I am looking for switching for some harder pics and want your guidance and your view on what to pick. Buying all picks for testing is not an option, lol. They have to be more than 1 mm. I am looking into the Ibanez Grip Wizard Series Sand Grip PA16XS.

But come with your favorites. What makes you play faster than lightning?

I really like the Dava control tip picks I bought last year, they're incredibly tactile.
 
I ordered a set of leftlanetheory picks via his bandcamp page yesterday.  They're delrin, which I really like as a material, but roughened so they give better grip.  1.5mm too, the finest of all the pick widths.  I'll let you know what I think when they rock up.

Have you ever tried V-Picks?
 
They are very thick (2-3mm) and completely inflexible, and would appear to be completely unfit for purpose, but they play like a dream. I use their Screamer almost exclusively, although I do occasionally change to a larger smoother V-Pick for strumming open chords.
 
Another big plus is they take forever to show any signs of wear!

I use different ones ... I like the Dava picks a lot.  I also stumbled across COOL Picks Juratex at a local shop.  My new fave

I don't play with picks as a rule but when I do, I can't use anything but the Stubby. The grey ones, not the blue ones (which sound more "clicky" to me). They have virtually no give and excellent grip. Nothing comes close for me.

Dava Picks - Rock Control, Nickel Silver seems like a game changer. you can slide with this pick too.
