4 Things to Know About Glass vs. Ceramic Mousepads

Glass is faster Glass mousepads offer a near-frictionless, icy glide that is faster than any ceramic pad.

Glass is picky about sensors Some optical sensors, especially older ones, stutter or skip on glass. You also need good PTFE skates for best performance.

Ceramic is more compatible Ceramic pads have a smooth but slightly textured surface that works with almost any mouse sensor out of the box.

Most people won’t notice the difference In a blind test, most users couldn’t tell which pad is faster. Choose glass for pure speed, or ceramic for a fuss-free experience.
