My first sleeve, and a great experience
Pros
- glide on Key83 and glass
Cons
- thumb/glove
- color options
For context, I've never used a sleeve before, although I've always been curious about whether I would notice a difference. The long and short of it is yes, especially for my specific scenario. I live in a very humid area, so I tend to experience pretty bad skin-stick even on cloth, and using the rs+ has honestly been a godsend for my collegiate matches. While I can't compare to other sleeves, I have some notes and points of interest that people should know if considering this sleeve.
First of all, this thing glides extremely smoothly on my Key-83 mid, and it legitimately surprised me how well it performed, because I've always heard the Key-83 works poorly with a lot of sleeves. It feels much better than using no sleeve, especially when it gets hot in my room to go along with the humidity. I like that my arm glides very smoothly on the pad, but I can still feel the texture of the pad under the sleeve.
Also, the sizing feels nice, with it being very tight for me, which is my preference for sleeves, as I do weightlifting with knee sleeves. It doesn't feel overly tight anywhere, even with me getting a small, as I am built like a twig.
If I were to give one gripe with the sleeve, which isn't even the fault of the product, as much as it is mine, it would be the thumb/glove portion. I just personally don't feel like I can grip the mouse well when using the thumb/palm portion, but I just remedy that my folding that inward and using it like a sleeve that just goes to the wrist. I will say, it works perfectly fine like that, and folding it in doesn't cause it to bulge or become uneven anywhere that actually matters for using it.
Not really a con, but something to know is that the lettering and design on the side of the sleeve is raised and you can feel that it is different from the rest of the sleeve, but it never makes contact with the pad due to where it is placed on the sleeve.
Overall though, I really enjoy using this sleeve, and it feels so much better compared to what I'm used to.
