Since a high-end mouse is only as good as the surface it glides over, a superior mousepad is as essential as the mouse itself, and though many mouse pads are great out-of-the-box, they quickly lose their quality over time That's why cleaning the pad will make it feel faster again but only temporarily.

Even though you might not realize it, the slightest body oil combined with dust and debris get transferred to the pad and then onto the skates of your mouse. The other reason is simply that the outside palm of your hand is always in contact with the surface of the pad. The result is a sticky feel, especially in the center of the pad since most weare occurs there. In the case of hard pads, the low friction really relies on surface texture and most hard pads are made of plastic that start to lose that texture from wear as you use it. The reason that a mouse pad is fast out of the box or after washing and then quickly slows down is twofold.

Has anyone ever experienced the same problem? If so how did you fix it? Also will using hard pads helps? I think it might not be the mousepad issues I also cleaned my otsu and it got better, but the top part is still a lot slower than the bottom part of my mousepad where I rest my forearm. I don't think mousepad should break in that fast. However after 3 days of using, the speed between the top and the bottom of my mousepad feels like day and night. I recently got an artisan hayate otsu mid and it's amazing. It is very noticeable and it only slows down on the area where i use my mouse, the parts where I place my forearm is still fast. Every time after I wash my mousepad, it becomes fast but only for a few hours. My ack feels muddy and it's really hard to make micro adjustments. I have used hard pads before and I didn't notice any slowing down in speed but the surface started to smoothen out. I never had any problem until I started to game more competitively. So basically I started out maining the ack and qck edge. Please respect the rules of the subreddit, flair your posts, and have fun! New to reddit? Click here!
