X-Raypad Aqua Control 2 Sakura Gaming Mouse Pad, Ultra-High Precision Mouse Pad with Perfect Speed and Control Capability, Consistent X and Y Glide, Designed for Fps Players with Low DPI Requirements

Review: X-Raypad Aqua Control 2 Sakura Gaming Mouse PadThe X-Raypad Aqua Control 2 Sakura Gaming Mouse Pad pairs excellently with high-performance gaming mice, like my Logitech G502X equipped with glass skates. Here's my experience with this mouse mat.Positives:Fast and Smooth Glide: The mouse pad offers a consistent, fast glide that feels incredibly smooth, making it perfect for precision-intensive games and quick movements.Easy to Clean: Maintenance is straightforward, and regular cleaning restores its surface to its original condition without much effort.Negatives:Susceptible to Dirt: Unfortunately, the mouse pad does little to resist dirt. Sweaty hands during gaming sessions result in noticeable buildup over time, which affects performance. Dirtier areas create a drag on the glide, impacting the mat's otherwise smooth feel.Slippery Base: The rubber underside lacks sufficient grip, causing the mat to slide on the desk occasionally during use, especially during intense gaming sessions. This undermines the overall stability one might expect from a premium mouse pad.Conclusion:The X-Raypad Aqua Control 2 Sakura Mouse Pad delivers an excellent glide and easy maintenance, but it struggles with stability and dirt resistance. For casual users, these drawbacks might not be significant, but for competitive gamers, they could be a dealbreaker. It's a solid choice, but there’s room for improvement, but its nothing a quick clean can't fix in the short term.

After many weeks of trying to find a replacement for my old reliable I decided to go with the Aqua Control II. The reason being as I tend to prefer a less speedy pad and more of a hybrid.This, whilst being much faster than my old control focused Roccat Taito, was very easy to transition to. I have used a few mice, Pulsar X2, Orochi V2, XM1R to name a few and they all glide superbly over this pad.The one negative I have is despite having this for around a month now. I still cant get the side the keyboard is on to go flat. I have tried a few things. And whilst its slowly getting better, Some of you may find this annoying at first until it inevitably settles.The finish, whilst not super soft on the skin is good and so far I haven't noticed any irritation. The rubber on the bottom is nice and grippy and the stitching around the edges is very nice. I wasn't a fan of stitched edges before but this pad as 100% changed my mind on that.Overall a very good pad. Just wish it was around £25~£30 but it was definitely worth the full price!It also looks very nice in person!

it smells a bit like some trainers I had back in the 80s, it's not a strong smell, but I'm sure that'll fade. Otherwise, great quality. I'm not gaming on it, but the mouse movement seems nice on my apple mouse but maybe a smidge too much traction for fast-twitch gaming. I dunno - jiggling my mouse around a bit it seems nice. Might need to warm up the end with a hairdryer as it's still a little curly from being at the centre of the roll. Would love a version where some or all of the blossoms are coloured in.

The pad was huge it felt really spacious to play on, felt a bit rough to the wrist at the start but very quick to get used to. My pad didn’t sit flat even after months of use the corners would curl up so not as good in that part for me but it overall offered a good amount of control and was made out of quality materials.

Great control pad.Material can be slightly uncomfortable, but shouldn’t bother you if you have a sleeve.

My son picked this a as he had bought this in the past very good qualityWould definitely recommend for a gamer

Nothing to dislike besides the corners taking a while to flatten. It's consistent, sweat resistant and all round a fantastic, reasonably price pad. It's a great alternative to the fluff from Razer and Logitech.Using with lightweight mice with glass feet, honestly nothing better.

Lovely looking Mat, very good quality. My son treasures it, he has had lots of mouse mats. This is by far the best
