Lock-On Gear Odyssey — One Pad, Many Pads

This review was initially posted to Twitter, including pictures of the relevant topics. Read it here

How a 109€ glasspad and a 5€ pack of skates let you build the surface you actually want.

Fast or controlled: that's usually the whole conversation with a glasspad. The Odyssey turns it into a much more interesting one.

I bought the @LockOnGear Odyssey for a total of 114,95€ (including shipping) from @wearemaxgaming and it arrived about 4 days later, which is the usual shipping time I know of from MaxGaming.

Why the Odyssey

The glasspad market is saturated. Many new releases chase the same thing: more speed, or a louder gimmick to stand out from the pile. The Odyssey goes the other way. Lock-On built it as an evolution of the Harut, officially stating "faster than Harut while remaining controlled and approachable." Approachable is the main story here. But it comes from something the spec sheet doesn't necessarily mention: skates.
