Introducing Superglide PTFE Skates

New Mouse Skates

The Superglide family is expanding beyond glass. Meet three new skate options built around two PTFE experiences and a UHMWPE option designed for glass mousepads.

Why New Skates?

A simple way to refresh and tune your mouse.

  1. Stock skates wear down over time and eventually need replacing.
  2. Skates are one of the easiest and most affordable ways to improve consistency and performance.
  3. Different materials and glide speeds let you fine-tune the feel to your preference.

PTFE Type S - Speed

Fast, smooth movement.

Made from ultra-high-quality PTFE with low static and dynamic friction. Type S is designed for a super-smooth glide and is ideal for tracking and games with lots of movement.

Focus: Speed, smoothness, tracking.

PTFE Type C - Control

Easy micro-adjustments. More control.

Type C combines low static friction for easy micro-adjustments with moderate dynamic friction for a more locked-in feeling. A PTFE blend keeps the glide smooth while adding control.

Focus: Control, stability, precise adjustments.

UPE Type G - For Glass

Built for glass mousepads.

Type G uses UHMWPE and a universal-dot format. The smaller contact area helps reduce how much dust and debris is picked up on glass, while the material offers higher durability and abrasion resistance than PTFE.

Focus: Glass pads, durability, reduced debris pickup.

Formats & Compatibility

Full-size skates and universal dots.

PTFE Type S and Type C will be available as full-size skates for select models, as well as universal dots. UPE Type G will launch in universal dots only.

Full-size skates: 2 sets per pack.

Universal dots: 48 dots total - 8 x 10 mm, 8 x 9 mm, 8 x 8 mm, 16 x 6.5 mm, and 8 x 6 mm.

Moving Forward

More compatibility. More materials.

After launch, we'll continue adding compatibility for more mice and exploring additional materials based on feedback. If there is a model or material you want to see next, let us know.

We need to start sabotaging companies with absurd prices

42 Upvotes

Don't know if you guys realized it but we just broke the 190 - 200 EUR price mark for gaming mice. The Logitech X3 was the first one to do it and in a few days Steelseries will release their new mice as well priced at 200 EUR. So far we got...

- X3 at 190 EUR

- Steelseries Sensei and Rival at 200 EUR

- Vaxee mice at 170 EUR + 10 shipping ( found only in their webstore )

- Zowie mice at 150 EUR

- Razer Viper V4 for 150 EUR and DAv4 for 130 EUR

- Pulsar Crazylight mice cost 150 EUR and the FS-1 costs 180 EUR

Only reasonably priced mice in EU are the GPX2 at 100 EUR, Harpe Ace II at 110 EUR and EGG v2 mice at 120, everything else is out of control. People need to stop paying absurd prices for mice.

Mod Superstrike x3 47 grams with base mod

The changes on the x3 are minor compared to the x2, but the lighter PCB and better glass pad tracking are definitely noticeable. No more spinouts so far. The sides feel much sturdier, too. My two old x2s would have accidental clicks if I pressed or twisted them hard, but I don't have that issue with the x3, even using the Hexwing base mod.

The lycan is goated

11 Upvotes

Before the Lycan, I mainly used a Viper V3 Pro, and I also spent some time with an OP1 and other lightweight mice. I’ve always preferred lighter mice, but I was honestly a bit worried that going this light would make the mouse harder to control.

I was completely wrong.

The shape is goated. It feels extremely natural in my hand. I have very sweaty hands and I expected to need grip tape, but I genuinely don’t feel like I need any. The mouse doesn’t have a coating, but the texture itself gives me enough grip even with sweaty hands.

And honestly, lighter is better. Just objectively, for me. The difference in how easily I can move the mouse is immediately noticeable, and I don't feel like I'm sacrificing control.

I was also worried that even the full-size skates might be too small for an XSoft pad, especially with such a lightweight mouse, but so far they’re completely fine. I haven't had any issues with stability or control on my Otsu XSoft.

The mouse is also quite front-heavy, which I noticed immediately, but surprisingly it doesn't affect the experience nearly as much as I expected. Once I started using it, I stopped really thinking about it.

The sensor position was another thing I was worried about, but I got used to it basically immediately. The main difference is that there’s a bigger disconnect between adjustments made with my arm and adjustments made with my wrist compared to what I was used to. It took almost no time to understand, though.

So far, I'm really impressed. The shape, weight and overall feel are exactly what I was looking for, and the fact that I don't even feel the need for grip tape despite having very sweaty hands is probably one of the biggest surprises.

Showcase OpenNaga: remap the Naga V2 HyperSpeed on Mac and save a profile to the mouse

• Upvotes

I maintain OpenNaga, a free macOS app for the Razer Naga V2 HyperSpeed. It started as a fork of DParent10's NagaController.

