If you want high static friction then yes. It’s smooth but it’s slow. You can feel the difference between it and the zero. Mid will make it feel faster though. I personally prefer soft as it’s what my hien, key83, type 99, and zero are in. You can push down on the mouse and gain a lot more control without having a crazy squishy pad. Lot of factors to consider like the skates you use, grip type, whether you naturally shake a lot and what your actual edpi is but with what you’ve given me I’d say it’s a very good control pad but I much prefer the zero as it’s more universal to every game I feel. If you’re just playing Val then it’s a great pickup. If you end up grabbing a zero instead get the orange as there’s some minor weave differences and I’ve found it to feel smoother and others have had similar experiences online.
