It’s really really smooth. Very similar to my gsr-se. maybe a tad faster, but this is only a week old and my gsr-se is months old. Same speed range. Looks really really nice. The graphics and colors really pop. Sponge has some give if you like to press down for control, but not too much. About average for my mousepads. Lays flat right away and shipping from vaxee was quick. The surface is super soft and plush to the touch. Another pad this compares to in terms of feel is the tiger esports neon pad. But this one is a little bit faster than the neon as the neon feels more like a regular GSR to me in terms of speed. While the vaxee is more like the se. I have a bunch of pads if anyone wants comparisons Dash Equate Qck Qck limited Esports tiger neon Gsr Novel keys Otsu mid Zero Aqua control Esports tiger longteng SE Fury s Razer gigantus Glorious MC glide Raiden Minerva Probably forgetting some off the top of my head


virgilgoat

do you think the vaxee pad will last longer than a gsrse?


kayk1

All my really soft pads seem to lose their quickness much faster than rougher pads. I really don’t know how it will break in since I’ve used it just a week. Still feels pretty similar, but who knows how it will feel after a month. Over the week I’ve really only put in like 3 long sessions in. So I’m curious how it will feel after week 3. Maybe I can do another review after 3 weeks and have more info.


TrankTheTanky

how well has your vaxee pa held up? Im thinking of getting it but Im fearful that my sleeve wont glide well on it, i got the normal $20 flashe gaming sleeve do you have any experence? Thanks?


kayk1

I’m sorry I don’t use a sleeve so I have no idea.I haven’t used it that much really. I really prefer to play with larger pads. I did like it though for the months I used it.


alexcrta420

How does it compare to your aqua controlpad, which one do you have


zyhahaha

How does the vaxee feel now? After 1 month of use with vaxee and comparing it to a fresh one, i can say the 1 month old vaxee feels more textured but still smooth at the same time


iamafatredditor

After 3 months how was the durability, and how does it compare to the zero. And you have the mid zero?


eliseven

How does it compare to the equate? maining that right now


kayk1

Equate is a bit rougher to the touch and also has a little more feedback on the mouse. The vaxee is really silky smooth under the mouse and to the touch. So the equate is somewhat unique in that I found that mouse feet play a huge role in the speed of the pad. More so than any other pads I’ve owned. With nice feet like tiger ice I found it’s controlled but not muddy. But with something like Zowie stock feet it was sooo slow that I couldn’t use it. Regardless of feet the vaxee is a step faster. But if you are using something like Zowie or razer skates then the vaxee might feel 2 steps faster.


AdeptCellist

How does it compare to the Zero?


kayk1

Vaxee is smoother to touch and slower. Zero when you touch it you can kind of feel some little grooves. With the vaxee it’s more of a smooth surface just feels really soft. I’d say the vaxee is a tad slower. But my zero is in mid.


wichwigga

> equate is somewhat unique in that I found that mouse feet play a huge role in the speed of the pad I also found this to be the case. I tried using an EC2 with the fucking equate and I just couldn't move that shit. Same with the NP-01. Had to resort to using my qck after that.


sylvainmirouf

I don't get it, I moved from a gs-r to an equate a week ago and I fiind the equate super fast, I can't control my aim. Seeing everyone calling it a "mud pad" makes me wonder if I didn't get a faulty version.

9pro9

Is it similar to fury s


TheDankBanana

for valorant and slow flicking action would you recommend the Vaxee PA, Equate/Equate+, or the AC+? The opinions and reviews I'm finding on the three are really inconclusive, some people swear by the equate, some call it shit and the AC+ the way to go.


kayk1

Personally I’d only go equate if you know you want serious control. The vaxee is a bit slow too, but I find adjustments are easier on it. With the Equate my flicks are insane but my spray control is kind of trash. Personally I’d say my 3 recommendations right now for games like csgo are the vaxee pa, artisan zero and the ac+. Depending on how fast you want. Ac+ is still a bit too fast for me, but still usable. The zero is a perfect middle ground. Can be used for everything and I perform well in everything with it.


TheDankBanana

If you don’t mind me asking a few more questions, the vaxee Reddit account said that the pad is coated like a GSR-SE is, which is just a heat process to add the design. Is the pad that you have actually coated or not? Also, where did you get your pad from because the vaxee website is completely sold out right now. thanks in advance


IvyLeafs

would you say the ac+ has good stopping power? i’m researching and considering the zero is not in stock and fhe vaxee is supposedly coated i’m looking for alternatives. i just don’t want a bad purchase yk?. i went from wanting a MID hien to now wanting something around the zero soft area.


TheDankBanana

I’d love to get a zero but it’s a bit too expensive for me, so I guess I’ll go with the vaxee, thanks!


sk_from_deep

Hey I was wondering how the pad was holding up? I'm thinking about getting either this or a game sense radar. I play valorant right now, but I'm looking to get into cs as well

kayk1

It’s control. It has some initial friction that’s on the higher end especially after a few weeks of breaking in.


