SP-005 vs 004

Review

So wanted to upgrade to the 005 because I really like the tapered edges and it's a bit bigger and from what I could read most people say it's the same as the 004 and just wanted to say that it's not the case for me, at all.

The 005 is noticeably slower where it feels more like a control pad now. I don't have a protractor but doing a tip test on my pad with a wireless mouse it would start to slide at roughly 25 degrees on the 004 and it wouldn't start moving until about 35-40 degrees on the new 005 which I agree with on feeling.

It's not a CR-005 (I have one of those as well) but feels similar comparing the dynamic friction of it but without that feet chewing horrible static friction it has.

As of not I'm not sure if I like it or not, been using the 004 for over a year and now everything feels like mud but I'll use it for awhile and see what happens.
