*** TOP ANSWER *** The soft/xsoft is for stopping power for fps/tac shooter games. When you apply a tiny bit of force on mouse pad it causes mouse movement to slowdown dramatically. I have tried artisan zero (soft), hyate otsu (xsoft) but I went back to using the hein SOFT I find it’s the perfect amount of density to pull of 1 taps and crosshair placement, you just have to train your hand to apply pressure on mouse as your moving crosshair onto opponent. With that said, this mousepad is amazing and you get what you pay for

I actually ended up selling it, i only got a large so it was a bit too small, also I was using a g pro wireless at the time and the tracks where the skates go into had plastic sticking out pretty far and i'm pretty sure that was catching on the pad, would make sure you have thick skates if your mouse is anything like that. Other than all that it's an excellent pad, premium quality certainly wouldn't wear down for a long time, I'd just recommend getting an XL and maybe just a soft instead of xsoft, xsoft is great though with good skates, didn't have a problem with it on other mice.
