Well, it makes my wrist hurt a little because there’s no padding at all. This is rigid. Even though the base is rubber, it has a non-slip rubber bottom, but the rest is rigid. It’s like a board.Watch T TikTok TikTok post

You’ll appreciate this mouse pad for better speed and quick reaction times. Conversely, it doesn’t offer you as much control or precision as on a cloth pad and when using a wireless gaming mouse . That’s due to the higher sensitivity and lower stopping power that hard gaming pads are known for.Read E

As with all hard mousepads, the G440 makes for loud mouse movements, but unlike glass mousemats, it won't wear away your mouse feet really quickly and isn't quite as loud as that surface type either.Read M r/MousepadReview u/Chingusx · owner
The difference is pretty severe, as the surface will be pretty muddy. Good thing is that the g440 is not too expensive and is always available.Read thread S

QPAD is a low quality glass pad, and the g440 uses a very similar weave, along with a cheap design just like the QCK. You can't say that the QCK performs nearly the same as a wallhack glass pad, it's just a blatant lie. The QCK isn't 'low resistance' it is considered a slow mudpad with a lot of resistance. 'Low resistance' would be the SP, not the QCK.Read thread S
Its smoother, doesnt hurt your mouse as much as hard surface will and it has better durability.Read
