Im looking to order the hayate otsu off amazon. I was just wondering if there was anything distinguishing the v1 and v2, and are all the hayate otsus sold on the artisan store on amazon the v2 version?

Also is there a difference between the wine red otsu and the black?

Edit: Also any recommendations for hardness level? I've seen a lot of people say XSOFT is great but personally I was leaning towards purchasing the MID.

Hi I wanted to buy a G-SR-SE ROUGE but don’t like the color and I saw the gris version and wanted to know if the G-SR-SE Gris is the same thing and just a different color or are they both different pads with different preformance

I am currently using a hyper x fury s mouse pad and was looking for an upgrade.

My main games are rainbow six siege and counter strike

I was wondering if anybody could help me find the one that would be best for those games and easy to adjust from my current mouse pad.

I play 800 dpi and typically average middle ground sensitivity in all my games

What is the best artisan it is my birthday and I’m looking to buy an artisan mousepad I just don’t know which one. SOME SAY HIEN SOME SAY ZERO. I play valorant on 800 dpi and 0.28 in game sens. THANKS GUYS

I'm looking to purchase either the vaxee PA or artisan zero. From what I've read the zero is a faster control pad and the vaxee is a slower control pad. Its just one thing with the vaxee that I would ha e liked an XL version beacuse i usually play more towards the slower sens. The mouse I'm gonna use is the vaxee outset. I've seen that the gsr-se 2 is very similar to the vaxee pad but that's also only avabile in size L.

Any recommendations playing mostly fps games and don't want a fast pad. More towards control but still not a mudd pad like qck heavy or something.

I just switched from my setup place and I need to buy new things, I used to have a full desk mousepad (I think it was 90x40 idk) but now I need a smaller mousepad (My new desk size is 72x32 cm) so I was thinking on getting a mousepad that is around 70x30, but I want a better mousepad, idk if I should just buy an x-ray mousepad ( Aqua Control II 360x300mm) or a custom specterlabs desk mat that fits all my desk, the main problem with the specterlabs mat are the cables, since the desk was custom hand made, I asked for space for my cables and stuff, so the desk mat will have a bump, and the one I have was a gift from my dad and I don't want to throw it away or tear it, since it doesn't fit I'll need to change it

Hey!

Does anybody know a mousepad brand that doesn't use synthetic material like reused pet bottles, polyester etc?

I don't want to rub my skin 10 hours a day on estrogenic substances if I don't have to.

I have played CS for many many years, and I need a new mousepad. I've been using G-SR mainly for the past 5 years but I've ground tired of it wearing out fast.

I'm looking for the following:

* Cloth

* Fast but also good stopping for controlled flicks.

* Fits well with the EC2-CW

I'm very open for suggestions. Best Regards.

Is there any differences between the two surface wise or anything, or is it just purely for looks?

Hi all,

I hope you guys are doing well. I am writing this post as I need some insight on how worth it the artisan mouse pads are. Right now I am looking to get an Aritsan Hien Xtra soft to play competitive fps games like counter strike and Valorant. I am wondering if getting one of these mouse pads is truly worth it and would make my game play significantly better. Thanks for the help.

I'm currently using a Fantech Strikepad, the glide was very fast with the stock skates of the VXE R1 Pro Max, but after I switched to Unusual Way Sports skates (which are theoretically faster, because they are 100% PTFE) the speed decreased a lot, to the point of being unusable due to the mouse getting “stuck” on the mousepad.

Is there any explanation for this? The glide on a generic speed mousepad feels much better and lighter than on a fiberglass mousepad.

Tanks you all guys for participating!

Looking for a mousepad which is as slow as possible

My review is most likely different than those that you have seen.

TLDR; Please recommend me a mousepad with low static friction, very easy to do micro adjustments, has some dynamic friction to allow control when tracking so I can have somewhat straight mouse movements. Has good glide, doesn't get affected by humidity and temperature. Doesn't feel muddy, or sticky. I mostly play valorant and finals here and there.

During the past two years or so I've tried few mousepads. These are my thoughts on those for reference.

1. QCK edge/heavy - Decent on good days with low humidity. Gets really sticky when used for a little time, impossible to micro adjust afterwards. Honestly I was never consistent with these pads, I play really well when it's good and terribly when it's sticky.

2. Razer Gigantus V2 - Super inconsistent surface. I can't aim on this. None of my shots are precise. Micro adjustments go all over the place, it's like the sensor doesn't work on these pads (Lamzu Atlantis Mini)

3. Cougar Control EX - My current main, it was really good when I initially bought it but after 2 months of use it wore off. Washing it didn't help. Now it's a tad bit slow for my liking I need a bit more glide.

4. PK Control 1 (new version) - Super Muddy, Super slow. Slowest pad I've used. I can't really micro adjust on this but my flicks are super precise it locks in. I don't like this pad. I need more speed since I play low sens.

