I have a logitech g502 mouse and play with low sensitivity so i like there to be low friction so that i can easily slide my entire arm if necessary. I previously used svive styx rtp and before that a corsair something. I bought a new mousepad recently but it was way to rough and i could not slide my hand easily across it if i had sleved clothes on. Do you have any reccomendations.
Im stuck between Aqua control 2, aqua controll speed, equate v2 + and thor. But its hard to compare them with the give info.

If you want low friction but not rough surface, I will suggest THOR. If you use FPS game, I will suggest the AC2, Equate v2, but they feel rough by wrist or arms.
As you mentioned don’t want too rough. What’s your current new mousepad?

I play FPS games the most. The last 4 mousepads i had was unbranded ones, just random aliexpress mousepads. But i was happy with all of them, except the last one that is verry rough. I have owned a lot of mousepads but all of them were just generic/average mousepads, so i think theyre just average speed and friction. But i dont know how for example the AC2 compares to a generic mousepad.

Also the closest material i can compare my good mousepads with, is polyester. They feel pretty simmilar to a polyester shirt to the touch. Meanwhile the rough one allmost feel like a mix between polyester an paper or something.

If pursuing comfort in the wrist and arms, THOR can be considered, faster than average speed. If you want to try the hyrbid feeling surface but not too rough, you can consider Aqua control plus(fast) or Aqua control Zero(more control). Both are comfortable than AC2 and EQ+V2.  Hope I answer your question.

Thank you, so all of them are more comfortable than ac2?

Also. After trying out my bad mousepad again, its not uncomfortably rough to the feel. But the worst thing about it is that i can’t wear any clothes with sleeves, since the friction between cloth and the mousepad is much higher than between skin and the mousepad. So it works ok without sleeved clothes. Do you know anything about how these mats interact with clothes? Do they have more or less friction against other fabrics, compared to skin?

Sorry no test for mats interact with clothes or skin. And yes, the THOR, AQUA control zero, aqua control plus are comfortable than ac2.

You can consider Minerva DNA, not same, but It may be easier to adapt to than our other materials, it’s super smooth with excellent control. https://shop.x-raypad.com/shop/minerva-dna-6mm-heavy-gaming-mouse-pads/
