CUTTING-EDGE TEXTURE
If you take a close look at the DeX, you'll notice that this isnt your regular, everyday mousepad. What you’ll notice is that most of the material actually sits below the surface edge, a special textured pattern of raised hexagonal ridges reduces the contact points between the mouse and the pad. Less contact means less friction. These incredibly small ridges minimize friction while maintaining the precise tracking of a high-end surface.

It's not. I had both speed (qck of very first generation, which broke quite a while ago and started leaking) and control (goliathus control of second generation). They are completely different. Even Asus has it well explained on Strix Glide pages. Speed has smooth finish and glides with little friction. Suits well for fingertip grip and low sensitivity. Control is heavy waved, has friction, suits well for palm grip and high sensitivity players.
As my Deathadder 2013 got dead, i went back to fingertip mouse and got Logitech G Pro. I like it and it feels excellent for a fingertip grip. One problem - it feels disastrous on control - collect every cell and vibrating in a hand while moving mouse over it. It feel great on qck, but it's broke after another wash and has rubber leaking. I need another speed and i want XL. But modern qck and HyperX pro XL are not edged, so will wear faster and my qck and especially Goliathus, Cougar Speed 2 XL is too narrow with its 80 cm. Modern Goliathus has ugly picture over it. So there is only Sheath left and one Chinese among available here. Hence why i'm asking.

Dude. Again grabbing that Steelseries quote:
That's not how it works. Physics. Less area of contact but the same weight means the same drag.
Speed, Control it's all just marketing. Trust me it's down to personal preference, do you know which you prefer? 'Cause if you think one's gonna make you better at a game, it's not.
The friction is down to the material. On some mousepads it's a more spaced weave using soft fabric, on others it's a tighter weave made out of some poliester hybrid. The Sheat is the latter, says so on the product page.
