1 00:00:00,190 --> 00:00:04,500 - Have you ever been gaming on a mousepad and it just feels like garbage? 2 00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:09,130 You know, it snags a little bit like it's getting old or it's too smooth 3 00:00:09,130 --> 00:00:12,840 and you push your mouse and it goes all the way over? I mean, that's not usually much of a problem 4 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:17,080 because you want no fraction. But you wanna upgrade, but what do you get? 5 00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:20,605 Well. - [Man] KY Jelly. (laughing) 6 00:00:20,605 --> 00:00:25,070 - The Skypad, professional gaming gear. So this is a tempered glass mousepad. 7 00:00:25,070 --> 00:00:29,670 I haven't used glass before but I have used a lot of like hard countertops 8 00:00:29,670 --> 00:00:32,900 as well as like metal. - [Man] Also textbooks help. 9 00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:37,430 - Yeah, textbooks. You know, if you're really poor you can just use a textbook 'cause that's what you spend all your money on. 10 00:00:37,430 --> 00:00:41,993 They sent us a whole bunch. This is the XL on the bottom. 11 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,290 And these are the regular guys. They come in a lot of colors which is pretty cool. 12 00:00:46,290 --> 00:00:51,940 They come in black, white, green, red and blue. So they claim that it's like incredibly accurate 13 00:00:51,940 --> 00:00:56,400 and it's super smooth, so there's like zero friction. They actually sell extra mouse feet, 14 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,840 so you gotta get the Teflon footpads and pop those at 'em. 15 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,460 Really feel the glide. They've also got another product on their page, 16 00:01:04,460 --> 00:01:08,530 the gaming ARM sleeve. That's what I'm set on. 17 00:01:08,530 --> 00:01:12,500 'Cause honestly, you know, not gonna lie, there's been times, especially in the summer 18 00:01:12,500 --> 00:01:15,990 where you're gaming like all day and then your ARM starts to hurt. 19 00:01:17,180 --> 00:01:20,490 It shouldn't and that should be a sign that you should maybe stop playing games. 20 00:01:20,490 --> 00:01:23,700 But it just chaves a little bit from the material. 21 00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:27,173 - [Man] It wouldn't fit on those guns. - Yeah, it wouldn't fit on these guns. I'm getting fat, 22 00:01:27,173 --> 00:01:30,670 my T-shirts are starting to get a little tight on me. - [Man] Just go play badminton with Linus. 23 00:01:30,670 --> 00:01:33,900 - No, no, I'll just game more. That'll solve my problem. 24 00:01:33,900 --> 00:01:37,700 That's how I'll lose weight, I'll just game more. These are supposed to be super thin as well, 25 00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:41,540 they're really low profile. Yeah, that's glass, all right. 26 00:01:41,540 --> 00:01:45,060 It's tempered glass. - [Man] Don't drop it. - I won't drop it 27 00:01:45,060 --> 00:01:49,650 'cause it will probably break. I don't know if it's these guys or the new XL one but the feet are supposed to be like point five millimeter 28 00:01:49,650 --> 00:01:53,020 and then it's supposed to be 3.2 millimeter for the rest of the pad. 29 00:01:53,020 --> 00:01:56,720 So it should sit about 3.7 millimeters above your desk, 30 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:01,670 which isn't too bad. 'Cause our mousepad is probably pretty close. 31 00:02:01,670 --> 00:02:07,670 So it's basically just a little bit higher than the stitched edge of our own mat. 32 00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:11,653 Yeah, that feels okay. Like if I just hold my hand here, we've got a wrist rest. 33 00:02:13,063 --> 00:02:15,486 Ah, but see that's the thing, what if I was wearing-- 34 00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:20,640 Yeah, I kind of want the gaming sleeve already. It doesn't slide all that much, 35 00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:24,840 but the problem is we don't have one with proper Teflon feet. We do have a G303. 36 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,760 This is actually the Shroud mouse as well. I mean, that really just changes the shape 37 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:34,380 of it a little bit, 'cause it's molded for Shroud or whatever. But like, I don't know, it slides okay. 38 00:02:34,380 --> 00:02:39,580 This doesn't seem, I don't know. So I've tried hard mouse pads in the past 39 00:02:39,580 --> 00:02:44,271 and there's something that's not the same as a cloth pad 40 00:02:44,271 --> 00:02:47,606 and part of it's the silence. You can hear this. 41 00:02:47,606 --> 00:02:51,173 That is so much quieter. It's still audible. 