Mice I use - Lamzu Atlantis Mini , Pulsar X2V2 medium

Sensitivities: VALORANT - 0.27 - 0.28 range (800 dpi / 1khz) Finals - 27 - 28 (800 dpi/ 1khz)

Grip: Relaxed Claw

Can’t yall tell how excited I am to use it!🙁

So i recently got a new mouse along with the Zowie G-SR.

I made a stupid mistake of not taking off the protective film off my mouse but surprisingly enough my aim sky rocketed. Everything felt really slow and i was clicking heads like never before. After a couple games i took the film off and completely lost it.

Would getting a really slow control pad be worth it and if so could i get some recommendations?

TY

So I recently purchased the Fnatic Jet XD. It was awesome, but it got oily way too fast. I have OCD so that just was not happening. Also heard it wore down in under a month for most people. I need a new one now.

Requirements

-Smooth surface, fast action. I loved how fast and smooth the Jet was, even though it was a little "gritty" to the touch. I usually never even use a mousepad because the ones I have used were gritty and caught my skin, which was quite unpleasant, but now I have a desk with grooves from where the boards connect.

-Will last a long time. I plan to game on this mat, as well as program, edit, CAD, ect. I use my computer a lot for work. I dont want it to wear down quickly

-Under 75$, I considered a glass desk mat but the full desk mat size was double the price, and I'm saving for a 3rd monitor.

Other than that not much else. I've been looking for a while but I keep finding mats, finding out they're good, and then people here say its garbage. So I really don't know what to think. Don't wanna return and buy over and over. Currently looking at the LGG planet mats.

What is a glass mousepad is the most controlable? Preferably one i can order in germany or also from maxgaming.

And not too expensive like max 90-100 bucks. And preferably a none coded one, cause the wear down

Hello!

I currently use the xtrfy GP4, and i've really enjoyed it. However i want to replace it, and try a new mousepad.
I like that is has some control, and heard that maybe Artizan Zero is similar?
I play on a relatively low sens (800 DPI, 0.28 in valorant which is 224 eDPI)

I'm up for trying other type of pads with more or less speed/control.

Would love to hear some suggestions!

Whats the best way to clean a mouse pad of dust, ( I have the artisan hayate otsu ).

Can I use one of those sticky lint rollers? Or should I use one of the non-sticky ones like a brush or whatever they are called? They won't scratch or damage the pad or anything?

I mainly play CS2, OW2, Valorant so what kind of pad would be a upgrade? I hate the stitching on the edges of the MPC-450 because it pops out so much, so something that's kinda flat would be optimal. I'd like a bigger mousepad aswell, something like a 500x500 and something that isn't greatly affected by humidity. Also thought about maybe replacing my GPX superlight skates, so recommendations on that department would be appreciated aswell.

(Something non-cordura)

[EDIT: I ordered a hayate otsu mid XXL, idk what mouse skates to buy tho]

Hello ive been using qck for a long time abd ive decided to change mousepad

Should i go for glass mousepad or something else?

Im using logitech g pro wireless mouse

Had thi spad for a year now with no issues. recently the pad starts to get really muddy just days after washing. it feels rough to the touch and my arm now stick super hard to the pad. it hates moving making flicks and micro adjusts painful since i play super low sense. used to have low initial static fric but now i actually have to like force my mouse to move. is the material just fucked? the middle also feels like its been smoothened out when itouch it..

oh also when i drag my mouse across the pad it now sounds like its grinding against something. i have glass skates

• it seemed to be "shedding" fibers? i can see some random chunks of like dust or something on it after using it.

When I bought the aqua control plus, I really liked it because it wasn't too slow but just the right amount of speed and control but after a few days of using it, it became extremely slippery and I noticed that I was overflicking way too much. So I got a zowie gsr 2. It felt like a mudpad and it really helped. My overflicking was completely gone. However, again after playing for sometime, this too became extremely slippery to the point that I don't feel any amount of stopping power from the mousepad, my mouse feets keep gliding. At first I thought it was because of the oils in my hand so I started using handwash evrytime before I started playing. Didn't work, still got extremely slippery. So I switched to wet wipes. Didn't work still. Now I don't know what to do. If any1 has any suggestions or know any solutions please help me out.

I play cs2. I have g pro x superlight. Any recomendations?

Title, basically. I bought a skypad 4.0 and, while I love the tracking, I do notice how susceptable it is to moisture. We are entering summer. I'm just not going to wear a compressions sleeve everytime I game. Personal preference. Thoughts?

hey, ive been using the Logitech medium hard pad for a couple years now. ive been thinking of switching to many things (zowie gsr-ll, steel series QCK, fnatic dash, LGG Venus, and Artisan Hein). those are my top choices but i dont really know which one to choose. im normally a high sens player but i sometimes switch to low (in fps). i need a bigger mousepad and one that is smooth and has a bit of stopping power. so i was wondering, which one would you suggest? i mainly find the zowie gsr-ll and hein the best

I bought a “Tiger esports mousepad” on aliexpress , but instead I recieved what looks like a heavily used artisan zero. The bottom has no rubber like the real one so I’m confused
