For Jawgemo (6:15) the mouse pad is the AERO // FRAGMENT by 4114! hope this helps out for all the people wondering and boardzy!
Jinggg switched from Hayate Otsu Soft to Zero Soft during the tournament after like the knockouts started. You could see almost every player run a wooting besides something, f0rsaken and d4v4i. Also something's GPX has basically turned brown with how much he's used it lol

@m_1kser no he just changed mousepads, said it on stream before the upper bracket finals or semi finals. Just watching him aim with Zero compared to the Otsu, his aim looked as good as if not better on stream.
Would love to see something like this for the ALGS

It’s funny cause originally Prx was a team that had the most niche mice. I remember they were running the v1 Xlite wireless and DAVAI was on the Starlight for a long time too
prosettings release a roundup of pro mouse usage for csgo every year I think and by far the most used mouse is the GPX and I think the second most used is the deathadder v3 pro. The narrative amongst casuals may well be that heavier mice are better but that doesn't seem to be the trend amongst pros.

So a mouse being harder to move is better 😂 Sorry casuals have no clue what they are talking about. Weight can be preference but lightweight is still objectively better. Preferring heavy mice is like preferring a heavy racket in sports like tennis/squash/racketball

jawgemmo been changing his mice and mousepads a lott but he stuck with this one for this whole tournament. used to use starlight tenz most of time and saturn pro. if i am not mistake that mousepad is also a saturn nacho custom with a skull on it when i was looking at it. If you look at the whole tournament i think you'd find so many interesting mice there was so much variety this tournament. obv a lot of DAV3s and GPX's but a lot of vaxee xe's too, and sooo many different mousepads even different types of artisan mousepads. EDG kangkang and forgot which teammate were using orange zero with signature viper minis too

Steelseries Dex is one of my all time favorite pads together with zowie g-sr and spyre kamek. only reason I swapped off it forever ago was the small size and poor durability (odd given the material).

@Voltaire- I have a feeling the small variance in height in the 'craters' makes a positive, not negative impact on sensor performance as I've mained the dex and AMP500 over alot of other pads because of how good sensor performance seems to be on these surfaces

I'm kind of sad that those kind of pads didn't really catch on. I loved how those pads felt, although the stickiness of the bottom could use some work. lol I used to have the Roccat Hiro and it was basically impossible to clean at one point. It was a sad day when I had to replace that one.
That mouse pad jawgemo is using is a brand called 4114 owned by a fornite pro named Ceice. Mouse pad has been sold out for a long time now, so good luck trying to get one 😂
Think you made a little mistake for Ethan’s mouse cuz it’s hard to tell the mouse size by picture, he should be using a Steelseries Prime Mini wireless plugged in
would love to see this type of video for more esports in general
For the something and d4v41 comments, while i do understand why those peripherals would be considered “bad”, another thing to understand is how every single player has a different background with fps games and therefore have different interests. Like me for example, i dislike these cloth type pads cause i grew up with a pad that had a more plastic base, im a lot more comfortable using the skypad cause that’s what i’m used to, and i’m pretty sure its the same case for them as well. At the end of the day whatever you’re more comfortable with while playing is the most ideal.

I mean they are pros at the end of the day, theyre getting paid to play on a top level than normal players so they need to keep the consistency up there. Cant be switching mouse like the regular us and if we do bad, we tend to switch to another pad or mouse.
@agon1ze

@@whate1se while i do agree with the pro side, for the average player or even more experience player mindset is basically funneling through the same recommended products or what the pros or the top pro’s setup, without taking into account our own aiming styles and how well we use certain peripherals. not saying it’s bad to spend on some new gear, just saying think more and make sure the gear youre getting is helping you play more like YOU, not like anyone else
Conclusion- your settings don’t matter. You can get used to basically anything as long as it’s up to a certain standard and be as good as you ever were or will be
This was really interesting to watch, great commentary on it.

btw the mousepad jawg was using was a pad that was unreleased at the time, from 4114. Can't remember the name of the pad but saw that it was out now. If I am not mistaken, this company was started by Elevate and Ceice (fortnite pros)
good news, jinggg wasn't admitted into the military due to health reasons (we don't know if it's anything serious or not) so he's back to being a pro yay
I used only steelseries for a very long time and never once had any issues with thier mice. The rival is a very good mouse but they haven't come out with anything decent in the last several years.
Please do a round up for the Quakecon quake champions finals!!
steelseries prime wired has a 3389 sensor and the recent firmware updates made the mouse pretty good in terms of latency
I find the monitor position at 7:00 the most crazy about their peripherals :D

For some of the things you were missing, some of the Fnatic and DRX players use the DAV3 and like you stated many other teams used. I asked Jawg on his stream what mousepad he was using and he said its unreleased and couldnt say. Otherwise gj. Also, im sure someone in comments have stated you can just goto prosettings *not always updated* or just go to their twitch and they have their gear.