42 00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:56,890 But like-- I wish we had the Teflon feet. 43 00:02:56,890 --> 00:02:58,780 - [Man] So that one, the 2.0 XL-- 44 00:02:59,907 --> 00:03:03,990 - Yeah. - [Man] Is on Amazon for 97 US dollars. 45 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:10,700 - Like honestly, considering how much a proper cloth desk pad can cost you 46 00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:17,130 and the fact that this is like a hard material. Like it's super stain resistant, super spill resistant. 47 00:03:17,130 --> 00:03:21,480 You're not gonna ruin it unless you drop it on like a tile or ceramic or concrete or something. 48 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,340 Even if you drop this on wood. Like I could probably drop this on laminate and it would probably be okay. 49 00:03:25,340 --> 00:03:31,270 I'm not going to. 'Cause in case it's not. But you can get away with a few things. 50 00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:34,710 So just for a quick size comparison, this is a small one, this is the 2XL. 51 00:03:34,710 --> 00:03:40,290 And they should have-- Yeah, so the small guys are 300 by 350 millimeters 52 00:03:40,290 --> 00:03:46,150 or 30 by 35 centimeters. And then the big guy, though is 370 by 450 53 00:03:46,150 --> 00:03:51,367 or 37 by 45 centimeters, which is pretty big. This is, even the small one-- 54 00:03:52,284 --> 00:03:58,480 That's big enough to be a mousepad. I really hate when you get those super tiny ones 55 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,080 that are like this size that barely cover anything and you gotta keep your DTI super high. 56 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,460 So you can do just wrist movements and stuff. God, I hate even moving around in this 57 00:04:06,460 --> 00:04:09,003 'cause you're gonna hear it. So now the question is, 58 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,050 these are like what, 30, 40 bucks for a mousepad? 59 00:04:13,050 --> 00:04:18,870 How much do we charge for the desk pads? Yeah, we charge 30 US dollars for the desk pads every size, 60 00:04:18,870 --> 00:04:23,950 which is crazy. But Linus likes giving away super huge mouse pads 61 00:04:23,950 --> 00:04:27,136 at 30 dollars. This is a 100 bucks for the big one. 62 00:04:27,136 --> 00:04:31,584 - [Man] And also you have to buy the feet. - You have to buy the feet too? 63 00:04:31,584 --> 00:04:34,600 - [Man] I think it's separate now. - Oh, for the mouse? Yeah, yeah. 64 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,810 So you've gotta spend 30 bucks just for the mousepad 65 00:04:38,810 --> 00:04:43,630 and then if you really want it to be as good as it's supposed to be, 66 00:04:43,630 --> 00:04:47,533 you've then gotta pay 20 or 30 bucks. - [Man] Nah, it's $8.50-- 67 00:04:47,533 --> 00:04:52,200 - 8.50. - [Man] For a set of two. - You gotta pay an extra 8.50 for a set of two feet. 68 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,273 - [Man] I think your feet will ware out fast on glass? 69 00:04:56,408 --> 00:05:00,480 - You think so? I'm honestly not sure. If you're interested in that and you wanna see 70 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,920 how quickly mouse feet actually degrade, 71 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,260 then get subscribed to LTT and check out our upcoming Labs content 72 00:05:08,285 --> 00:05:13,340 because we're gonna have a lot of testing on stuff like that. Stuff that takes hours and hours and hours and hours 73 00:05:13,340 --> 00:05:17,255 to actually test properly. - [Man] And people vastly smarter than us. 74 00:05:17,255 --> 00:05:22,110 - Yeah, and people vastly smarter than us operating all of those tasks to make sure it's all above board. 75 00:05:22,110 --> 00:05:26,230 Yeah, I don't know, it feels okay. I still think I prefer cloth. 76 00:05:26,230 --> 00:05:30,500 Like if I had to choose right now, I would take the cloth mat over-- 77 00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:35,110 - [Man] Can you push the mouse and just see like what's the-- 78 00:05:35,110 --> 00:05:39,580 - Like it slides. But it slides on the cloth too. 79 00:05:39,580 --> 00:05:43,330 Like pretty good, honestly. And I mean, it's not super scientific, 80 00:05:43,330 --> 00:05:46,900 I'm just pushing this thing along, but-- - [Riley] I think you're a scientist. 