Hi guys, i'm looking for the closest pad to SS qck+ in terms of glide/friction/speed which i really liked, and i'm also used to it.
Currently have:
DM pad = too fast
Zowie G-SR = too slow
I need something similiar but more durable than it, any suggestions?

QcK's cloth surface is untreated.
Most of other cloth pad are treated/coated and gives a satin feel.
The closest cloth pad to qck I've used is Corsair MM100. Similar surface and similar thickness. Yes, thickness matters alot too.
But that was years ago. I see corsair's mouse pad lines changed a lot now. I'm not sure if they are keeping using the same fabric on MM100.

EDIT:
Goliathus Speed is a typical coated cloth pad. I have 4 Goliathus Speed in different sizes.
If someone feels Goliathus Speed is similar to QCK, then he should think all cloth pads are similar.

Since you want something that resembles QCK 's every characteristic, it would be very likely that your alternative has similar life span to QcK.
So, just buy Qck. You already like it and it's not very expensive compared to other name brands though.

Glorious pads retain their glide for much longer and are not affected by humidity. But they have a different x and y axis movement feel, due to the weave.

QCK+ and heavy feel good when they are new and have the same x and y axis feel. But lose their glide really quick and the glide is affected by humidity.

The closest one to the qck+ if you want a different pad, is the Puretrack Talent after you wash it at least once.

But honestly, if you like the qck+ , might as well keep buying it. It is available everywhere. So there is no reason not to buy another one.

I've bought a couple of glorious pads recently and when you run your hand over them they are so bumpy. From different vendors as well. Both deskpads. Are they all like this? It's so bad on my two that it adds or subtract around 1cm depending where I swipe at 60cm/360 I recycled both of them

After reviewing the Dream Machines DM Pad, I'd suggest you to go with that. DM Pad L is 450x400x3, so it's 1 mm thicker than the normal QcK+ and it has stitched edges. The surface is very very similar to the QcK.
