What's Improved!
The Odyssey offers several advantages to help take your aim to the next level!
- Refined Speed: We've shifted the balance towards a more fluid, responsive glide. Odyssey is faster and more agile than its predecessor, allowing for effortless tracking.
- Engineered Micro-Texture: The surface is uncoated and precision micro-etched through a controlled chemical process, creating a fine texture that delivers tactile feedback and what we call "active control". That is, the amount of control you need is the amount you'll get back.
- Improved Comfort: A thinner 2mm profile and redesigned beveled edges significantly reduce wrist strain during long sessions.
- Improved Artwork Clarity: We've improved the tempering process to ensure our artwork remains sharp and vibrant through the glass, making your setup look as good as it performs.
The Complete Glass Experience
Glass pads are often misunderstood; Seen as too fast, too loud, or difficult to control. Odyssey challenges that. By carefully tuning the relationship between initial friction and dynamic friction, we've created a surface that feels fast when you need it, and controlled when it matters most.
Included for performance with each Odyssey is a pack of X-Raypad U9 Air skates. Specifically selected to complement the micro-etched surface for enhanced surface feedback, allowing you to better feel and respond to micro-adjustments in real time. Glass pads don't have to feel 'floaty'.
The result is a glide that rewards precision, consistency, and confidence.
Importance of Skates
With glass mousepads, the skates you use are just as crucial as the pad itself. The friction between skates and glass can lead to a "scratchy" experience. Additionally, traditional 100% PTFE skates, like stock skates, wear down quickly on glass and tend to be noisier. That’s why every unit of Odyssey comes with U9 air skates, which enhance glide, improve durability and significantly reduce noise.
If you want to customize your glide experience, you can easily swap out your mouse feet. Here are some top options:
- X-Raypad U9 Air (included):
A textured, controlled glide that emphasizes the tactile feedback of the glass. - X-Raypad Obsidian Air:
A silent, smooth, and well-balanced glide for consistent all-around performance. - X-Raypad Obsidian Jade Air: Silent and optimized for pure speed, providing an effortless glide with minimal static friction.
