Steelpad 5L

by Deuger • 22 Mar 2010, 00:51 • Forums › Technology
cause i'm not satisfied with the pads I have atm I have been thinking of buying Steelpad 5L (or maybe PureTrak Talent)

5L:
- does it wear out fast? (important!)
- a lot / a little friction?
- easy to clean?

what about Puretrak Talent?

5l
-yes extremely
-feels like plastic with way bigger static friction, also it has some "rubber"(hard to explain) feeling, especially when wet
-throw away in the trashbin after it gets dirty or used(2-3 months of extensive usage is max)

puretrak
-no, mine is as almost as new after almost half a year
-smallest comparing to other cloth pads
- yes, washing machine method is advised on their official forums

I experienced skipping with my IME3 on my puretrak. However this is probably due to the cable switch. WMO (same sensor, stock cord) works a charm though.

hmm, interesting.. will defo take puretrak because of such a positive feedback everywhere. But are you sure there was only a cable problem? I really have some weird skips and i don't know what is causing it. Mouse or a pad.. Mfeet seems to be ok, same goes for pad, almost new even after 3y of using (ok borders are a bit fucked but that doesn't matter at all). I'm really kinda used to IME3.0 but on the other hand WMO isn't expensive so i will maybe give it a try.

Same sensor, so it's fine.

I replaced the cable in my IME3, because i do erotic mouse movements so it broke and i couldn't be bothered buying a new one, plus i had a WMO just sitting in a draw, so thought i'd give a try. Its lighter and smaller which i like, wish the kinzu was a bit better in that respect!

I had a nightmare (":D") the other night where i had hole in my puretrak :<. As for washing techniques, remember that the offical way that they recommend to wash it is in the washing machine, i hope to hear of you for your feedback when it arrives!

What the fuck did you do with ur 5L if it wore out fast? I've been using mine for almost a year and this is as good as new.
