Wallhack CR-005 Review: A Control Glass Pad?
Boardzy reviews the Wallhack CR-005 glass mousepad, comparing it to the VA5 and other glass pads. He discusses its control feel, reliance on mouse feet, and dust issues, concluding that it's a viable control glass option, but doesn't behave like a cloth pad.
1. 🎮 Introduction to the Wallhack CR-005: Feel, speed, and control
- ✅ The CR-005 is a control glass mousepad from Wallhack, designed to offer more resistance than the VA5.
- ✅ It's easier to stop quickly with the CR-005, avoiding overshooting the target.
- ✅ The CR-005 has a higher dead zone compared to the VA5, reducing mouse wobble.
- ✅ Static friction is higher compared to other glass pads, but still relatively low.
- ✅ The control feel depends on the mouse feet used.

2. 🖱️ User experience and comparison with cloth pads
- ✅ The most enjoyable experience was with the Viper V3 Pro and stock feet, which offer some of the speed of glass.
- ✅ The surface is comfortable for the arm and doesn't require the use of a sleeve.
- ⚠️ The CR-005 isn't like a cloth pad, but still offers the ability to cover more ground with light pressure.
- ✅ The transition from cloth pads might be easier with the CR-005.

3. ⚖️ Speed, pressure, and comparison with other glass pads
- ✅ The CR-005 isn't a "muddy" pad and maintains some speed.
- ✅ Applying strong pressure, the pad offers impressive control.
- ✅ The CR-005 offers a valid glass experience, but isn't a cloth pad.
- ✅ The speed is more controllable compared to most glass options.
- ✅ The ability to stop without overshooting the target is a notable advantage.

4. 🧹 Dust and cleaning issues
- ⚠️ The CR-005 tends to accumulate dust and debris, potentially from PTFE shavings from the mouse feet.
- ✅ Cleaning with glass-specific products might speed up the surface.
- ✅ The pad offers a buffer zone that prevents a too open feel and low initial friction like the VA.

5. 🤔 Conclusions: A good middle ground?
- ✅ The VA might be more suitable for long-time glass pad users, offering lower friction.
- ✅ The CR-005 is a more controlled experience, regardless of the pressure applied.
- ✅ It's a good middle ground between cloth and glass in terms of speed.
- ✅ The price of $120 might not be a steal, but there are few control glass options available.
