Should You Use Soft or Hard-Pads In 2026?

Should you use a fabric or glass mousepad? A question many find themselves asking lately, as fabric pads have been the standard for almost two decades now, but over the past couple years, alternative pads types such as glasspads have skyrocketed in popularity, and many are stuck in the conundrum of trying to decide what pad type they should get? Now I’ve been using both types of pads for almost three years now, and since I get asked this question a lot, I figured this would be a good a time as ever to make a guide to both pad types, and talk about their respective performance & friction profiles, axis balancing, durability, aiming experience, pros and cons and much more! I hope you all enjoy the review, and I will catch you in the next episode. Peace! 🍉 🕹️ Featured Games: KovaaKs: https://store.steampowered.com/app/82...
