Hello everyone I started playing CS:GO about 8 months ago. In this period I have had consistent problems with "friction" on the mousepads. I have tried a number of mousepads (Zowie GTF-X, Razer Goliathus, QcK Heavy and more) along with two mice (EC2-A and Logitech G403 wired). Whatever combination I use the same problem occurs. Initially, the movement feels great and swift. After about one day of use, sometimes just a few hours, however, the part of the mousepad that I have used gets "gluey". It gets really hard to spray in particular, but all movements feel weird. This "glueyness" becomes worse the more I use that particular area of the mousepad. Now, I have thought of a million explanations for this. I do not sweat, so that is not the issue. I have tried washing the affected area; very gently without soap, gently with soap, were harsh with soap etc. I have considered if it could be dust, but my room is completely clean. I have changed mouse-feet several times. Hell, I even bought a new EC2-A, after which the same problem occured. I beg you, please help me solve this issue!

High Sens player here. The main difference between high sens and low sens aiming are body mechanics. There are many Low Sens aimers that don't believe in high sens accuracy due them not taking into account the physical aspect of aiming and how it changes when going from Low to High. At lower sens, the two articulation points are the arm for big movements and wrist for small adjustments. Whereas with high sens, its big movements with wrist and fine tuning with fingertips. You'll notice that many lower sens players don't use their finger tips because, as it is apparent, there is not a whole lot of need for it. So when trying to adjust to High Sens and failing to adjust to using fingertips and/or changing their grip to allow for fingertip movement will not yield the best accuracy results. This is why I believe Low-Sens-Only players don't believe in High Sens.

Honestly, I don't see a lot of talk about this, but I think the factor looking for is mousepad thickness. The thicker the mousepad, the more likely when you can press the mouse into the mousepad, making it feel a little harder to move. You'll notice this happens more often with spraying or track aiming. You're pressing down on left click (or left click AND right click in the case you're playing a game that has ADS) and there for you press the mouse into the pad. There probably isn't a whole lot of talk about this cause I feel like its more noticeable with High Sens and there aren't a whole lot of professional competitive gamers that use high sens. I have a range of about 4 to 6 inch 360 @ 103 FOV. The mousepads that you have listed are 4mm to 5mm in thickness. On Amazon, the Steel Series Classic QCK small/medium/large is 2mm (my old go-to mousepad). Same with the "Amazon Basics" mousepad which seems to be a rebranded QCK 2mm lol. Give that a shot. The mousepad I landed on was the "Reflex Lab Pro 9" which is 3mm but it seems denser and feels like a QCK 2mm imo. Be warned tho, the Pro 9 is small. I'm a high sens aimer, so I don't need a lot of room. The other option is to change habits; try not to press hard on the mouse when tracking.

Pretty much the same as the previous Hitman, but here it is!
