X-Raypad Gaming Mouse Skates Guide: Find Your Fit
Our skates are built for different playstyles. First, figure out what’s most important for your game.
Pick Your Playstyle
1. Speed & Smoothness
You Need This If: You play fast-paced FPS games (like Apex Legends, Quake) and rely on quick flicks and wide tracking. You probably use a speed-oriented hard pad or hybrid pad.
The Go-To: Jade Lineup
- Basic (Pure Speed): Jade Skates
Pure PTFE.The fastest, smoothest glide we make. Lowest friction for quickest initial movement.
- Quiet-Level (Speed + Quiet): Jade AIR Series
PTFE + PU Foam.Same great speed but significantly quieter. The foam adds a bit of cushion for a more stable glide.
- Master-Level (Consistency): Jade ULTRA Series
PTFE + PU Foam + Anti-Sink Core.Built for pros. Won’t compress or change feel during intense gameplay, guaranteeing a consistent glide every time.
2. Control & Stability
You Need This If: You prioritize precision and stopping power (think CS:GO snipers, Valorant). You likely use a control-focused cloth pad or soft pad.
The Go-To: Obsidian Lineup
- Basic (Precise Stops): Obsidian Series
Hardened PTFE.Provides a solid, consistent feel on soft pads. Gives you clear feedback for controlled, crisp stops and pinpoint accuracy.
- Quiet-Level (Control + Quiet): Obsidian AIR Series
Hardened PTFE + PU Foam.All the control you need, but quieter. The foam softens the feel and improves control.
- Master-Level (Total Stability): Obsidian ULTRA Series
Hardened PTFE + PU Foam + Anti-Sink Core.The ultimate control skate. Stays perfectly consistent no matter how hard you press, ideal for high-stakes competition.
3. Durability & Longevity
You Need This If: You game for hours every day and don’t want to change skates often. You hate the feeling of worn-down skates.
The Go-To: PRO / U9 Lineup
- Basic (Durable Control): Obsidian PRO Series
500M MW UHMW-PE.300% more durable than standard PTFE. Offers better control than basic Obsidian skates—a perfect balance.
- Quiet-Level (Durable + Silence): Obsidian PRO AIR / U9 AIR Series
PRO AIR: 500M MW UHMW-PE + PU Foam
U9 AIR: 920M MW UHMW-PE + PU Foam
Super durable and quiet. U9 AIR uses a higher-grade material for the absolute maximum wear resistance, with the same great control as PRO AIR.
- Pro-Level (Endgame Durability): U9 ULTRA Series
920M MW UHMW-PE + PU Foam + Anti-Sink Core.The toughest skates we make. Combines extreme durability, quiet operation, and pro-level stability.
