Works best with sleeves, can be a bit noisy to use
I had recently got my eldest son a Wallhack SP-005 which he absolutely loves (he plays Valorent competitively). The SP-005 model is low friction just like this Atlas Pro and I did like trying it out before handing it over to him so I grabbed this one for myself (though I don’t game competitively, just casual FPS with more time spent on Minecraft with my youngest son).

The price point is higher, but I feel the presentation isn’t as cool as Wallhack’s one which has a very fancy carry case included (not that I would bring it around with me). Regardless, the quality of the pad itself is great, with a very nice surface that doesn’t really track fingerprints, glossy logo, and the reverse has nice anti slip texture that does keep it planted on the table.

I do like that this one is far thinner than the SP-005, like half the width, but it also is a tad smaller at 500x400mm vs 510x440mm.

Having used it for the past week, I do like it for the most part. My mouse does indeed glide extremely smoothly over it, using oem skates, no special ones. Now the thing with glass is that.. it’s glass. It picks up sweat and heat very quickly and I find my hands sticking to it, particularly in this very hot weather, which is where sleeves (my son and I have the Wallhack Gaming Pro Sleeves) come in handy and almost entirely eliminates any problems relating to stickiness/heat.

The one thing I don’t really like is the noise when using it – my mouse has very smooth oem skates and it just sounds like someone scratching on metal very lightly. It sounds like you are scratching the pad, but you actually aren’t. It’s fine if you game with headphones in, but if you’re just using it normally whilst doing work on your PC, it does get a bit irritating. I’ve attached a quick video demonstrating this.

At 129, it’s pretty good value for money – it does perform very well, just that noise can be annoying.