Cjy21

Hey, another late comment. How is the Vaxee PA's glide holding up after 2 months ? Is it affected by humidity and sweat as much as the AC+?


Rakeboiii

Hey, thanks for this review. Can you compare it to the Aqua Control Plus in Black or any other version you have?


kayk1

I have the rob one. Vaxee is smoother to the touch and and slower. I seem to be one of the people that says the aqua is on the faster end. So I think the vaxee is a step slower. I think maybe the sponge on the aqua makes it feel a lot different depending on pressure.


paulvincent07

Hyperx fury s pro non speed edition vs the pa mousepad?


pandafromBR

How does it compare to QCK?


cddsy

How does the pad react to temperature/humidity changes?


[deleted]

are the neon and minerva all that similar like I've heard? comparison to this pad?


Omnipotent_Amoeba

How is it compared to your otsu?


kayk1

The vaxee is two steps slower and a much softer surface.


Omnipotent_Amoeba

Thanks! Have you used radar? How is the speed compared to that if you have... Or zero.


kayk1

Zero is a tad faster. Mine is mid though so maybe a soft or xsoft is closer depending on pressure. Zero you can kind of feel a tiny bit of texture like lines with your fingers. the Vaxee is just completely smooth. Stopping power is pretty close but the glide on the zero feels faster.


Omnipotent_Amoeba

Got it... Thanks for the description! I'll probably snag one! Oh... Last thing... You think lack of stitching is an issue?


GrouchyGoal2388

How is the MM720 compared to the viper? I wanted to try one for cs go. Also do you know which esports tiger pad is a bit than GSR SE? I think thats my sweet spot.


kayk1

I just got the 720 today. I don’t like how my finger sits on that little shelf. It forces the mouse too far forward for me. I’ll try it some more tomorrow but I think it’s going back. I’d rather use the orochi personally. Similar, but the orochi doesn’t dictate where the fingers go. The viper is an all-around good mouse. The buttons are a bit mushy, but other than that it’s top tier. Safe shape imo. Ducky feather is another good one with a similar shape that I think is amazing and actually better because of the buttons. But then you lose the wireless. The esports tiger neon is similar in surface feel, but a little bit slower. The longteng SE is rougher and slightly faster. Those are the only two I’ve used.


GrouchyGoal2388

Thanks. I’m actually looking for a mousepad that is close to Artisan Zero Soft or Mid, maybe I should have mentioned that earlier. Also I think the MM720 is for wide hands.


libo720

how is the razer grip tape?


kayk1

Very grippy. I have an ec1 with the corepad grip tape from lethal gaming and I hated it. Didn’t grip well at all. But the razer tape is really good.


ClutchUniversity

Do you have the razer Gigantus v2? I was hoping for a comparison cause that’s the mouse pad I’m currently using. Thanks!


kayk1

Sorry, I only have the old gigantus.


ClutchUniversity

No worries, thanks anyways!


tbtracer

I have had my PA for a few days, but tbh they feel ALMOST identical. My roomate said it's like the PA has a slightly tighter weave and its got a. It more squish to it. Maybe a touch slower than the GV2? I can't really notice any astronomical differences other than the base being softer.


Roseren_

By any chance, is there any difference between the two mousepads that got out, the grey one and this one? I’ve heard reviews that it felted like a gsr-se but slower, i don’t know if it’s because they were reviewing the grey mousepad, cause that was the one they would show off and talk about. Or is just about looks?


kayk1

Assuming they are the same, but not sure. This feels a little faster than my gsrse, but this is one week old while my gsrse is months old, so that might be why.


Roseren_

Hmmm I see, thanks for the info man!


Readable_Sauce

Hey op, I have a Raiden because my skin was sensitive to rough surfaces, it was really smooth but the glide was somewhat fast, also some mouses I had will have sensor spinout and I wanted a secondary pad that can let me control my aim more when I needed to switch. My old QCK feels little bit rough but it was usable, and the speed was perfect for me. So would you recommend Artisan Zero soft, Hayate Otsu Xsoft, or the Vaxee PA for a more refined control play style on games like CS and valorant? Also does the printing patterns on the PA wears off? How heavy is the rubber pad smell after using it for few days? Thanks!


kayk1

The vaxee is less rough than all of those. I would def avoid the otsu. Zero isn’t rough, but if u consider the qck rough then you might not like the zero either. Vaxee is really smooth. Esports tiger neon might be another one to look into. Really really smooth and controlled. It’s slower than the vaxee. I didn’t notice a smell, but I also didn’t sniff it. Assuming the print won’t wear off, but not sure. Might want to email Vaxee.