81 00:05:46,900 --> 00:05:51,230 - Hi Riley. - [Riley] That's science. - That's science, right? I moved the thing and then I'm like, yeah, 82 00:05:51,230 --> 00:05:55,699 I think that's faster. That's how science works. - [Riley] Yeah, I think you're doing 83 00:05:55,699 --> 00:06:00,030 a randomized control trial right now. (laughing) - Do you like how this sounds? 84 00:06:00,030 --> 00:06:04,340 - [Riley] Not at all. - You don't like that? - [Riley] I can hear it from over here. 85 00:06:04,340 --> 00:06:08,350 This is a problem. - What about this? - [Riley] That's nice. 86 00:06:08,350 --> 00:06:12,350 Ittstore.com. - That being said, if noise isn't a factor, you know, 87 00:06:12,350 --> 00:06:16,043 this might be for you. And if you've got the really cool Teflon feet that they sell, 88 00:06:16,043 --> 00:06:19,930 maybe it's actually not even this loud at all. Maybe there's a bunch of dust on here. 89 00:06:19,930 --> 00:06:24,310 I don't think so 'cause I just wiped it all off. And it still sounds about the same. 90 00:06:24,310 --> 00:06:28,330 Yeah, it's like two bananas, almost. 91 00:06:28,330 --> 00:06:32,790 Like 1.8 bananas or so, so it's pretty long. It comes in a bunch of different colors. 92 00:06:32,790 --> 00:06:37,920 They sent us a few boxes but I don't know how many colors they actually sent us. 93 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:43,530 I'm a color guy. I'm not into like minimalism and black and white aesthetics for everything. 94 00:06:43,530 --> 00:06:48,300 Oh, they're labeled! Okay, so this is white. We've already seen the white one. 95 00:06:48,300 --> 00:06:51,490 This is red. I'm not really into red, 96 00:06:51,490 --> 00:06:53,723 but you know what, that's a really nice red though. 97 00:06:55,450 --> 00:06:58,730 Yeah, it's a little orangy. Oh, the green looks good. 98 00:06:58,730 --> 00:07:03,530 They're all just really primary. This is kind of a dark green, not super dark. 99 00:07:03,530 --> 00:07:07,790 But yeah, it's like they're beautiful. I do really appreciate the colorful aesthetic 100 00:07:07,790 --> 00:07:11,660 on the colored ones. My problem is I don't know if I wanna spend 101 00:07:11,660 --> 00:07:15,350 a 100 dollars on this, 'cause if I do, if I'm looking to spend that much money 102 00:07:15,350 --> 00:07:21,680 do I go for something really artisanal and I get like a 100 plus dollar Japanese cloth gaming pad? 103 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:26,080 I don't use those personally, it's too much money. But I've got friends who play Esports professionally 104 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,700 or used to at least. And they kind of swear by those. 105 00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:33,670 So I don't even know if they would like these. So it's a 100 bucks for the large one 106 00:07:33,670 --> 00:07:38,420 and then the small one is a little cheaper probably. And then they've got their 3.0-- 107 00:07:38,420 --> 00:07:41,530 These are all 2.0. They've got their 3.0 up for pre-order right now as well. 108 00:07:41,530 --> 00:07:45,760 Cool. We know that it doesn't feel super great 109 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,670 and we know it doesn't sound super great, but does it game super great? 110 00:07:49,670 --> 00:07:53,040 We'll find out after our word from our sponsor Manscaped. 111 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,130 Their Performance Package 4.0 kit is designed to contain everything you need 112 00:07:57,130 --> 00:08:01,560 to make grooming below the waist easy. It includes the updated lawnmower 4.0 113 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:06,260 with its wireless charging, Wheatwacker nose trimmer for the tricky areas plus some other goodies 114 00:08:06,260 --> 00:08:10,290 like the Crop Preserver and Crop Reviver sprays for deodorizing and toning. 115 00:08:10,290 --> 00:08:15,020 Get 20% off plus free international shipping using the link in the description below. 116 00:08:15,020 --> 00:08:18,540 I'd love to get some actual data for you and run it through the tracking machine system 117 00:08:18,540 --> 00:08:24,680 that we used for the desk pads, but John is not gonna give me any time to do that, so-- 118 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:29,650 Bug Linus and maybe we'll do it in the future. Yeah, do you need to spend a 100 dollars on a mousepad? 119 00:08:30,750 --> 00:08:33,413 Well, I kinda did but it's a big mousepad. 120 00:08:34,472 --> 00:08:38,820 That one's like 50. Yeah that one was like 50 with shipping. 