Cloth vs. Glass: How ICE V2 Skates Perform on Different Surfaces

Unlock Your Ideal Glide – Control or Speed, You Choose

On Cloth Surfaces

Glide Feel: Smooth but with a bit more "grip" due to the fabric's texture. You get a balanced mix of speed and control without feeling too slippery.
Stopping Power: Excellent! The higher friction helps your mouse halt precisely when you stop moving your hand. Great for tactical games needing accurate tracking.
Noise and Comfort: Quieter operation (fewer scraping sounds) 
Durability: Skates wear down slower because the soft cloth is less abrasive.

On Hard Surfaces

Glide Feel: Super-fast and effortless! The low friction between PTFE and glass lets your mouse zip around with minimal effort, feeling almost "icy" or weightless.
Stopping Power: Not as strong as cloth—it might take some practice to master quick stops and turns. Better for speed demons who prioritize rapid movements over pinpoint control.
Noise and Comfort: Can be louder (a slight "whoosh" or scrape) and feel more rigid, which might tire your hand faster if you're not used to it. Humidity doesn't affect it much since glass doesn't absorb anything.
Durability: Skates wear out quicker, because the hard surface grinds them down more aggressively. (Clean regularly to avoid dust by adding drag.)
