Personal notes
Tested experience
Needs personal testing. Expected to be much faster than Zero, Type-99, Saturn Pro, and Hyperion. Soft should be the safest Raiden variant for people who want speed without going fully uncontrolled.
Pros
- Extremely smooth glide
- Very low static friction
- Excellent for tracking-heavy games
- Great micro-adjustment freedom
- Soft base adds some stopping power compared to Mid
Cons
- Not ideal if you need strong stopping power
- Can feel too fast for tactical FPS players
- Expensive
- Limited India availability
- Less forgiving than balanced-control pads
