Mitsuki Koku โ The Void Glass pad Initial Thoughts:
This glass pad honestly surprised me.
The initial friction is really low, so it feels fast right away and makes quick adjustments easy. At the same time, thereโs a noticeable texture under the skates, which gives it a bit more dynamic friction and helps with control when I'm micro adjusting.
Speed-wise, it feels slightly faster than the Statice Seraph, which is already a really fast pad.
The silicone base is really solid - it's on par with the River Muse Zhi, which is one of my favourite bases. There's no movement when trying to push the pad with alot of force.
Build quality is great overall. The artwork and etching look super clean and clear, and the 2.5D edges are great to have.
One thing I noticed is that my Westlab Black skates are a bit noisy on the Koku. They feel really fast but I'll need to try a few other skates to see how the speed and sound varies.
