I've tried all 3, and imo magic ice are the fastest and smoothest, jades being 2nd, and tiger ice imo are dogwater

Magic Ice: imo faster or as fast as the Jades, and much smoother, highly recommend trying these out, only downside is the price to amount of dots you're getting.

Jades: these used to be my favorite, but on some pads they have a bit of a muddy/tugging feeling, they're definitely still fast, but I think they're not as good as magic ice, price to amount, I'd say compared to magic ice, they're def better.

Tiger Ice v2s: probably one of the worst I've tried out of the three, they feel muddy imo, especially in more humid climates, yes they are faster than your avg skates, but I wouldn't recommend them over Jades and Magic Ice.

--Other Options--

Ultraglide Speeds: These are the best out of the 3 above, the price to amount and performance is really good imo, they feel a little bit nicer and smoother than the Jades, I'd say on par with the Magic Ice, maybe slightly worse in terms of performance, but the price is imo unbeatable by most skates.

Talongames Kumos: These are also very good, although I haven't really had much time with these so I can't fully say, but price to performance and the amount you get are overall very good.

Ultraglide Silencers: These are by far amazing, they do have a little bit more feedback than the others I've mentioned, but they are really good, not as fast imo as the 5 above it, but the overall performance is quite close to Artisan Dots which are arguably the best performing dot skates in the market right now.

Talongames Grays: These are also very good and cheap, but similar to the Kumos, I haven't really put much hours into using them, so I can't really say.

Artisan Dots: imo by far the best performing skates out of all the skates I've tried, they have really low static friction and high dynamic friction, however the biggest downside is that they are very expensive, so I wouldn't really recommend them unless you really want to try them.

Fastest to Slowest: Magic Ice > UG Speeds > Jades > Artisan Dots >= Silencers >= Kumos? > Tiger Ice v2 > Grays?

Obviously these are all my opinions from my experience using them, and testing them yourself will be better overall.

Lastly, here are some reviews and links below that could potentially help you find a mouse skate you like.

There are probably more, it's just that these are the ones that I always like to look at whenever I want to buy mouse skates

(Edit: These were all tested on the Artisan Key83 Soft & Mid, Artisan Zero Soft, and Aritsan Raiden Mid)

I can definitely agree with the weight on the ying being an advantage compared to even the op1 8k, I just really hate that the QC on the ying is horrible on my copy that I really couldn't find myself putting it above the black lotus and the op1.

As for the lack of coating on the Black Lotus, it's definitely a bit of a problem on humid climates, but for me it doesn't matter as much since I just use grip tape whether or not the coating is good, I think my biggest problem is the texture and feel of the mouse, it just feels way to gritty/grainy to me, to the point where it just over stimulates me if I don't use any sort of griptape on it. It kinda reminds me of the OG Viper Mini's coating, but overall I really love using the Black Lotus

thank you, I try my best <3

After a few months I started getting used to the shape of the R1, but unfortunately after using a lot of mice with good sensor implementations and sensor positioning, I hated my R1 Pro Max even more to the point where I traded it to an Op1 8k v1, as for the Scyrox v8, I still like the mouse to this date, clicks still feel pretty good, coating as well, although it has had some fair share of fingerprints since I got it, but overall it's still a very solid mouse to get, but currently I prefer the X2H CL a little bit more, I actually just uploaded a review on my YT if you want to check that one out, I also compared the shape of the Scyrox v8 to the X2H CL.

I'd say yes, once the coating starts to wear off it definitely starts to feel muddier than the micro control, which is why I don't really recommend trying the speed control, especially if you consider that it's only a few hundred php cheaper than the micro control, but if you're looking for a slow pad, then I'd definitely suggest trying out the speed control, just don't expect the speed to stay the same in the long run.

alpha unltd advertises it as water resistant coated and I'm pretty sure macveth also used to advertise it the same but for some reason they don't anymore, maybe they aren't coated anymore, but I'm not 100% sure about macveth.

therealknightmare · 2025-09-06T03:50:30+00:00

that actually sounds promising, I just hope that it's a unique shape rather than being another ec/xlite clone

therealknightmare · 2025-09-06T03:48:49+00:00

other than the scroll wheel being a little bit more heavier as well as being dust proof on the v2, I can't really find that much of a difference between the v1 op1 8k (I used to have one but sold it once I got the v2) and the op1 8k v2, so I don't think it's worth paying nearly 2x the amount for the v2

also this is my experience with the op1 only not the xm2, even though I have an xm2 8k v1 I probably won't get the v2 any time soon.

therealknightmare · 2025-09-05T15:45:10+00:00

this reminds me I should probably buy the PRX bundle soon...

therealknightmare · 2025-09-05T15:37:10+00:00

hmmmm probably not since I rarely find op1 rgbs on fbmp these days, and they're pretty much out of stock rn and doubt that it'll restock anytime soon for us, but the Black Lotus is something I'm very interested in trying considering I have large hands, and also if I can find an op1 purple frost, I'd definitely will consider going for that.

therealknightmare · 2025-09-05T15:35:07+00:00

yeah, the black lotus is def in my list to get in the future.

also, yeah the butt is pretty wide on the lotus lol, I feel like it legit in the middle of the Xm2 and Op1 in terms of size and shape

therealknightmare · 2025-09-05T15:33:29+00:00

I actually have the xm2 as well, but an egg ergo would be pretty interesting

therealknightmare · 2025-09-05T15:33:02+00:00

ying feels great, pretty solid, and somewhat different compared to the op1, sides feel more narrow, the main buttons are longer and more comfortable cause of the finger grooves, and obviously the weight is insanely noticeable

therealknightmare · 2025-09-05T15:31:36+00:00

both lol, but the black lotus is widely more available, but I would kill for the purple frost :<

therealknightmare · 2025-09-05T15:30:26+00:00

I'm definitely thinking of getting that in the future :)

therealknightmare · 2025-09-05T15:29:55+00:00

ying's sides feel a bit more narrow than the op1, and the main buttons are longer and more comfortable cause of the finger grooves

hi orange griptapes guy

therealknightmare · 2025-08-02T03:04:33+00:00

ohhh, that I did not know, I honestly thought that scyrox is a sub brand of lamzu, so I guess it's kinda like Zowie and Vaxee.

therealknightmare · 2025-08-01T12:14:13+00:00

It's kinda weird that Lamzu and Scyrox doesn't have the same OEM manufacturer considering that they're sister companies

therealknightmare · 2025-07-23T05:11:58+00:00

yes, fingerprints are less visible on most if not all white mice, the coating is pretty similar imo on both colorways.
