Superglide Glass Mouse Skates Review
Review:
I didn't think these would make a sizeable difference and just bought them for novelty's sake, but after using them for a bit, they work better than advertised. The smallest push of my Superlight sends the mouse a good few inches away, it's like these things are butter. They are almost too good, with the mouse being so light that every twitch of your hand will register compared to some static friction in the PTFE feet. If you have any amount of jitter in your hand I would steer clear, but if you want your mouse to be an extension of your body, you legitimately can't go wrong with this upgrade.
I put these on my GPX superlight using a hybrid pad. I feel like I might need to transition to a much slower pad using them though, which I don't currently have. In general use, I will move past an icon I'm trying to click because the initial friction and stopping power are sooooo much more minuscule than I expected. In gaming, tracking feels very good and natural. Flicks feel a little weird because I feel like the act of actually clicking the mouse causes me to move it a bit more than I intend to from the flick itself. That could just be me being heavy-handed (or heavy-fingered) as I click the mouse but beware of that if this is you also. This feels similar to how I keep missing clicks just navigating around the general windows environment, browser, DAW, etc. in a way I never have before. Could maybe get used it? Who knows.
I'm giving these a 4-star good review because you get what it says on the tin but I think it's a "maybe not for me" situation, but also, maybe just a little expensive for a few very small pieces of glass.
