High-porosity cloth pads will mess with your tracking.

Yes, especially in humid conditions or long sessions.

That open weave soaks up hand sweat like a paper towel. As the pad gets damp, your mouse sensor starts acting weird — skipping, jittering, or feeling sluggish. It’s not just a minor annoyance; it can ruin a clutch moment.

The fix isn’t complicated. Either switch to a low-porosity cloth pad (like a Cordura or a denser weave) or use a hard pad. Or, and this is the boring answer, take breaks and wipe the pad down with a dry microfiber cloth. Your aim will thank you.

I would not recommend a high-porosity pad for anyone who plays more than an hour at a time.
