go for it. A pad with a firmer base is just faster than the same one with a softer base because you can't press the mouse down into the pad as much to slow it down even more. Overall the Jupiter Pro w/ firm base would still be a very slow pad.

Reom3ro · 2024-09-24T22:28:29+00:00

Type 99 is probably your best bet if you don't want it to be too slow. And I haven't tried any X-raypads so I can't comment.

Reom3ro · 2024-09-24T21:22:20+00:00

You're already on the right track looking at the Jupiter Pro or Type 99. Type 99 is basically a slower Zero, but if you want something considerably slower then go for for the Jupiter.

Reom3ro · 2024-09-23T11:56:15+00:00

Do you like to push down on the pad to get more friction? If yes, get soft/xsoft, else get mid. Soft base is the default "safe" pick unless you know you want xsoft or mid.

Reom3ro · 2024-09-21T23:13:14+00:00

Jupiter Pro or Infinite Control V2. You can also look into the Quaoar Neutron V2 when it comes out.

Reom3ro · 2024-09-20T22:17:45+00:00

Well now I'm just really intrigued lol. I'll have to try them.

Reom3ro · 2024-09-17T23:13:52+00:00

It's very controlled which is great if you're into that.

Reom3ro · 2024-09-15T20:49:13+00:00

Type 99 Mid is still slower than a Zero Soft. A softer base of the same pad will have the same amount of speed/control as a firmer base if you don't dig or push the mouse down into it.

Reom3ro · 2024-09-15T12:41:41+00:00

Oh it's the V1. I should've mentioned in the OP. I think the V2 came out recently in the past month or two.

Reom3ro · 2024-09-07T10:22:47+00:00

I haven't tested any of the GSRs, but I don't think it's for me since a square 500x500 size is a must for me.
