EDIT: its huge and im@lowsense too!
dunno about the others, I'm using an alsop raindrop
The steelpad qck+ or qck-heavy are both nice pads.
I've tried the razer mantis speed, which is sort of the same as the steelpad qck, however I have not tried the mantis control. I know it has a surface that looks like a golfball or something, but never tried it.
A steelpad 5L is btw also a nice pad.
you wouldnt happen to know a good store?
oh btw im going through haarlem when i come from school...is that store near the central station?
Point is, wheter you like friction or not. I make lots of prediction errors, so pad without friction (as qck heavy, and steelpad SX), are not for me, since it would only make my aim worse, friction gives you opportunity to get rid of aim errors, but it makes your aim not fluid, as if you have used a smooth pad. Nobody can actually tell you which pad to buy, I can only recommend, Qpad CT, which is in the middle, qck if you like friction, and steelpad SX without friction.
Hope you`ll find it useful
The only bad point is,its a bit irratating on my wrist.
lowest sens ever
QcK (Heavy/+): By far the best real cloth surface. Too bad it only lasts for 1-2 weeks. After that it just becomes some random smooth cloth pad.
Titan (same as fnatic and DKT edition): Guess even after 2 years the surface will remain almost the same. It's not as smooth as the QcK and not as fast, but atleast it's consistent.
Razer Mantis Speed: It feels similar to the first few days of a QcK, I'm not sure if it wears out or not, just tested it at CDC.
Razer Mantis Control: Feels pretty rough, but still it's fast and pretty smooth. Not sure if it wears out.
Fatal1ty Pad: Smooth, pretty ok speed and it seems to be long lasting. Hard to get those in Europe though.
X-Ray Aqua 3: Didn't like it as it was way too thin, but the surface wasn't too bad. It's pretty cheap as well.
Qpad: Fast and smooth, no real cloth pad though. Will get my CT version of it this week still I hope, so I can check if it lasts longer than most of its contenders.
Selfmade Icemat (not sure if that laser crap tracks on it): Won't wear out, will always provide a smooth and fast surface without any resistance. Unfortunetely it will kill about one set of hyperglides (or any other teflon feet) within 1 month.
Wish there was a pad that provides the glide and height of a brand new Steelpad SX with Corepad Skates with the comfort aspect of the larger clothpads and the durability of an icemat :-(
Nice write-up.
As for the Fatal1ty Pad:

I'll be ordering this one soon. But I also saw this one:
http://shop.cyes.nl/corepad-eyepad-muismat-xl-p-254.html
Still have to make up my mind as to which one I will be ordering. But seeing that the Fatpad will last longer I lean more to that one.
If you have tested the Qpad CT for about two weeks give me a pm and tell me what you think of it. Most people didn't want to believe me but I noticed that the pad became slower after one week of usage. Afer that it became a pretty consistent pad, so I thought. After two weeks I noticed some "moodswings". It became faster, then slower then faster etc.
I saw that you have slicksurf feet. Are they any good? On pair with (or better than) hyperglide feet?
