Does dot skates damage mousepads?

Hello everyone,

I recently switched back to using Dot Skates on my G Pro because I find them more comfortable and faster. However, I’m wondering if they might cause issues with my mousepad. I’m using an Artisan Zero Soft, and sometimes it sounds super scratchy when gliding the mouse. I’m a bit worried it could damage the mousepad.

For reference, I’ve used the largest size of Corepad Universal Dot Skates and applied 5 of them—following the usual placement and adding one in the center.

Has anyone experienced something similar or has advice? Thanks!