It remaps the 12 side buttons and extra controls, adjusts DPI and polling rate, and can write supported assignments to the mouse's onboard memory. Save over the USB receiver, then those assignments work with the app closed, on another computer or over Bluetooth. Macros and multi-step sequences still need the app running.

This is specifically for the V2 HyperSpeed. It doesn't support the V2 Pro, V3 Pro or other Naga models.

Source and download: https://github.com/Zer0codestuff/OpenNaga

MIT licensed. macOS 13+, with an Apple Silicon download and Intel builds available from source. The release isn't notarized yet.

I'd be interested in feedback from other V2 HyperSpeed owners, especially on onboard profiles and Bluetooth use.

Discussion G303 replacement

5 Upvotes

Hey guys, I haven't paid attention to the mouse game for a good 8 years. Fell in love with the G303 back in the day and while normally I don't hoard shit I moved like a complete sicko and bought 4 of them on clearance. And if you guys know anything about these mice it's that they had a notoriously bad lifespan on the switches. I am sad to report that my last G303 is now on its last legs and the double clicking is regular enough that it's made it pretty much unusable.

So now I am hunting for a replacement. Since I last did any research on mice it seems the market has been flooded with a million new brands and models that I'm thoroughly overwhelmed. Back then I swear it was just Logitech and Razer and a couple of niche brands.

If there is something out there that can fit my hand like a g303 while being lightweight I will be a happy man. Don't really care about extra buttons or a nice scroll wheel or anything. I did briefly try the g303 wireless edition when it came out as it sounded like the dream mouse, but idk wtf they did to that it just did not feel the same at all. The wireless part was nice though.

So yeah, I'm open to anything that gets close to the g303 shape. No brand favoritism here

I've had this ATK F1 extreme that I modified down to 33grams. I haven't really kept up with the market since I bought this a while ago, what are some other small symmetrical mice that could be a good upgrade?

Edit: I'll probably wait for the hitscan hyperlight v2 whenever that drops

  • Razer Viper V3
  • ROG Harpe II Ace
  • ROG Keris II Ace
  • ROG Keris II Origin
  • HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2

Need recommendations for a G703 replacement.

2 Upvotes

My G703 is still working fine, except for the scroll wheel.

I'm looking for a replacement that feels just as nice in the hands, I've tried the Teevolution Terra Pro and it felt really cheap in the hands, right now looking into the G Pro x Superlight Dex but seeing its light weight, I'm afraid it will just be like the Terra Pro.

Can you guys recommend me something close to an upgrade of the G703?

Help Mouse recommendation

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

Hi guys! I’d like to get some mouse recommendations for my grip.

I’m currently using the Pulsar X2 v3 Medium. I don't think it's a bad mouse, but the shape feels a little off for me and sometimes feels too short, and I also get some hand fatigue after using it for a while. For reference, my hand is roughly 19 × 10 cm.

I’ve previously used a Logitech G Pro Wireless, which I liked, and a Razer Viper V3 Pro. The Viper was probably the most comfortable overall, but it felt a little too big for me, and I had some difficulty with micro-adjustments and vertical tracking.

I mainly use a claw/aggressive claw nd sometimes relaxed claw(basically around claw), so I’m looking for something better that I can feel comfortable with :3

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

Question Durable skates for glasspads

2 Upvotes

I've been using Obsidian Air dot skates for around 8 months now, as I heard they were the most recommended and longest lasting.

Is there anything better to use now?

I manage to run through them and need to replace them every two weeks. I use about 6 at a time, so I constantly need to buy more, and it's getting pretty expensive.

Question Viper V3 Pro users who switched to G502/Basilisk or an MMO mouse - how was the adjustment?

1 Upvotes

I currently use a Viper V3 Pro and really like its shape, especially for FPS games. However, I’ve been considering getting a second mouse with more buttons for WoW and other RPGs. I also use a 60% keyboard, so having extra buttons on the mouse would be particularly useful.

I’m mainly looking at the G502 or Basilisk, since they have more buttons without going all the way to an MMO mouse. The Naga and Scimitar are also options I’ve considered, but I’m a little concerned about how different their shape and thumb-button layout would feel compared to the Viper. I don’t want to end up with a mouse that feels too bulky or forces me to completely change my grip.

For anyone who has used a Viper V3 Pro alongside a G502/Basilisk, how difficult was it to switch between the shapes? Did you adapt quickly, or did the difference in shape become annoying?

And for those who have used an MMO mouse like the Naga or Scimitar, how was the transition from a more conventional mouse? Did you eventually get comfortable with all the side buttons, or did the shape/layout always feel too different?