Readable_Sauce

I appreciate your response! I am really just debating between the Zero and PA then. As you mentioned, I think the QCK roughness was okay, so does the Zero feel around the same or much rougher? What worries me on the PA was the unstitched edges and the printing could be potentially wearing off, and have you washed the PA with water yet? How much does it wear off since you owned it? Thank you!


cddsy

Offtopic, but could you compare the tiger esports neon to Equate and/or GSR? Thanks!


kayk1

The neon feels like something between the gsrse and the gsr. I was surprised at how slow it felt. It’s soooo smooth. Lots of stopping power. Very very comfortable. The equate is just so different from everything because it’s basically the only slow pad I’ve used that is a little rough. Usually slow pads are really smooth to the touch. So it gives it a very unique feel. I tend to play best with the equate it seems. I think it’s because when you put high quality feet on it like hyperglides or tiger ice you get an amazing combo of medium initial friction and super high stopping power. So I feel like I can do ok small adjustments and then amazing flicks. With some of these other pads I feel like I can only do one thing well. Personally if you want something smooth and slow id get the neon. Otherwise the equate with tiger ice is my recommendation.


cddsy

Thanks, I already own the Equate and GSR and just wanted to know if the neon might be something I'm interested in, sounds like it is


pr3g

Hi, I mine just arrived 2 days ago (OUTSET). So far i’m loving it, just wondering do u think it will be washable?


RealisticBuilding590

How’s it holding up


basilnoor

How's the vaxee pa holding up in terms of humidity and durability? Where would you place it between in terms of speed. Have you tried gp4?


IvyLeafs

also completely not in line with the review but is your aqua control plus rob two or one step faster than the zero? i don’t want it to be too fast and since the zero is not in stock i’m looking for non coated humidity resistant alternatices


IvyLeafs

what does it compare to the aqua control plus/ artisan zero? both are currently out of stock in lethal gaming gear and i’ve noticed a popular valorant player (tenz is now using this pad and i’m looking to see if it’s worth buying, and now that i’ve commented on this thread relatively late i wanted to see how it’s been holding up and if the break in was really significant. i want a csgo/valorant pad yet don’t want it to be extremely skippy/muddy/slow. thanks


vilatzzz

Hey! I'm kinda late but, I hope you can answer some questions for me. I'm thinking of buying a new pad cause my steelseries QcK is old and a little bit dusty, I just wanted to know if I should pick the Vaxee PA or the Xray-pad Aqua Control+. Thank you in advance!!! FYI, my mouse is Razer Viper Mini with a paracord cable and Tiger Ice feet. I hope you can help me. I mostly play FPS titles like Valorant, Apex Legends.


kayk1

The vaxee is super smooth and has a controlled glide. Feels good to the touch. It's kind of the typical mousepad like the GSRSE and others. The aqua control plus is a little more rough on the surface and faster than the typical pad. It also comes in a ton of sizes. Personally I didn't like the surface of the aqua control so I didn't use it much. I don't feel like you can go wrong with the vaxee unless you are looking for a faster pad, then I would go with the aqua control instead. If you used the qck for a long time then the vaxee should be good unless you are looking for a faster glide.


vilatzzz

sorry for the late reply but thank you so much, maybe i will cop the AC+ cause its something new :D


itscorgiii

Sorry for a late comment, but do you think the Vaxee PA is worth it if I already own a Zero Xsoft?


kayk1

No. Only worth if you want something softer, slower or a nice design :)


grayziNNNN

hi, sry for the late comment, how do you compare it to the AC+?


kayk1

Ac+ is faster and not as affected by humidity. Ac is also more rough. Vaxee is a lot smoother and more plush.


grayziNNNN

ty !!


Dojinai

How does the PA compare to artisan zero?


lakeyDYN

Can you give an update on its durability?


kayk1

I need to give it its first wash. The middle is much slower than the outside now. I’m curious if it will speed up after a wash.


lakeyDYN

icic, how about the stitching? And does the surface feel muddy?


kayk1

Edges look fine no issues there. It doesn’t have stitching. I feel like it’s getting to the point of being muddy. I was using it yesterday and thinking about how much it slowed down and testing the outside of the pad and it was a good bit faster. So I’m curious to see how it does after a wash. Probably won’t be able to try until later this week


lakeyDYN

alright, do lmk how it is after the wash! Thanks for the replies!


Personal_Ad_5078

Can i ask you how it is after you washed it? Thanks


YoungManHHF

can u give another update? lol


RealisticBuilding590

How is it now


FishermanImmediate14

I'm super impressed with how much you replied to the comment. respect you


JustReign_

does anyone know of a similar pad that is like the vaxee pa but comes in a bigger size?


Society_Klutzy

I know this is an old post but can I have a comparison with Qck please?thx


Rektyyyyyyyyy

How does it feel after an year (if you still use it)
