[@888brownies]

can you just give me your over all favorite so I can commit to one first, I just kept wanting all of them

[@bluemangroup_1828]

also, I would reccomend the Hein Soft if you got it, it has a consistent X and Y axis and is overall better.

[@vivekchauhan888]

Dazs has the best video on KZbin.. truth of mouse pads. Long doesn't matter.. its so brief. Should I go for Artisan Hien Extrasoft?

[@hurricane-1836]

Song?) Shazam doesn't help

[@saint_snow]

To anyone that finds this vid on their artisan "journey" I guess, I own and have used the Zero, Hien and Otsu v2 on every variation. Simply put, the different densities are more of a way to fine tune the pad for your preferences. For example, if you like a little more speed and are willing to sacrifice some control, then get the mid. If you want more control and less speed, get the xsoft. *The soft is essentially the "default" version of the pad.* Now as for the different pads, the zero is their control pad, it's their slowest pad and yet it is still faster than most control pads on the market. Personally I like the soft for this and think it's a great place to start if you are completely new to artisan pads or mousepads in general. It's a safe pad. The Hien is a hybrid pad with speed more in mind. I personally like the xsoft of this as it softens up the texture of the pad a bit as well as provides some more stopping power to the pad. Great pad for tracking while the xsoft base could provide some control that would be helpful in click timing. Personally I still find myself straying away from this pad as the most annoying thing about it is that it pinches and pulls arm hairs due to the texture. If you aren't that hairy or use a sleeve than it won't be a problem. The Otsu v2 is a middle-ground between the previous. This pad has some texture like the Hien except not as rough, kind of smoother. Doesn't have issues with arm hair lol. The pad itself however, looks incredible. It has a jacquard weave (the zigzag pattern) that looks premium. Like if Mercedes decided to make a mousepad, this would be it. Personally I like the xsoft. It once again softens up the texture a bit and gives it some stopping power while still maintaining the speed. Not as much as the Hien from my perspective but it's enough. I find this at the moment truly a hybrid pad and good to use in any game. You might be wondering why I have not mentioned the mid on any of these and the reason is that I find that they don't equal the value that I pay for them. When you get an artisan it is expected that they are high quality. They are but they lack in areas that should be good at this price. You would expect these pads to not move on the desk and while the soft and xsoft are great the mid does not have the same outcome. Also one of my favorite features of the pads are that they are slightly above the edge stitching meaning that my mouse can glide across it and I don't feel the edge at all. This is something I have never felt on any other stitched edge pad. While they aren't bad pads surface wise, I just don't feel they are on the same level overall. I have also grown accustomed to the softer feel of the other pads. Lastly, I want to make a note that these pads, while overall are some of the best quality on the market, do wear in over time with constant use. This will essentially slow down the pad a bit adding more control to it. This happens with any of the pads and comes as a pro or a con. For the zero, I find this to be a con as the pad to me already has good control, so when it slows down a bit, while still a good pad, is not as enjoyable (to me) as it was fresh out of the box. However the opposite is true for both the Hien and Otsu. They feel very fast out of the box and at first I just kept finding myself wanting to go back to the Zero. However, I took the time use the pads, adjust to them and they did break in over some time gaining some (in my opinion) needed control. They became a delight to use, with myself gravitating to the Otsu for the reasons I stated above. Hopefully this wall of text gave you some insight to the pads as with so many options available can be overwhelming.

[@jgaming1972]

thanks, this helped me make good purchase decisions.

[@skullkrusher4418]

Could you elaborate on why the mid isn't any good? Does it just move on the table?

[@jmastro304]

So Hayate Otsu x soft , soft or zero soft ? I’m leaning towards hayate otsu. Apex is main but also play some other movement type shooters

[@attractivegd9531]

A random steelseries qck 2mm thick is better than any of the pads you listed. Cheaper, better tracking, no x vs Y axis discrepancies in the mouse feet resistance, no weird rounded borders, and it lasts at least 10 times more than the overpriced mats you paid for.

[@saint_snow]

@@jmastro304 ostsu xsoft is great for tracking and movement games, needs a bit of a break in to feel great. Better than a Hien as advertised. Zero soft is the best jack of all trades and is my main pad. I actually sold all my pads and just kept the zero soft and otsu xsoft.

[@tacomn]

Wow this is exactly what I have been looking for. Considering between the soft or xsoft and between the fx zero, hien, or the new otsu. Looking forward to watching this.

