I haven’t. It’s the simple case that I haven’t had a reason to seek an alternative. The local distributor keeps good stock in Magura and most shops can have them in a day or two (and I always have my next set at home ready to go).
If I thought I’d see an improvement in any performance metric without a detriment I’d try different pads for the sake of doing so but the only brake where I’ve experienced a benefit running pads that weren’t from the brake manufacturer is running Shimano Saint pads on TRP/Tektro brakes.
Most my after market pad experiences have been either same:same or poor.