Love this, because it validates my bad financial decisions as someone with a gpx, gsrse and a Wooting on the way, who will probably never get a rank in val, or be competitive in any game.
nice stache son
Ethan's gameplay and using a wired mouse is a gigachad
Pretty sure jawgemos pad is a custom print vaxee
is prosetting not credible or something why not go there to see there peripherals? It seems they update pretty fast even for not so known players.
I like how he has a picture of trumps mugshot saved at the bottom at 7:09 💀💀
the reason lower weight mice is preferred by demon1 is cuz his sens is so low and in CS there isnt alot of fast flicks you need to do. but in valorant there is agents flying and abilities flying that you need to shoot. so you have to have fast flicks and movement. but they also want stability so you lower the sens alot but the mice weight is not too heavy letting you flick alot whenever you need to without being mega tired.
Boostio was using the Kurosun Ninja for the group stages before he switched
something uses the yuki aim mousepad from the brand yuki aim they post him on there twitter if im not mistaken
Boardzy can you make a clip about Steelseries Apex pro that updated rapid trigger and actuation point now can be 0.1 (From software updated few days ago). Compare to Wooting which one is faster?? 🎉
Please review the Gamesense radar 4mm and the upcoming GSR ll, I love you boardzy.
These guys change their stuff all the time. Like every 3-4 months they just switch it up. You can see all kind of setups. Like fast pad with low sens and low weight mouse. Then Slow pad with slow sens and relatively heavy mouse and so on. To be honest. If you want to play with ur arm, fast pad with low weight mouse is fine. I don't think there is an ultimate recipe here though. Just practice, practice, practice, practice. Play a lot of deathmatches, etc.
Can you do a review on the Endgame Gear OP1WE Gaming Mouse?
I think one of the reasons why people arent using newer razer mice is most likely the click timing. The 8k polling optical switches would always cause me to shoot early. Like you would have to flick, stop completely and start pulling back to center, THEN shoot. It feels very odd and I just didnt perform on it.

@boardzy I have a somewhat silly question. You keep mentioning your hand size in your videos, and that it's 21x11 cm. That's the same size as my hands. But your hands straight up looks tiny compared to mine. A great example is your 2 month old video about the EC-CW comparison, where you're gripping both the EC2 and EC3, but legit... When you grip the EC3, it looks bigger than when I grip the EC1. Could you upload a video of how you're measuring? Because something seems really off.
to my knowledge jingg uses hati s plus 4k pink for the longest time
the thing about Demon1 is you would see him play wireless first map and wired the other😅
Ty for this info. Solid Roundup
the yuki aim is not really a shitty mouse pad it is a new smaller brand tryna make a name you should look into them before just calling them trash they are actually passionate about the products they make def a L take
good style of video bud, keep up the good work
love this style of video man GG
I'd love to see this for Overwatch, I've been playing it for a long time and have never found a setup I'm perfectly comfortable with. I'm currently using a G903 with Endgame EM-C and plan on getting the new Artisan Zero and Vaxee Zygen NP-01S B. I'd love to hear your thoughts on what they use and what would be good for how tracking heavy the game is and since it's what I mostly do

something ironic about upper echelon players using and destroying people with basic peripherals meanwhile casual Ned is dumping his life's savings into every top tier mouse/mousepad that drops in hopes of gaining a fraction of that power
I find it funny that the top 2 teams only had 1 zero user when it seemed like at least 3 players on every other team where using the orange zero

Sir Boardzy, any plans on doing a roundup of the new spyre pads?
nice to see you talk about valorant, my favorite esport by far. Great video
JAWGEMO was using the 4114 Aero Fragment Mouse Pad
The wireless receiver from the ec3-cw looks like a tombstone.
steelseries prime wired is bad? yet ethan won on it in valorant, and karrigan from faze clan won a cs major with it. the click latency was the only bad thing about it really... it has been fixed. the rest of the mouse is solid and the older sensor still performs really well.
boardzy lowkey looks like demon1 tho
I wouldn't even say there is a "best" in regards to the Zowie mice. all the EC models are internally the same, the difference is grip which is entirely personal preference. I know alot of people who prefer the old EC2A's.
I love this video and hope you would do other games like overwatch then maybe I would be in your video

The lighter mice trend might be due to the game having a faster pace compared to CS. There's a lot more micro management you need to do and a heavy mouse on a low sense would be a workout.