[@stayin91degrees]

Hello Dazs, as the only FX Zero pad available right now is the mid, is that one worth buying? I'm using the Logitech Pro X Superlight, and I'm currently using the old Razer Gigantus pad, which is very slow, or maybe its worn out, but I'm used to that, and would like to get a new slow control pad

[@lukebeatsgames]

Great video! I just got the Hien Soft and I play with the G Pro Wireless, and noticed you've changed your mouse feet. I see some people complain about the stock feet. Do you think corepad/hyperglides would be better on this setup? Or is the stock feet just fine?

[@bayzor]

get hyperlides bro

[@doctorgamingstein1557]

This might be a late but I believe corepad plus hien otsu xsoft is the go to move

[@Paternova]

Are these all the XL sizes? Not sure whether to get the L or XL as I hear they come quite small anyway..

Which one is better for the G pro superlight ?

[@indire2311]

Did the soft and x soft have a different x and y if so which one Ik mid has different x and y

[@interns_4774]

Long Question: should I get the hien xsoft over the artisan zero (zero is out of stock lol) pros and cons Right now I'm using the qck+ (qck edge specifically) and I feel like I should wait for artisan zero to be back in stock instead of getting the artisan hien. At the same time still kind of curious to have a pretty speedy pad and hoping I could perform pretty well with it if I take a decision to get it. I already perform very well with my steelseries qck+ but just doubting if I should get the zero just for performance or artisan hien just for aesthetics/trying out a fast pad (I really like the wine red look of it tbh). I've been doing a lot of research about artisan mousepads cuz they're pretty expensive just for a mousepad and hoping I won't regret my decision on buying one soon.

[@daffy4624]

The reason why you feel the textures more with Corepads is not because of their size, but because they are ~0,1-0,2 mm thinner than Hyperglides.

Which Zero Would be closest in speed to a Hien Soft?

[@NikCS2investor]

Hello and thanks for the video, it was good information about the different mousepads. However It wasn't clear for me which one feels more grainy ? I had a razer goliathus speed and a razer goliathus control , where the speed feels like a qck , the control feels more grainy like rough texture and that's my favourite mousepad. I don't know if you tried the razer goliathus control but I think you described the Hien as more grainy ?? But this is due to be ''hard'' or if you get the soft or extra soft will feel less grainy ??? If you can let me know which one it's more grainy and similar to the razer goliathus control that would be very good for me as that's my favourite. I had as well a GSE-RE and is quite slow but soft at the same time, I rather a bit faster but very important rough texture grainy not soft. So which one should I go for ??? Thanks again

Hello Dazs, thank you so much for this video everyone should watch it before buying an artisan very informative and correct info. I own Hien and recently bought the zero xsoft because some player I follow used it and also because everybody says its good for tactical shooters. Then after some research alot people saying soft was better than xsoft made me kinda regret buying the xsoft. After watching the video it gave me hope to turn out it wasnt a bad buy. Ty liked and subbed.

[@SPCxRecon]

Which do you like better, zero or hien?

[@cringekid69]

[@wmjames19]

i have the zero soft. I feel like on micro aiming/tracking that it feels like my cursor is stuttering a bit as if my mousepad is gripping my mouse slightly too much and when it breaks that grip, the cursor kind of jerks. (hopefully that makes sense). Wondering what you would recommend as a mousepad to get rid of that. I love the artisan pad and i like control but want to know if there is another pad that has control but is slightly faster than the zero. I play 600 DPI and 2 in game on apex for a reference of my speed

[@wmjames19]

@@erisium6988 …… skill has nothing to do with that. It’s a combination of having a heavy hand with a heavier mouse on a control pad, which is creating a lot of friction on the mousepad.

[@tigerwalms]

@@wmjames19 I've actually had this exact feeling with regards to the Zero XSoft, I wanted the initial friction to be just a bit less sticky for want of a better word. I've been using the Otsu XSoft for the last year which has been good but it feels just a little too fast which can be seen in the jittering and and lower accuracy. I have an Otsu Soft too but that's way too fast for me. What I think I basically need is a pad in the middle of the Zero and Otsu. Have ordered an Artisan Kou as believe this is where it sits, albeit the X/Y difference will be interesting and could be a deal breaker. Man it's hard finding the one isn't it!

[@wmjames19]

@@tigerwalms definitely appreciate that cuz I’ve been going back and forth on if I think the otsu might be too fast and thinking about the xsoft vs soft. Isn’t the Hien a inbetween tho?

[@tigerwalms]

@@wmjames19 No I believe the Hein is faster than the Otsu. The extra sandpaper like surface of the Hein makes it a no go for me though. Love the smooth surface of the Zero, the surface of the Otsu has a bit of roughness to it but nowhere near like the Hein. If you were going to try the Otsu I'd definitely recommend the XSoft as it seems plenty fast to me, I would never personally go faster, hence why my Otsu Soft will just be an ornament from now on! Note that your mouse and feet will have a huge say in all this. I have numerous G Pro Wireless and Superlights all with different glide feet on, I find the corepads the perfect middle ground.

