I HONESTLY wanted to be a believer
I HONESTLY wanted to be a believer, but I do not really feel any performance gain, nothing drastic as some youtubers proclaim anyway which leads me to believe some might be sponsored?
If I can find any positive maybe I would say the mouse became more controllable but that would be by 15%-20% marginal improvements, which is quite negligible.. by controllable I meant in stopping. eg. the swing & stopping at the point you want the crosshair to on FPS games.
but the biggest reason why I would not give it any stars higher, is because for the pad/feets I applied, I am not entirely sure if its the adhesive being thinner on one, or the PADS itself are of unequal thickness..
So what happened was after getting the new core pads on - there's one on the top bottom of mouse and another at the lower part of mouse; for my mouse. For some reasons the lower feet seems to be that bit flatter/thinner, maybe 0.1mm -which sounds like nothing but my mouse just seems to sit or at least FEEL lower when its just resting flat now and when gaming. Might it be the issue of the mice itself? I very highly doubt it, because there wasn't this "height issue" on its original feets I had replaced, and I used at least 5 additional alcohol wipes of my own (normal clinic use wipes 75%) aside to the two provided by core pads (same content) so its wiped completely clean and nicely flat before applying...
So perhaps one pads is thinner than the other slightly.. which is... to say the least disappointing..? maybe not enough Quality Control (QC).
All in all, I am not saying its a bad product, maybe I just got a bad batch, but for my experience and at that price range of about EUR14 or USD20, I really had expected better.. WAY better. First is the quality issues, and 2nd I'd had expected a BIGGER difference from the stock mice feets it replaces.
TLDR: more meh than mindblown
