The real differentiator people gloss over is the static-to-kinetic friction ratio, not just which pad feels “slippery.” Glass sits at the extreme end of both axes with near-zero hysteresis—your static threshold barely spikes above kinetic, which is why it accelerates so smoothly but punishes micro-corrections during fine tracking. The catch is that glass has essentially zero Stribeck cushioning, so the stick-slip region that cloth naturally dampens gets exposed; if your hand micro-tremors or you feather pressure, you’ll feel it as jitter rather than the smooth glide. Cordura and cloth behave oppositely: the woven fiber matrix creates higher static friction with a pronounced velocity-dependent drop (classic Stribeck curve), giving you that “grab-then
