It depends on the glide feel you prefer.
PTFE Dot Skates provide the fastest and smoothest glide with minimal resistance.
PTFE Donut Skates offer a more balanced feel with smoother movement and added stability.
UHMW-PE Dot Skates are designed for players who want a smooth, consistent glide with improved durability, especially on glass and hard mousepads.

Yes. Mouse skates help protect the glass surface while providing a smoother and more consistent glide. PTFE and UHMW-PE are both suitable materials for glass mousepads. The best choice depends on your preferred glide feel, durability needs, and playstyle.

There is no fixed replacement schedule. Skate wear depends on playtime, mouse weight, movement pressure, surface cleanliness, and skate material.

Replace the skates if the glide becomes rough, scratching sounds appear, the skates become noticeably thin, or the mouse shell begins touching the pad.

We recommend PTFE or UHMW-PE skates for CLUSTRS glass mousepads.
Glass-on-glass and ceramic-on-glass combinations may create excessive noise, unpredictable wear, or surface stress. PTFE and UHMW-PE provide a smoother and safer experience.
