Mousepad
Under the mouse is the Razer Gigantus V2, in use since September 2022. It is a cloth pad with stitched edges, 45 × 40 cm and 3 mm thick.
The surface has medium overall glide. Static friction is high and dynamic friction is medium, so the mouse takes a little more effort to start moving, then moves at a moderate pace. The foam is firm.

Mouse settings
In Fortnite the mouse runs at 800 DPI and 1000 Hz. That is the top polling rate the Superlight offers; its options are 125, 250, 500 and 1000 Hz.
X and Y sensitivity are identical at 7.0%, so horizontal and vertical movement scale the same way.
Targeting and Scope sensitivity are both 40.0%. These are multipliers of the X/Y value, not separate speeds, so aiming down sights and through scopes runs slower than the base sensitivity.

- Logitech G Pro X2 SUPERSTRIKE Lunar Eclipse: 1 g lighter, 0.62 cm shorter, 0.14 cm wider and 0.06 cm lower. It has Logitech HITS switches and polling up to 8000 Hz. It is the shortest of the four, and 40 pros use it now.

The Superlight 2 is the closest swap if the shell matters most, since its dimensions match. The SUPERSTRIKE and the U2-DW change the footprint, so they are the options to look at if a different shape is the goal.