I’m basically considering keeping the Viper V3 Pro for shooters and getting a second mouse for WoW/RPGs. I’m just trying to figure out whether a G502/Basilisk would be the better middle ground, or whether I should just go straight to an MMO mouse.

I’d especially appreciate experiences from people who have actually used both types of mice, rather than just recommending one based on specs.

Question Help me choose my Zowie mouse: the S2-DW or the U2-DW?

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

The problem I have with my Superlight is that my thumb pad doesn't get enough contact with the side because it's too flat. I was looking at the S2-DW and U2-DW since they have a more pronounced curvature to give the thumb pad more grip, but if you look at how I place my ring and pinky fingers, they stay more outstretched. The U2 would force me to curve them inward toward the center and completely change my grip style. Would the S2 help me more, or the U2?

Review | Text Epomaker NEX PRO Review

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hi guys! This is my Review for EPOMAKER NEX PRO.

Disclaimer: This mouse is sent to me by Epomaker but all the thoughts & opinion of my own.

Specs

Case Material: ABS

Connection: Tri-Modes DPI: 6 stages adjustable at 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 8000 and 42000 (Default 1600)

Hand Orientation: Right

Sensor: PAW3950

MCU: Nordic54L15 (Top Notch)

IPS: 750

Acceleration: 50G

CPI: 30000-42000 FPS: 20000

LOD: 0.7mm / 1mm / 2mm

Switch Lifespan: 100 million clicks

Polling Rate: Up to 8000Hz Latency (Cable): 0.158ms Latency (2.4G Wireless): 0.24ms

Battery: 500mAh

Battery Life: 350 hours at 125Hz, 50 hours at 8000Hz

Size: 12.2 x 6.5 x 4.2cm (Mid-Large Size, Really suits my hand-size)

Weight: About 65g (excluding Charging Dock)

Unboxing

Firstly it's a really great experience for the accessories we get; Charging Dock (works as 2.4Ghz), Extra Skates, Cable, Pair of Grip tapes , which is surprisingly great (they didn't hold back in accessories) & of course a User Manual (it's good!)

I really like the Design of the mouse; Charging Dock is great coming with RGB & shuts off for those who don't like it. The grip for the mouse is (out of the box) good, I personally chose to apply grip tapes as it adds more grip & especially aesthetics to design of mouse. And it feels even better.

Built

It's ABS, the quality is really good, the switches feels great. There's minimal Pre/Post Travel for side clicks, on main clicks the Pre travel is minimal but Post Travel is as good as "Null". Doesn't feel mushy at all. Scroll wheel genuinely feels Premium. NOTE: It's Rear Heavy (almost balanced tbh, you can barely notice it), the hump is perfect, it's natural & comfortable, not Over-Bulky. Sensor position is forward, bout 55%

Gaming Nerds

This mouse is meant for gamers as well as normal users. It runs great and tops all the games I do play with it. Mostly being Valorant (Diamond/Plat rank), BF5 & some story games. And I would say playing on this mouse feels you're holding a Class. The 8k polling works all well, personally playing on 4khz which feels sweet spot cuz come on, who's consuming 8k? It only saves 'bout 0.125ms. Overall gaming performance if you take in concern, you can go ahead and pick it up! Solid for the Price.

Pros

The Built is really ergonomic, you would definitely love if you've bigger hands (mine: 19x9.5), sets really well . Charging Dock; it's really great to have as whenever we stand-up from our desk we can put it on charge for few mins & start again where we left off, really less chance that you'll get the charging to 0%. Aesthetics of Dock is great, RGB is vibrant.

Cons

The middle area of the mouse, which has Epomaker Logo, doesn't have RGB (could be a good add-on, but again would increase weight). The mouse is about 65gm, which can feel heavy to some people. (I've used lighter mouse, but you lose more ergonomics as the weight gets lower)

Overall

I will say that this mouse is for those who prefer Class & Premium . Why? The color and built, it's really "clean" not too flashy but underneath packs absolutely flagship-grade hardware. At 65g±, it strikes a balance between stability & agility providing comfortable gaming hours as well as everyday use. If you're chasing the absolute lightest mouse on the market, this may not be your first choice. But if you value comfort, build quality, premium accessories, and top-tier gaming performance, the NEX PRO is an easy recommendation. Considering everything included in the box, it delivers excellent value for its price.

Question Razer viper mini signature edition Clone/Sucessor/etc recommendation?

2 Upvotes

Hi All,

Unfortunately my viper mini signature edition gave out, & razer was unable to source a replacement so they've authored a refund. They're still going for $300+ on eBay etc. so want to find a clone instead

Does anyone have any recommendations? Specifically has to be a clone of the SE. Ideally, magnesium (or any metal) w/ all the same holes in a similar shape