I play on 0.5 Apex sens and 1600 dpi and I've been using the hayate otsu xsoft for a while. Very balanced pad , it has good speed so you can move the mouse around quickly and track with low sens but the texture it has also gives it nice control when you slow down. Very spongy as well so you could use that for extra stopping power but only if you really push down your mouse which i don't do.

I mostly play games like CS:GO and Valorant, which pad would you choose and why? Is the Zero the right choice? I can't decide if xsoft or soft would suit me better.. Also, maybe the Hayate OTSU would be great.. Hmm I am using fingertip/palm if that helps

[@taylorcollins7981]

I would go with the xsoft because you will have more control. The harder you push on the pad with your mouse, the slower the glide will feel if you get an xsoft. this is good for tac shooters because you will need the control to stop of players heads, but you still also be able to track well if you aren’t pushing down hard.

I still waiting why no pro player csgo use it?

[@afaegfaegaeg9551]

@@2i3u They use pretty much what their sponsor offers to them. Because their sponsors pay them pretty well and who doesn't want easy cash right? Also it doesn't matter what pad, mouse, keyboard you are using. Its all about sensivity and your aim. But they choose their own mice because a mouse with good shape is needed.

[@2i3u]

But mostly now csgo player is more up 2 their player Look at major yesterday no team use all 1 brand .. cz the brand alrdy know player dont like to forcr use on one brand except keyboard they dont realy matter

xraypad aqua control plus review pls

[@scotty_teee4226]

I have a hien soft and love it. I've heard the hien mid has a worse x and y, so this may be another reason for you to try out a soft or xsoft hien. Have you tried the raiden or any others? Since the hien, I can't really enjoy other brands of mouse pads anymore haha

[@2dgalaxy]

i had the raiden mid first and then i got the hien xsoft and I really dislike the hien, i just dont like the rough feeling on my mouse gliding and on my arm, the raiden is super comfortable but i want to get a zero since the raiden is fast

[@2dgalaxy]

@@richburmond6761 i have the zero now and i much prefer it over the others for everything. everytime i give the hien or raiden a try, i go back to the zero. the zero will not dissapoint

@@2dgalaxy what is it that makes the zero better for u? I heard it is a bit slow no??

[@2dgalaxy]

@@richburmond6761 its not slow, just slower compared to the other artisans, i have all artisan pads except the shidenkai and many other good pads the zero is quick enough for any game that you play and feels much better and consistent. i feel like i have good control and speed

[@Briiannn]

hey man Im gonna buy an artisan zero but i wanna know if theres a big difference between the zero fxsoft and soft

[@FaIconLive]

Same question here

[@jesheeYT]

what did you go with?

Me who doesn’t even have a mousepad: 👁👄👁

[@biomechian3106]

That upside down thing is so weird. I just tried it and my hien feels strangely smooth.

[@GiLLyMGL]

Dazs - I use HyperxFury Speed pad, I like how smooth it is and I want smth similar to it - I play fps games which should I get?

[@ryndrssn]

@Ahmad Ibrahim From what I know the Zero is the control version of Artisan pads, but is it faster than the HyperX Fury S Speed or about the same?

[@ryndrssn]

@Ahmad Ibrahim Ah gotcha thank you 🙏🏻

[@HAVOCSRT4]

Does hein soft get faster over time

[@jaguar5281]

Hello guys. I have Logitech G Pro + Hyperglides and a few year old steelseries qck+. It started to be sticky etc and I dont feel like I am playing comfortable anymore. I am looking for a good replacement. I mostly play FPS games and I am low sens player (1.5 800 on apex legends). I want to buy hien or zero. Which one would be the best for me and what hardness should I pick? I want something with a better glide cause qck is too "control" for me.

[@JBab23]

Your safest bet would be the zero soft.

[@blade8800]

@@JBab23 Hien Soft is better for games with tracking like Apex Legends. I only recommend Zero Soft to people who main games like CSGO or Valorant

[@Krejwik]

Yeah I mostly play apex legends and there is a lot of tracking. But sometimes you also need to do fast flicks.

[@Sordid_Lemon]

@@Krejwik FX Hien soft is definitley what you need then.

[@JBab23]

Well yea hien is the general consensus when it comes to those types of games, but it's also personal preference. I just thought he enjoyed his qck until it wore out. Zero is closest to qck and stays consistent.
