Speed or Control?
A speed surface reduces movement resistance and makes small corrections easier, while a control surface adds friction that helps some players stop. Choose around your play style, then adjust mouse sensitivity gradually instead of changing the surface, sensitivity, and skates together.
Signs you prefer speed
You use arm movement, play at lower sensitivity, or feel that cloth resists fast corrections more than you want.
Signs you prefer control
You use higher sensitivity, prefer a clear stopping feel, or frequently overshoot on faster surfaces.
A fair test
Keep the game, sensitivity, and skates fixed, then repeat similar tracking and stopping drills. Record feel and accuracy instead of judging from the first few minutes.

Frequently asked questions
Does a fast surface automatically improve accuracy?
No. It may suit a play style, but accuracy still depends on sensitivity and practice.
Should I change sensitivity immediately?
Test the surface first, then adjust sensitivity in small steps.
