Starting off, these are a real good deal no matter which ones you purchase. 80 Skates for 600 is an absolute steal and beats Ultraglide by a MILE. I've only tried the Mercury and Neptunes so far so here is my opinion on both.
Tested both on SP004 and Matrova Yang for reference.
Mercury: They look like pretty unassuming OEM aliexpress skates but what they've got going for them is how they wear down. Instead of getting all scratchy and stuff when they wear down, they kind of wear down in a circular pattern, which makes them usable for way longer than most generic ali skates. I think they're pretty on par with Ghostglide N66s but do get slightly slower as time goes on.
Neptunes: Having tried 35+ skates, I think this is in my Top 3 for sure. They are so buttery, kinda like ultraglide silence greens with the speed, but due to how they wear down they are usable for so much longer. Objectively I think my aim in games like the finals has never been better. Tracking using these skates is truly blissful, I think I might them out lol.
The only downside I can think for these skates is that when you apply new ones, if youve got a PAW 3950 sensor in your mouse you need to increase the LOD in your mouse settings, since these are thick skates (also adding to the durability)
All in all a fresh set of skates (4 in my case) will last you about 3-4 weeks on glass ( as compared to about 10 days that most other skates do for me at least). Thanks to the adhesive not attracting all sorts of dust like some other skates do.
God knows how they've managed to pull off being the most durable and also the cheapest skates out there. I'm genuinely baffled.
WIll definitely be trying out Uranus and Venus skates next.
Oh also I forgot to mention, I reached my peak rank (#3 in Asia) in the Finals using these skates (Neptunes). Do with that what you will.