121 00:08:38,820 --> 00:08:42,790 Just to make this kinda fair we're gonna have new warmup on the LTT desk pad. 122 00:08:42,790 --> 00:08:48,909 I'm gonna do a test on the glass sky pad and then I'm gonna go back and do a third final test 123 00:08:48,909 --> 00:08:55,680 on the LTT desk pad. And we'll see what I like the most. I haven't done an aim lab in Counterstrike in like forever. 124 00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:57,573 I don't know how this one works. 125 00:08:59,220 --> 00:09:04,220 To be fair, this is a mouse that I never use, 126 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,003 probably great for Shroud. Not great for me. 127 00:09:09,805 --> 00:09:13,280 - [Man] Excuses. - Yeah, it's pretty much excuses, 100%. Took me like five shots. 128 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,623 Hey, that guy hit twice, that's not bad. I'm getting there 129 00:09:16,623 --> 00:09:21,060 and that's why this is the warmup. 'Cause I haven't played Counterstrike in forever. 130 00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:24,550 Cool. Counter terrace win. I've got like three head shots. 131 00:09:24,550 --> 00:09:28,670 Okay. Let's see how precise it is. 132 00:09:28,670 --> 00:09:31,873 And like I said, we can't-- It looks good. 133 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,820 It feels like it's pretty bang on. But I don't feel like the LTT desk pad wasn't bang on, 134 00:09:38,820 --> 00:09:42,380 you know what I mean? And it does feel a little lighter. 135 00:09:42,380 --> 00:09:45,450 It actually does feel a little easier to slide. 136 00:09:45,450 --> 00:09:49,340 Sorry, I was kinda busy toying with the keyboard and trying to shoot these guys in the head. 137 00:09:49,340 --> 00:09:53,370 Totally hit that guy in the face. Now that I'm not doing big circles, 138 00:09:53,370 --> 00:09:56,380 like it's pretty quiet. When I'm just doing these small movements. 139 00:09:56,380 --> 00:10:00,037 Do you guys hear it? Like you heard it before? I don't think so. 140 00:10:00,037 --> 00:10:03,248 - [Man] I'm hearing the fan. - Yeah, the laptop fan doesn't help. Don't get me wrong. 141 00:10:04,598 --> 00:10:09,110 Yeah, that's still quieter. It's not bad though. Like, I could deal with this. 142 00:10:09,110 --> 00:10:13,050 Yeah, it's not enough to really take you out of the game. And especially, 143 00:10:13,050 --> 00:10:17,303 because you're probably gonna be wearing headphones or have like speakers blasting game audio. 144 00:10:19,502 --> 00:10:24,793 I don't remember the patterns anymore. I used to have the M4A1 pattern kinda memorized. 145 00:10:25,733 --> 00:10:29,470 Yeah, I don't know. It's not that I dislike the glass. 146 00:10:29,470 --> 00:10:35,050 I think it's perfectly fine. It's just that I kinda like the desk pad a little better. 147 00:10:35,050 --> 00:10:38,130 It's a little quieter. It feels just about as smooth. 148 00:10:38,130 --> 00:10:44,470 And I do feel like we're doing it a bit of injustice by not giving the feet a replacement. 149 00:10:44,470 --> 00:10:48,286 But that's-- - [Man] It's consistent. - It's consistent, yeah. 150 00:10:48,286 --> 00:10:53,010 I don't know if it was the razor one, it was basically a copycat of the razor. 151 00:10:53,010 --> 00:10:56,270 That was just like a metal and plastic mousepad 152 00:10:56,270 --> 00:11:00,060 and it was okay. It was perfectly fine. But I had the same problems that I'm getting with this 153 00:11:00,060 --> 00:11:03,570 in that whenever you do bigger sweeping motions, 154 00:11:03,570 --> 00:11:09,740 frankly it's just kinda loud. And if you're gaming and you're trying to be quiet!, 155 00:11:09,740 --> 00:11:13,310 you know, you're off in the corner of a living room or something and your family 156 00:11:13,310 --> 00:11:16,690 or whoever is watching TV next to you, they're gonna be-- 157 00:11:16,690 --> 00:11:22,080 You know, they're already kinda mad about all the clicking and stuff going on. They don't want to hear this as well. 158 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,250 That being said, it's okay. I think with their cool Teflon feet 159 00:11:26,250 --> 00:11:30,430 that they're offering for like eight bucks, if you're already spending a 100 dollars on this, 160 00:11:30,430 --> 00:11:33,980 you might as well go for the extra and get the eight dollar Teflon feet. 161 00:11:33,980 --> 00:11:38,760 That might fix things a little bit. But yeah, that's just gonna help with like 162 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:43,060 how it sounds with moving and stuff. We can't tell if this is perfectly accurate 163 00:11:43,060 --> 00:11:46,350 when it comes to tracking. It feels about as accurate as ours. 164 00:11:46,350 --> 00:11:50,320 But this is pretty accurate. It's not as accurate as the Fanatic mousepad 165 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,310 is what we kind of base as our gold standard. But it's pretty close. 