Rotex 125 soft or super soft?

[JamesB]

I am new to festool (a hobbyist and aspiring woodworker).  Recently bought the Rotex 125.  It came with the hard pad and I bought a softer pad. Can't find my invoice and don't know whether I bought the soft or super soft pad.  Unfortunately the festool item number is not printed on the pad.  The numbers on the inside of the pad are - 319111>pa6-gf50/pur

All Rotex sanders come standard with the soft pad. The topside of the pad is coloured black.

The super soft pad pad is coloured grey on top.

The hard pad is coloured blue on top.

The designation w-ht means it's the soft pad. W stands for the German word "weich" which means soft.

And where the HT stands for the German word "HochTemperaturbeständige Klette" which means a High Temperature Stickfix sanding pad.
In the ETS/WTS 150 series there are 2 types of black sanding pads: the W and W-HT series.
