Control pads vs speed pads: Control pads stop harder, speed pads feel faster

Control pads use softer, textured cloth for aggressive stopping power—great for low-sensitivity aiming in shooters. Speed pads have harder, smoother surfaces for frictionless gliding—ideal for high-sensitivity tracking in Battle Royale or MOBAs. The trade-off: control can feel sticky on sweeps, speed makes reeling in overshoots tough. Try both to see which suits your hand pressure.