166 00:11:54,310 --> 00:11:57,370 As for this, like I said, we can't tell without a lot more testing. 167 00:11:57,370 --> 00:12:00,370 But just feeling like it felt pretty accurate to me. 168 00:12:00,370 --> 00:12:04,190 But my problem is twofold. One, I'm not crazy about the logo. 169 00:12:04,190 --> 00:12:09,020 It's not even a bad logo. I just, I tend to-- Just design. 170 00:12:09,020 --> 00:12:15,060 I love how this is just blue. Give me a logoless version that has like more blue 171 00:12:15,060 --> 00:12:18,200 and I'll be even more happy. But my other really big problem, 172 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:23,290 it comes down to the feel and the sound. It sounds like there's kinda something scraping. 173 00:12:23,290 --> 00:12:26,370 Even though we wiped down both the mouse feet 174 00:12:26,370 --> 00:12:30,380 and the desk pad multiple times. And it also kind of feels like it too. 175 00:12:30,380 --> 00:12:34,613 Whereas where if there's stuff on a desk pad, you don't really feel it unless it's like a piece 176 00:12:34,613 --> 00:12:38,100 of fabric snagging on feet that are so worn away that you should probably replace them 177 00:12:38,100 --> 00:12:42,230 at that point anyway. - [Man] Or Doritos. - Or yeah, maybe you eat a lot of Doritos 178 00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:46,040 and it gets covered real quick. But you know, on that case, you should spend more money 179 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,240 on Doritos and less money on professional gaming peripherals. 180 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,332 Would I buy it? Probably not. 181 00:12:53,332 --> 00:12:58,790 If you're going for a very specific aesthetic, you like the logo, you like the way it feels, 182 00:12:58,790 --> 00:13:05,620 this is probably the one for you. I mean, I don't think you're going to get another hard surface gaming mousepad 183 00:13:05,620 --> 00:13:10,410 that is this accurate, supposedly. But, you can find a cloth one for much cheaper, right. 184 00:13:10,410 --> 00:13:14,440 Like LTT, 30 bucks. Not even LTT. Get somewhere else. 185 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,870 You know, I'm not trying to be biased. Get any other desk pad for like 30 to 50 dollars 186 00:13:18,870 --> 00:13:22,690 in a much larger size, you know. You can cover your whole desk. I don't hate this thing. 187 00:13:22,690 --> 00:13:27,010 I think it's okay. I just probably wouldn't go out and buy it myself. 188 00:13:27,010 --> 00:13:31,380 John has just checked for me, Fanatic is selling their mousepad for like 55 dollars. 189 00:13:32,644 --> 00:13:36,610 How big was that one? So that's the Dash mousepad and that's 950 by 500. 190 00:13:36,610 --> 00:13:40,210 So like, that's way bigger than this thing 191 00:13:40,210 --> 00:13:45,620 and you're paying about half the price. I think, you know, unless you're looking for a hard surface, 192 00:13:45,620 --> 00:13:49,430 you can find something else. - [Man] Skip it! - Yeah. 193 00:13:49,430 --> 00:13:53,929 I hate saying skip it. I feel like someone always wants something. 194 00:13:53,929 --> 00:13:58,360 I like finding the silver lining in stuff and it's a little difficult for me to find the silver lining 195 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,210 in this one, I think. - [Man] It's easy to clean! - Yeah, it's easy to clean, you got that right. 196 00:14:02,210 --> 00:14:07,730 It's easy to clean, you know. If you're in a spill proof kind of desk environment you wanna create 197 00:14:07,730 --> 00:14:12,060 then get this. It's never gonna wreck-- You know, maybe just don't drop it on the floor, 198 00:14:12,060 --> 00:14:15,900 you're probably okay. If you like this SE, check out the one where Linus unboxed 199 00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:19,270 all of the LTT desk pads and then you can kind of see the other sizes 200 00:14:19,270 --> 00:14:23,020 and quality and material that we're offering here. 201 00:14:23,020 --> 00:14:27,537 And then you can make a more informed decision. - [Man] We didn't cheat vote, we did a lot of testing. 202 00:14:27,537 --> 00:14:30,990 - Yeah, we didn't cheat vote. We did a ton of testing. Thanks for watching.
